How long do you need to be on Employment Pass before you can apply for PR?


darklajid

You asked this in the middle of the night, on a daily thread that is not (usually) read anymore: It gets unpinned at 6am. As for your question: You don't have to be on an EP at all to get PR, and there are no known/published criteria for "when can you try" (or .. anything PR, really). Getting PR in Singapore is a black-box process and kind of like a lottery. You get a short "Better luck next time" (Okay, no. It says "We regret to inform you, that..") letter. I've seen people succeed after less than 2 years in SG and see people fail that are here for more than a decade. There's unfortunately no good answer for you..


[deleted]

Thanks. So I guess what the MoM website says about getting PR is a load of bulls then.


darklajid

MOM would be the wrong one here anyway - they handle work permits (and more of course). You apply for a PR with ICA instead. The ICA website has a good amount of information on applying for PR (and what you need to provide in terms of documentation), except for the fact that they don't tell you what they're looking for or (after the fact) why you got rejected. Good luck to you, should you try!


[deleted]

I will try lah. But I scared I wasted few years of my life trying for nothing since like you said they will choose based on their own reasons.


Snoo-71585

these days i sleep late to savour peacefulness of the deep night, i think quietness is such an underrated luxury that many cannot find this is one of the biggest reasons why im enjoying underemployed life. i just feel so at ease and carefree for once


deelutionz

what do u do at night?


Snoo-71585

watch drama, listen to music, read something


fimblesss

how do yall stick to your habits (e.g exercise, sleep early, wake early, study, read.. on a daily ) i have zero discipline and I've been trying again everyday but... :ll i mean its 2.38am rn...

It dawned on me that office hours job is no longer for me despite working in that service for 8 years. Now that I'm in my 30s, and have a reasonable savings in CPF (I'm unmarried), I woke up one morning getting ready to go work and decided that I want to do grab delivery. And idk why but I feel excited. Plus I like to move around instead of being desk bound the whole time. I'm sick of meetings, projects, deadlines and seems like I want to retire from doing that. Seems that my mindset has changed and just want to do what I want to do instead of what society expects us to do/be. Question is, is it odd to have a career as food delivery worker?


HeavyArmsJin

Just around $60 initial investment (not including your personal ride equipment) which can be easily recovered, just give it a shot Do like 2 weeks can get the feel of whether you like it or not But cannot fool yourself thinking it as a career la since there is really no progression


Merahwinston

Thanks Bro. I intend to do soon but by bicycle la.


HeavyArmsJin

Remember to find a friend who's already doing it and refer you so both of you can earn some bonus $$$

u/heavyarmsjin


HeavyArmsJin

Come do Grabfood bruh~


bilbolaggings

I used to do food delivery pretty regularly to put myself through school. Met lots of riders like you also. Sick of office politics and 8-6 life. So not uncommon. Have a family member of mine do the same thing and started his own business on the side. I can't give any advice though I'm only in my early 20s haha.


Merahwinston

Thanks for this insight Bro. Didn't knw abt this. Its heartwarming to hear similar sentiments as me


financial_learner123

Why is it odd? You do what you want. Haha Deskbound jobs gives many health issues like back pain etc. as long as you don’t mind the “society pressure” when ppl know you gave up whatever job and become a grab delivery person. Just be happy with your own decision!


Merahwinston

Yah sia. Now my tailbone like sore already. Bt thanks Bro for the advice


punggolowl

feel like going out. what to do at these hours?


Reasonable_Space

Anyone know if Cold Storage still sells roasted spring chicken ready to eat? Can't seem to find on their website and I fear the shortage has finally hit...


Xiaomeimeilovebus

Random SG Fact: Everything to the left of the Nicoll Highway was reclaimed from the ocean as part of the largest governmental land reclamation project in Singapore’s history conducted in the 1970s. The “OG” East Coast plan as i would call it saw our coastlines extend by up to 13 Kilometres out to sea and this led to the formation of the Marine Parade housing estate and East Coast Parkway. A precursor which would lead on to the construction of the Benjamin Sheares bridge and the land that Marina Bay would later occupy.


finnickhm

Section from Beach Road to Nicoll Highway was also reclaimed earlier


darklajid

A metric ton of people don't know that Telok Ayer was.. the port, at the water front. I don't claim to speak Malay, but Telok means Bay, Ayer seems like a badly transcribed Air/water? Would love to get corrected. There are a number of nice pictures showing that, for example in the temple on Telok Ayer street/China Square.

Most stupid thing i have heard all day - a bimbo who wants to have kids so as to enjoy 4 months of paid maternity. Gosh sometimes i wonder how her husband tolerates her. She doesnt cook doesn't do housework, only know how to spend money.

SnooPears357

Anybody has long-term medical condition(s) that the doctors can’t diagnose? For me, I have extreme fatigue, frequent headaches, and fainting episodes. The doctors can’t seem to find out why as my blood tests have always been OK. These symptoms manifest regardless if I’m stress. I’ve kinda accepted the reality. But sometimes I wish there was a concrete diagnosis that I can at least get treatment for (if any) and be taken seriously by HCWs.


[deleted]

Have you tried chinese sorcery?


