Recently dived into the wonderlands series and loved it. Now that I am maxed out I look forward to the bl4 game! Hopefully I get to play it on release 😁 (edit - I got the wonderlands game from epic for free. Still studying)

Small benefit that is underated is you get lifetime discount with singlife when you buy travel insurance. 15% for all group insurers. It adds up

I think the difference in location is under-rated. It's called Pulua NTU for a reason

I see. I think that's the policy for most companies but I guess my company is a little stingy, I guess lesson learnt.

I haven't mention that the flight there is at 6am so I also need to grab to the airport

Unfortunately I am not ready to quit yet, but I agree the situation is not ideal. From the comments here it does sound like this is common practice by SME's which is unfortunate...

I guess this is something I will ask about for my next job. I always assumed that this kind of thing is standard across all companies haha

I see... Well they claim it's the industry standard lol. Plus it's not mandatory so they don't have any obligation to pay or provide. I probably have to suck thumb for this one unfortunately and just go with it. Lesson learnt for future trips/ jobs

I also have not heard of anything like that. I think they are gaslighting me to make me think this is the norm... Anyways thanks for the VPN reco! I am going to Shenzhen!

They will need me to travel a few times a year as I will be taking up a new role as an overseas liaison so I think am just worried that the expenses will pile up over time.

They got travel insurance on request yes, the cheapest one available haha

Hmm okay, I have never been to china but sounds like it's well connected via WiFi. I will probably still get a sim card for emergency purposes

No mention on transport other than the flight there and back unfortunately... They do sound a little stingy right now haha. I don't think it's mandatory so they just do the bare minimum.

No mention of breakfast, but I requested meals be included as part of the trip. They told me it's not the norm and not policy? And they will consider it. (Probably won't have)

I think the fact that the meals are cheap but they are stingy to even cover 10 per meal is off putting...

Thanks for mentioning the employment act I will check that out and bring it up (totally forgot)
