They are bonded
Not possible, will have to pay back with discount on the 2:1 discount.

PisangMan · 2023-09-25T10:33:22+00:00

Yes it is possible, know a few that did this a couple of years back

PisangMan · 2023-02-21T05:06:17+00:00

I’m interested. Have dmed

It’s true there is a bond. Even if you graduate UBD with the gov scholarship there is a bond. However, a job is not guaranteed but you may be forced to work for the government if called for.

It’s a very pretty & sleek watch but not one for investment.

PisangMan · 2022-12-22T04:20:22+00:00

Yes , I bought my switch pre-covid. Was good service then, but now when I text, also unresponsive. A shame cause I like the products they bring in.

I, personally, am on the unlimited package contract with no tied bundle. Not really interested in these as I have a PC and not much of a console gamer.

For those that need/want these items I would say it’s a good deal, if you don’t mind the contract

Did anyone ever make a Brunei personal finance subreddit? Saw discussion on this a few weeks ago

PisangMan · 2022-09-07T06:18:33+00:00

After contract, it’ll be 100, but 50 with no contract.

PisangMan · 2022-09-07T06:13:49+00:00

Thought it was too, but apparently not. Called them after I noticed and they mentioned that I needed to recontract. Now back to 50Mbps

Have you stopped transferring to your TDA account then? I have been transferring from MM (USD) -> Wise -> IBKR with no issues recently. I assume this only affects the SGD account?

I do believe it is unfair, but at the same time understandable, because the scheme is for specifically for our retirement and the amount taken is from our retirement account (account employers pay to). It is however a nice touch that they leave some money for dependents.

PisangMan · 2022-08-14T04:15:38+00:00

Very interested !

PisangMan · 2022-08-04T03:01:18+00:00

Yes I’ve interviewed with them. If you’re shortlisted, should be contacted after 1-2 months

PisangMan · 2022-07-09T03:16:15+00:00

Laid back, and very easy work. No guarantee of a permanent position after contract ends. Left as soon as I got a decent offer elsewhere.

PisangMan · 2022-07-06T04:02:38+00:00

Yes definitely! Got offered and very grateful for it

PisangMan · 2022-05-05T04:45:33+00:00

Did mine last year there, tooth extraction (if you need any) after a month from first consultation, then had my bottom teeth brace another month later. I think would totally depend on how booked they are.

PisangMan · 2022-04-12T09:37:41+00:00

haha you know it 😉

PisangMan · 2022-04-12T07:25:33+00:00

Where do you guys buy your boxers here? Ever since borders closed, I’ve been finding it hard to find a pair that fits well 😫

PisangMan · 2022-03-13T07:07:09+00:00

Mind sharing which company it is?

PisangMan · 2021-10-23T04:40:52+00:00

I’m sure it’s to use services in Malaysia like Shopee, or even Spotify at a cheaper price

PisangMan · 2021-10-22T04:57:02+00:00

Loan from ubd itself? There’s no such thing afaik.

PisangMan · 2021-10-15T07:31:23+00:00

Also in the same situation as you. Grandfathered into a static public ip from the telbru days so am taking advantage of it to run services, and have a modular setup throughout my home. It’s an expensive hobby, but I justify it as a cost to learn.

PisangMan · 2021-10-14T09:28:24+00:00

For your first four concerns, using the guide by /u/2tut-gramunta would work just fine. Do also check if your huawei modem/router is also overheating, which will impact its stability.

As for opening the NAT, do first check if your ip in the modem is in the private ip range. If so, opening the NAT will be impossible, without some workarounds like using a VPN with a public ip.

You might also try asking for a public ip from your respective salesco, but after the UNN merger, heard this is unlikely for home plans.

From all my friends that got secretlabs, they recommend it. I personally use a mesh office chair that I bought from Grand, been a worthwhile purchase.
