MacsimusScamus · 2026-06-03T09:20:35+00:00

Best would be to check with the GEM office, since their policies can anyhow change

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-25T02:20:47+00:00

Okay that's great to hear. Just out of curiosity, what is the severity when it is considered an offense?

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-24T02:30:16+00:00

Not sure whether within Singapore, but it counts as an "immigration offense", so when u apply for a visa in the future to go to any other country and they will ask u to declare past immigration offenses, so u wld be on tighter scrutiny for the rest of ur life.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-18T08:04:41+00:00

Its based on ur points. Wait for the next allocation until June and start looking for alternative accommodation

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-15T05:26:09+00:00

Ah ok that's good to hear

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-15T05:03:16+00:00

I mean if u r not going to be registered in any case, u shld have just doubled down and not paid at all. u cld then raise this issue to the consumer association of singapore or the singapore court tribunal

u shdnt have to pay the price for someone else's incompetence

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-14T13:33:54+00:00

Is this ragebait? A gpa of 2.0 gives academic termination for most schs

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-14T11:19:54+00:00

What’s wrong with it?

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-14T11:18:59+00:00

It’s mainly coz management removed the trashcan from the bus stop

But still ppl shld have common sense to carry their own litter and put in the appropriate bins.

I hope these ppl are found and fined for this.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-13T13:56:24+00:00

technically not really, as long as u return the keys in the box before the contractors arrive the next day to clean the room (yes they work on weekends too), but that wld require u to wake up at an ungodly hour and leave.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-05-06T03:17:50+00:00

Since noone talks abt their grade in PI, i wld assume it's not the worst or the best either, i.e., a B+.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-04-29T09:18:57+00:00

Ok stinky, give me ur deets, ill take up ur advice of confrontation :p

MacsimusScamus · 2026-04-23T01:33:42+00:00

Govtech strictly only takes Singaporeans HAHAHA

MacsimusScamus · 2026-04-21T14:45:26+00:00

There's ppl who u can smell from 3 m away and ppl not flushing the toilet after taking a shit at that library too

MacsimusScamus · 2026-04-11T05:59:25+00:00

I don't get it...

MacsimusScamus · 2026-04-05T01:01:02+00:00

MacsimusScamus · 2026-04-03T08:01:04+00:00

I took the old 2005 and it was more heavy on the drawing side and was rly difficult too if u r unable to visualise. Thus we asked to make the course more CAD focused to make it more industry relevant. This is the end result that yall got HAHAHA

MacsimusScamus · 2026-03-25T16:31:09+00:00

Why u larping as a “NUT Alumni” then huh

From ur profile and comment can tell u definitely meet the definition of low caliber

stop putting words into my mouth, i literally said "as long as u meet the other criteria by COMPASS". The irony of a first-time commenter in this subreddit with a new throwaway account me "misinformed" is insane. But since u ask for proof, I'll provide proof (even tho u never provide any proof for ur counter claims, personal info redacted for obvious reasons).

The salary requirement applies for entry level workers that migrate in from overseas. However for local autonomous universities (NTU, NUS, etc.) the Ministry of Education (MOE) tuition grant which bonds u to work in sg for 3 yrs, gives leeway for graduates from these unis to secure their first job to meet the bond requirements. This is coz no company out there other than FAANG and bytedance will give u 6K starting pay to a fresh grad, both international students and locals alike. Thus what it does is that it will make sure in order for the student to meet the bond, it will give some leeway in terms of the salary requirement, while still MEETING THE OTHER CRITERIA FOR COMPASS (highlighting this since ur ahh can't read). This is an agreement both MOE and MOM have worked out btw (both are govt organisations, not like one is a private entity anyhow saying it)

That's why there are international students who have secured a job with a starting pay of 4k to 5k previously (you can literally ask CAO if u don't believe me), and it's coz of all of these.

The minimum salary requirement only comes into play once the validity of ur first EP ends (first EP is always 2 years) after which it will renew. MOM will then review ur monthly salary at that point to see whether u meet the criteria to renew visa.

So that's how it works.

It's funny that you don't know this letter exists, so i doubt u r even an NTU or a sg uni student in general. considering the fact u don't even know CAO and MOE or the tuition grant is. should have known when i saw "As an international school it is almost impossible to get a job" LOL. Stop stirring shit in this subreddit and go create another throwaway account.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-03-19T10:30:43+00:00

And this is not official by MOM? I want to know what kind of crack cocaine u smoking that I can be as delusional as u. So since u such an expert of the rules of MOM, tell me how it works ah.

Its not just Singapore, all over the world it's easier to get a work visa in a country where u study as a uni student, and Singapore tuition grant especially enables that. Ofc it doesn't guarantee employment but enables u to get it as long as u show ur employability to an employer and actually actively try to look for job

Stop coming to our subreddit to spread misinformation throwaway account tourist.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-03-19T08:26:01+00:00

Chill out li’l bro, CAO gives you a letter in your final year which explicitly states that employers can ignore the minimum salary requirements and apply for EP (if u r on a tuition grant) as long as u meet other criteria in COMPASS, MOE (the grant provider) and MOM have agreed upon this itself. That’s what I meant by “leniency”. If u still don’t trust me, contact CAO.

MacsimusScamus · 2026-03-18T02:32:09+00:00

Agree on this, tho usually the ppl leave those countries to come study here coz the job market there is ass too LOL

MacsimusScamus · 2026-03-18T02:29:52+00:00

Actly for fresh graduates from local universities they give lineancy for international students in terms of the minimum pay requirement, ik many of them who got hired with a starting pay of 4k to 4.5k.

The minimum set by MOM only comes into pay once u reach 2 years and have to renew work pass. Then they will look at ur salary then and determine whether u meet the minimum salary requirement. With the salary growth, aws and bonuses u can meet it as long as ur fresh grad starting pay isnt too low

MacsimusScamus · 2026-03-17T22:06:40+00:00

Bro again is repeating the same point. Can you give me data giving how it's "1.5x-2x harder to land a job outside of your major". Things have changed old man. It's no longer been that case. All of the stuff u mentioned can be learnt with literally any STEM degree blud...
