I was rejected 4 times by MOM.....

[maimai]

I went feb this year to Sg to find a job and fortunately i immediately find a job but was rejected by the MOM, my employer said it was because they dont have enough quota for foreign hire. I fund another job for the second time but got another rejection from the MOM with no specified reason but my employer assured that it is not because of lack of quota. the same thing happened to my 3rd and 4th employer. I wanted to know if there is still a chance for me to find a job in sg and have my pass approve maybe by next year 2012? Is there any other options that i could take to get a job at sg?   

[seriously]

Why would you want to come to Singapore?? It's too expensive, too crowded and most of us can't wait to leave.

Find a nicer job near your home town and live your life happily.

to live life is a matter of choice. i wanted to exhause every possible means to what ive wanted so that in the end i would not have any regret because i did my best...

How can anyone on this board possibly answer your question without knowing anything about you, your qualifications, your industry, your experience, etc.

Having said that - 4 rejections is pretty consistent.  Not looking good, obviously.

Hear hear. I am literally counting down the days.

[how many?]

Where are you at in the countdown?  I'm sure there'll be a massive cheer around the island as your plane takes off.

[Mr A]

Sadly several months to go still. I'm sure there will be massive cheers when the locals I was responsible for can go back to taking unlimited MC, eating fish at their desks at 9am, wasting hours and hours of productive time and generally re-adopt all the negative habits that required me (and 10s of thousands like me)  to be here in the first place. Very bizarre place. Like many others I wil be very glad to leave.

[interesting indeed]

While I am pretty sure you won't miss Singapore, my guess is Singapore will not miss you either. Life continues here and you are just one of the many dispensable "talent" who come and go. If you are indeed leaving, I can only feel happy for you. It's another story however if you choose to come back here with your usual tasteless posts.

Eating fish at 9am? Really? They do? Now, that's something new to me. You sure have many interesting stories to tell. I wonder if your colleagues have the same to say about you... Just imagaine that.

Why don't you tell us which industry you are in? I am dead curious to know...

Yes, nasi lemak is an occasional breakfast food enjoyed in the cubicles here too.  Sometimes prata also.  But a greasy mess of bee hoon in wax paper is the #1 choice of staff in my office for their breakfast which, of course, they couldn't possibly eat at home before they come to work like I do.

Exactly! Always amuses me when they eat it shops in front of customers as well. Bits of ikan billis and tofu stuck between badly placed teeth while trying to sell you a mobile phone in broken english.

While I will not be sad to leave, you have to laugh at it all.

This may come as a shock, but I really don't care. I was here to do a job because 4 million locals were unable, not to win a popularity contest with locals who's personal opinions I don't care for in the slightest. I've never understood why people here are so petty and take everything so personally. Such a village mentality...

[too ture]

Thats a really valid point. I have also noticed how petty and childish the locals are here. Really baffling behavior sometimes. Like children in adults bodies.

Guess thats why we're all here.

hmm...I am not sure if it's misplaced humour or cultural insensitivity?
So where are you heading? Back to Isle of Man or somewhere else?

I can visualize you mocking the people you are going and sadly this cycle continues all over again...

To each his own I guess.

[Mr A]

Its called an 'accurate observation'.

Something the small minded fish heads seem to have trouble accepting.

Could please both of you stop that... i wonder how old are both of you...