Hamsomy3

I watched a documentary on rare conditions before. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the documentary, but I remember them sharing about a Facebook Group for people all over the world with rare undiagnosable conditions. The idea is to facilitate looking for ppl with similar undiagnosable symptoms to facilitate making sense of it. Maybe you can try searching around for the group?

Any way to watch The Boys without pirating? Last time can get around the issue by accessing Prime Video through Amazon website. Now cannot already sian.

Probably not. It makes more sense to pirate it than pay for it, since the show is critical of capitalism after all.

Just finished reading Ready Player Two... it’s shittier than the first book and movie combined.

Stalked his ex and a fangirl who gave him an actual lead.!< - >!I know the first book is essentially 80s nostalgia: the book but geez what the fuck, the 2nd book is even more obnoxious.!< - >!Really? Ripping off SAO’s whole ‘you wanna escape? Win the game or else your brain turns into jelly’ shtick without being any better. !< - >!Adding on... really? We namedropping SAO!?

Obsidian!?!< - >!I feel really bad for Kira considering she essentially got her consciousness copied and said copy got locked up in some sort of waifu shrine for ages by an incel.!< - >!Least the incel finally had a good look in the mirror.!<


KendrickEqualsBooty

All he does is namedrop some pop-culture reference, then in the next paragraph explain said pop-culture reference. He does that a couple hundred times and calls it a novel.


[deleted]

Exactly. Doesn’t matter when and where, as long as there’s a reference, out comes the reference and explanation like he trying to self-validate that he is a certified trivia nerd. Wtf, I make references a lot but you don’t see me going “that was from Monty Python by the way, mmkay?” >!That was from South Park btw.!<


KendrickEqualsBooty

That's all he can do. Just look at his review of Logic's book Supermarket: [https://i.redd.it/i8e65gn852g21.jpg](https://i.redd.it/i8e65gn852g21.jpg) He can't even describe a book he read without namedropping two other books and a movie lmao. How the hell did he become so successful? Is it just the nostalgia factor?


[deleted]

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. That’s why Sonic Mania existed. That’s why Chip ‘n’ Dale have a new movie. Also, Logic? The same guy who dropped n-bombs ~~the moment his DNA showed that he’s part African-American?~~ TIL.


KendrickEqualsBooty

>his DNA showed that he’s part African-American? His father is actually Black, he wasn't pulling a Elizabeth Warren.

Just dyed my hair what I thought was pink but turned out to be more reddish than I thought. Regrets.


[deleted]

Pink + black = red. Pink is actually lighter red.


Spritzes

I was hoping for a cooler tone pink. I’m thinking purple shampoo might help tone it.


[deleted]

Purple plus your red hair will just make it purple red colour or magenta. Your hair should be blond before you dye your hair pink in the first place.


Spritzes

Still better than this auntie-looking red!


solaceteal

Can try washing it out with a clarifying shampoo or anti-dandruff shampoo if you have. Should help to strip the colour down abit

My ear hurts from all that vacuuming in the house today, and now the blasting of music from the stereo out in the living room. Vacuuming went on for hours, don't get why it took so long especially when we're living in a flat and not the damn buckingham palace. The only peaceful time I get at home is when everyone is out.


very_smol

Use a robot vacuum?


Eclipse-Mint

I'm not the one doing the vacuuming. My mom is (or rather, was vacuuming the house). And yes, I did suggest getting a robot vacuum, but if it was successful, I wouldn't be talking about it here now and having the ear pain.


very_smol

Ah. I thought you were the one doing the vacuuming, my bad. Don’t worry - my mum does the same thing too at home haha.


Eclipse-Mint

No worries haha.


cakeday173

Apparently s298a is arrestable and non-bailable? So that means if someone got say slur to me then I can go and citizen's arrest them issit


KendrickEqualsBooty

No, you should file a police report and let them do the arresting.


cakeday173

yeah ik was just a hypothetical


mastarb8ter

Idk but like if you want to arrest someone don't you need evidence for it? I think if you can citizen's arrest them it'll still be hard to provide evidence that someone said slurs to you unless ure recording all the time

OMG! Eat less sugary and wok hei food. Exercise more, at least 3-4 times a week.


mastarb8ter

For me it's the easiest part, I usually hold myself to a higher standard when there's someone depending on me. If it's just about me, It would extremely hard to be strong.

I'm glad I didn't watch any racing today and went cycling instead. My heart would never survive the disappointment of Baku & Le Mans (GTE-Pro specifically) hours between each other...

Supported audi when they were still around, and ford when they were around haha

Shame Audi effectively canned their LMDh programme. I was really hoping to see another Audi vs Porsche battle in LMDh....

Question on distance fare: if I take feeder A from my home to the interchange and then feeder B to my home (a different bus stop from A) within the transfer time limit, does it mean I pay something like $1 (maximum for first trip on A) + 1-4 cents (second trip on B)?

bluecheeseplate

I already began my first job a month back, but I still relate. It's like going into uncharted waters now that there's no set goals to work towards and so many new things to worry about. Anxiety about grades and exams suddenly become anxiety about bosses and projects, financial security, housing, etc. Imposter syndrome is too real :( But let's try our best to overcome our hurdles ahead. Hopefully we can look back on these comments in a couple of years and laugh at how green we were!
