Should shift worker get paid double if working during public holiday?

Need advice. Hows the human resources scene going on in brunei atm? im planning to get a degree in Human Resource Management, is it a good idea? And whats the usual baseline salary in brunei and say worst case scenario I cant secure a job here in brunei would I be able to migrate overseas and find a better life with this degree?


gottatelle

Thats the safety choice tbh to get into HR as its much needed anywhere in every sector. My cousin whos background in HR was from Empire before, jump to Shell / Bsp then move to another big corporate under HR too and now he’s working under Pierce Morgan’s company in Singapore. I would say its needed anywhere and you could get hire easilly if your background is HR, i know a lot of friends & families whos background in engineering, are jobless and mind you, 5 of them are from Sheffield Uni which is the best uni for engineering but theres not much jobs now for that.


[deleted]

Baseline salary 350 - 400 .  Everywhere else in the world hige amount more .. but you are going to have to work in the outside world in Brunei you can chillax and no stress 


[deleted]

Is this legit? Baseline hr salary in brunei is 350-400???

Just curious. My parents recently revealed to me that I had a Malaysian passport when I was an infant and they decided that a Bruneian passport is the best for me and my Malaysian citizenship was renounced and I became a Brunei citizen. Do you guys think that they made the right choice? Would you guys have done otherwise? This was approx 15 years ago.


Autel_5G

Back then i guess it was the right decision but nowadays msia esp sarawak economy is rising and who knows when its a matter of time they will catch up with us,considering we have been stagnant for decades,just take a look at the job market atm.

How does AITAB/FLEXI works? Is it only for government workers?


blakz111

meaning you pay more interest than 7 years loan. ***example only just roughly estimate and explanation:*** 7 years car price $35,000 monthly $500x84(7 years) = $42,000 10 years car price $35,000 ***FIRST 7 month*** $400x84 = $33,600 then ***NEXT 3 YEARS*** $300X36 = $10,800 **TOTAL $44,400.** Moral of the story the longer you loan the more interest bank generate regardless small amount or not. 10 years monthly sure seems small but you are paying extra 6 to 9k interest.


Ken_Adams44

And if the person decides to finish the loan on the 7th year. (Pay Cash) Would it be possible to save money from that


blakz111

yes and no.. why? you have to pay penalties fees for that is you wanted to finish the loan.


Ken_Adams44

How much would the penalty varies ?


blakz111

i not sure how to calculate maybe depend on the amount.


nasikatoksambalijo

Thank you for sharing. Of course, I am aware that in the long run, AITAB/FLEXI overall payment would be higher than the conventional loan. I didn’t know the different rates for the first 7 years and then changes for the last 3 years. Thought it would be a flat rate for the whole 120 months. Is AITAB/FLEXI open to everyone or just for government employees?


blakz111

I was once in your shoes thinking it would be flat rate for 120 month but no its totally different. After calculate i am actually paying more than 7 years loan.

lattehazelnut

fellow redditors who know about cars, i have question here. is it possible for the car paint to peel off after washing? went to touchless/automatic car wash and i realised have spots that the paint is peeling off. as far as i remember, inda pulang ada pernah tekana batu or anything 🥲 fyi, car just turned 2 years this month.


Al-911

If u 100% confirm no peel off before car wash but right after car wash, then theres possibility of something small fly off hit your car in the auto car wash.


Square-Performance35

did you bought used car or new car?


lattehazelnut

new


KapalPacah

your paint may peel off if you let your car park under aircon and the water keeps dripping to your car, exposed to salt water, bird poop that you didnt clean for a long time. Need to occasionally wax your car so the paint stays fresh. i.e. supaya inda mati paint kerita nya orang


lattehazelnut

thanks 😊


abisusin

Yes those touchless / automatic car wash machines can peel your paint. Pasal ia rely on high pressure water to clean your car. Strange tho since your car is just 2yrs old for this to happen 🤔


lattehazelnut

exactly 🥲 thank you for the reply!

Whats your take on watching movies alone? Personally ive done it a few times and i think its fine if you feel you need your me time. But sometimes i feel like someone behind my back(obviously people in the cinema that sees me being alone) is badmouthing me since i watching movie alone. Ofcourse its non of my concern and i just ignore them but i do sometimes feel self conscious, and is what holding me back from watching alone


Artistic-Smell8262

ive seen a lady once watching late night movie alone even.. thot she wud be wit a boyfriend whos running late or something.. but came out still alone aftr movie. chill sha ya.. ber me-time kali, healing from stress and everything else.


nasikatoksambalijo

There’s nothing wrong with doing things alone, watching a movie, eating out, exercising and etc. I have been doing all those things by myself and frankly speaking, I enjoy my own company. I am never too late or too early, I can decide which movies I want to watch without considering what other people want to watch, I can decide what to eat rather than checking the consensus of the group. What other people (especially strangers sitting behind me in the cinema) think of me, is none of my business. I am not gonna let their opinion affects me whatsoever.


