result of your interview

Hi,
Have you finally decided to come to S'pore or decided against it? For a pittance of SGD 4300 pm, I wonder if you will even get an Employment Pass.

Hi Guys

How are you ?

I'm from chennai(India). I work in IT industry.

A company called me today and they told me that they can offer 4300SGD as salary. They told that it is a 1 year renewable contractual Positon.

I'm an unix administrator from chennai with 6 years of experience. I don't have any idea about the cost of living in singapore.

I need to know if 4300SGD is a good salary to stay in Singapore. What would be the expenses for a person ? Can I save money and send it to India ?

Please let me know.

Good enough for the pass.
Not good enough to survive in the country.

if $4300 is not enough to survive here, then almost half of the people here would have been dead!

What is 'survive'? 2 holidays to europe annually? 3 times a week dine at restaurant? 1 conti car? 1 condo at least?

of course $2300 is more than enough to survive in Singapore for a single person

There are many people who just got their keys to their BTO flats are renting out their flats illegally. The authorities must increase enforcement and confiscate these people's flats. We have rules and we must follow rules.

I heard that too. I'm told you can see a lot of foreigners in BTO estates. No wonder there is talk of oversupply of rental properties. Many are illegally leasing out their BTO flats. Why is no action taken?
