Why Malaysian Employee Prefer Working In Singapore? [ March 7th, 2010 ] | 259 views | 3 Comments

Recently, my closest friend of secondary school had shared with me that nearly 5 of his classmates are in Singapore now. I’d say the biggest reason for most of the people work there is due to the currency. Meanwhile, my fellow blogger also have had the same mentality like me.

Honestly, I’m one of those Malaysian who love Singapore too! Though I knew working in Singapore is much more stressful and tough compared to Malaysia, but I think that’s what really challenging about it and eventually we’ll be exposed to more useful working experiences. I believe Singapore provides a better foundation for solid working experiences, especially in multi-national company.

Based on my personal experiences, Singapore is very safe too! I can feel that there will be lower crime rate. In addition, Malaysians working in Singapore has a better deal than Singaporeans because they don’t have to do national service.

Hence they move higher and faster than Singaporean, what do you think? Singapore is a good place to work in due to everybody is treated equal. Although I am not like about Singapore living expenses but I believe that there’s great place for you to get the job satisfaction.

How Singaporean Employers View A Malaysian Employee?

Prudential vs Great Eastern

prudential_vs_GE

Great Eastern is Singapore’s leading life insurance group and most of the Asian prefer it rather than Prudential. I get most of the Insurance information from my Prudential agent who is also my good friend and also the Great Eastern agent previously…So, I can know the clearer picture between both.

I got one crazy friend spend almost 70% of his income on buying insurance to protect himself. For me, no need do like that. What’s the point of living a long life if you cannot enjoy the joys of living?

If one do not know how to give up smoking, no exercise and insufficient sleep, heavy drinks, and always take fatty food also useless. Am I right?

Which Has Best Insurance Policy?

I personally think that good agent is the best policy. Great Eastern has a lousy claim service and extremely stupid underwriters? I am not sure about that…

Will Commit Suicide Covered In Insurance?

Cover will vary from policy to policy. It mostly contains a suicide provision. If the holder commits suicide, within one year from the date of commencement of the policy, the policy shall be void and the premiums paid will be refunded.

I will share the cash value comparison between Great Eastern and Prudential in the coming articles. Stay tuned !!!

Do You Invest In Unit Trust ?

I owned some public mutual funds and the prices dropped so badly since the day I put in money. Now the loss is about 5%-8%. Anyway, now is not a good time to invest in UT. The financial professional predicted that the market would continue to go down until 2009. If you feel that it’s the best time to go in then you can make a commitment to invest consistently and wait for the market to reach the up cycle again and you can sell off all your units for a handsome profit.
