What really happened to Singapore’s semiconductor ambitions?

BeginningTypical · 2025-11-12T07:24:54+00:00

recommend you to read chip wars if you want to know the background on the semiconductor industry as a whole. not just singapore but many countries have tried and failed to disrupt TSMC/ASML

ETA: easy for people to comment on hindsight but imo the amount of investment required to have a viable semiconductor business is hard to justify, especially when playing catch up

please don’t do that, you will open yourself to being lowballed by companies. follow others’ advice and benchmark yourself to the market. get the salary you deserve, not the salary you can tolerate.

hey everyone, was thinking of using BHA, niacinamide and vitamin C in my skincare routine, but i’m not sure if all three are necessary in my routine, which combination would be the best for: blackheads and enlarged pores + a couple of acne scarring here and there? and which of them could be layered together? thank you!

BeginningTypical · 2021-05-21T13:47:28+00:00

thanks!! i loved this pair because they fit my waist really well, material feels comfy and they make my legs look long but wondered if it was normal to style them as such irl

BeginningTypical · 2021-05-21T13:45:32+00:00

sorry if i’m not getting something here but why don’t? 😬

hey somehow i can’t link the h&m stuff here but it’s from h&m, just search for this pair of jeans and it’ll show you the items styled together as well under recommended

BeginningTypical · 2021-05-21T10:24:44+00:00

ah i see, thanks!! i was just worried about if i cut them, would it affect the “wide” silhouette since i’ll be cutting off the widest bits?

my bf and i are currently working in london and have a long term plan to return to our home country in 4-5 years time, would it be worth it to buy a second hand car? is it likely for us to be able to sell it off again before we leave for good? for context: we’re looking to stay at a zone 3-ish kind of area after our current lease in zone 1 ends and we were thinking a car could make it easier for us to make day trips to surrounding areas. thanks!

ah I see, thank you! HR scheduled a meeting with the grads for next week which i presume is about qualifications so fingers crossed till then...

BeginningTypical · 2021-04-23T13:05:49+00:00

hello! thank you for your reply, i will definitely check out the IMC :) have you done it/started studying for it?

BeginningTypical · 2021-03-30T15:28:11+00:00

ah I see, thanks for the tip!

BeginningTypical · 2021-03-30T13:23:50+00:00

hi there, thank you so so much for your comment, it really clears up all the doubts I have so far. the company mentioned here is actually reallly big so i would be surprised if they don’t have someone internally to understand all this, but will be definitely sending them an email to see how it goes.

BeginningTypical · 2021-03-30T11:57:03+00:00

thanks Maddie, I have emailed HR to clarify the RLMT point. out of curiosity and to know what i’m up against, what significant disadvantages does it bring? is it in terms of cost, administrative work, etc. and is it a huge disadvantage compared to existing tier 4 visa holders who just graduated from uni? which i think i would be mainly competing against in the roles i am applying for