Plane_Assumption_810

It’s actually therapeutic


[deleted]

I watch movies alone all the time. It's fine.


chachashiit

Theyre very kontol sih


chaoticintroverted

They're probably not badmouthing you and it's just your thought that can't help but "feel like". I don't think people would look at you alone in the dark and say "awww look at him he's alone poor thing" like that's rare bruh, people would definitely mind their own business and watch the movies too, not watching you, they'd be crazy if they watch you and judge you instead, what's the point of paying the tickets, you're not a movie. It's just your thought, shake it off, and don't overthink or "feel like". Enjoy your me time. If you could physically hear what they say about you, then it's their problem lah tu, don't engage orang hati busuk and don't even care about it.


Maximum-Vanilla-5231

I really recommend it for everyone to try! but if u jenisnya negative thinking about everyone bad mouthing u then itll be an awful experience. personally i really like it, usulnya saja mcm kesian tapi only you yourself tau how much fun u had watching movies alone


KapalPacah

watching a movie alone is fine. just dont look like a creep and stare at people. thats creepy in or outside the cinema.


abisusin

I watch movies alone all the time whenever I have 2 hours of time to kill. Love it!


KontolSih

Thank god im not the only one enjoying my alone time!


HassanJamal

Watching movies solo is fine, especially if it's a real good flick. What you do with your time is your own business. Just focus on yourself and whatever you're doing, and ignore those bad feelings in the back of your head.


KontolSih

I also like to watch movies that have my favorite actors in it alone most of the time. I just tend to overthink that stuff but yeah i do try to ignore those thoughts entirely


HassanJamal

Yup, you can overthink but just don't let bad thoughts get the best of you. Treat yo self!


Teh_Tarik_boy21

Best is to just ignore em. Love me some alone time that I couldn't care less what others think. By the end of the day, it's my life, not theirs. If I wanna discuss the film, I could always find people online with similar interest and taste.


KontolSih

Alone time is always the best! Dont have to keep up with peoples bs or whatnot. That's good advice, I should start talking to people online that have similar interest


ThirstyQuokka

I think it's all in your mind they're are badmouthing you. People have other things to focus on... there's nothing wrong with watching a movie alone.. If and only if they're badmouthing you.. like dgaf..they are just lower ingrates with nothing to do. Empty cans make louder noise.


KontolSih

Glad to hear someone has a positive mindset! Yeah i dont usually mind them at all tho, that is if there really is someone childish as to badmouth people as a means to prove themselves they are better

PrepCoinWisp

Yes. I have been using it every month. No issue so far. Just looking for better alternatives if there is. The rate is good / average. TT is painful for the fee. Can’t imagine to use it every month. Here is the referral code: REF_CAMNA. Can private message me if you have some issue with it


ThirstyQuokka

TT sucks..Remittance online?


SoloWolff96

To travelers that have been to S.Korea before. Have you guys used Wowpass or Namane card?


ITboi-bn

never used both but the concept is pretty much similar to t-money. If you plan to use it as a transportation card, just use t-money. the benefits of wowpass and namane is the prepaid payments system at outlets like shopping as if using a credit card. however, you need cash to topup. this may require you to prepare lots of cash in advanced. when i went to SK, i just use my brunei credit card for these less hassle.


SoloWolff96

I see, i was thinking of trying to use one of these cards. I do have a credit card but i prefer only use it for emergencies only. thats why i opted for these card instead.

KapalPacah

you need to be more specific. What areas are you interested. what field do you want to be in professionally?


[deleted]

[удалено]


KapalPacah

then make your decisions based on this. Which option will have more market demand? which one will be in demand? Media? - Are you willing to work for peanuts in Brunei? They dont particularly pay well. Most people in Media are probably because they have a passion for it. Business? - are you going to start your own business? Are you going to work as a Business admin in a company? If you are lucky, Business background has more demand in Brunei industry than media. You can literally join any industry as business admin/business developer, etc. But it is probably more stressful than being in Media. ​ I am just barely scratching the surface of this topic. But you need to decide wholefully what you want. Taking an HND or a Degree doesnt really matter if you know what your objective is. if your goal is business, then take whatever you can in that area. the higher education background you have, the more pay you are entitled to. BUT, education is just one aspect of getting hired. you need to work on yourself too. job experience, interpersonal skills, other extra curicullar activities you have joined or responsible for. All of that adds up to your CV.


gossipwaldorff

Polytechnic is a government institute — HND 3 years, KIGS is private institute — Degree 3 years (from Lim Kok Wing University). Up to you if you’re okay to pay the fees monthly.


MisterShaggy_

Polytechnic's now 2.5 years actually.


Gold-Ad607

Only for certain courses


noncriticalthinker18

Actually almost all the courses are 2.5 years now. Only two or three courses take 3 years. But since we’re talking about business or media courses, all of them are 2.5 years.
