SG ARRIVAL CARD EXCEMPTED FOR LAND TRAVEL

Excempted for Land Travel

Effective from April 15 2022, Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass holders who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will no longer have to fill up the SG Arrival Card when entering Singapore via land checkpoints.

However, travelling entering Singapore via air or sea will still be required to fill up the SG Arrival Card.

The decision to waive the SG Arrival Card requirement via land travel was made as The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) takes into account the traffic volume at both the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints. This waiver will provide immense convenience to eligible travelers, especially those who commute back and forth daily for work or studies.

Non-fully vaccinated Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass holders, along with short-term visitors entering via the land checkpoints, will still be required to fill up the SG Arrival Card before entry or within three days of arriving in Singapore.

LAND TRAVEL SG-MSIA

Everything you need to know before crossing the borders into Malaysia:

From 1 April 2022, fully vaccinated travelers from Singapore can cross the borders into Malaysia without the need to do Covid-19 tests or quarantine.

Important Things Before Leaving For Malaysia

Before you leave for Malaysia, here is a list of things you need to take note of.

  • Passport

A passport validity of at least 6 months from entry date is needed to enter Malaysia.

If your passport has expired, you may renew it online for $70. From 1 October 2021, the validity period of Singapore passports ha been increased to 10 years instead of the usual 5 years.

However, expect a longer processing time as many Singaporeans are also rushing to renew their passports.

  • Ringgit Bills

The current exchange rate at Singapore money changers is about $1 for RM3.10.

While the rates are similar everywhere, there are no guarantee that your favorite money changer in Malaysia is still operating. It is best to exchange your money before you leave Singapore.

  • MySejahtera App

The MySejahtera app is Malaysia’s version of our TraceTogether app. The app is used to aid in contact tracing as well as proof of vaccination.

You need to register and activate your account before crossing the border. You may download the app from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

  • Transport

Travelers may use the Vaccinated Bus Services, private cars and motorcycles to cross the border. For those who would like to walk across the Causeway, it is permitted too.

As of now, there are still no news on the availability of public bus services. Therefore, private transport may be your best option. Furthermore, the KTM Shuttle Tebrau service will be unavailable at least until May 2022.

  • VEP and Touch’n Go

All Singapore vehicles looking to drive into Malaysia is required to obtain a Foreign Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) before they are allowed to enter Malaysia. They will also have to pay a Road Charge of RM20 using their Touch’n Go card.

You may want to make sure your Touch’n Go card is still valid and have sufficient balance before crossing the border so you do not end up holding up the traffic.

Note: All Singapore-registered private vehicles will be exempted from paying toll charges and the Road Charge when entering Malaysia from 1 April to 7 April 2022. This is to facilitate a quicker border crossover for vehicles.

  • Pump your petrol

As exciting as it is to be able to finally pump Malaysian petrol, do keep in mind that all Singapore vehicles are required to have at a fuel tank of minimum three quarters before leaving Singapore.

Although fuel prices are going up, that should not be an excuse to break the law. A motorist not following the rules can be fined up to $500 or prosecuted in court.

  • Covid Testing is Not required

Fully vaccinated travelers crossing thee borders are no longer required to do both pre-departure and on-arrival Covid testing. Children under 12 may travel without needing to show proof of vaccination.

Do note that if you are 60 years and above, you are required to have the third booster shot to be considered fully vaccinated. This applies to the following commonly administered vaccinations: Moderna, Pfizer, Sinopharm, and Sinovac.

  • Travel Insurance is no longer needed

Short term visitors entering Malaysia were required to buy Covid-19 travel insurance. However, in a recent change, from 1 April 2022, all fully vaccinated short-term visitors from Singapore do not need to have COVID-19 travel insurance.

With that being said, you should not neglect your car insurance though. If your current coverage is limited to third-party only, you may want to extend it to third-party fire and theft before crossing the Causeway.

  • Masks are still compulsory in Malaysia

Although wearing masks in outdoor settings is now optional in Singapore, that is not the case in Malaysia. It is still compulsory to have your mask on at all times.

  • Ramadan

The reopening of the borders clashes with Ramadan, which starts on 3 April and ends on 2 May 2022. During this period, Muslims are required to fast from dawn to dusk.

As Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, expect certain FnB businesses to be closed during the first half of the day.

  • SG Arrival Card

Lastly, you MUST complete the SG Arrival Card within 3 days of arriving back in Singapore. This applies to ALL travelers including local Singaporeans, Permanent Residents, and Long-term Pass holders.

You may complete the SG Arrival Card online, or download the official mobile application from the app store.

That completes everything you need to know before crossing the borders into Malaysia.

10 Things you should never say at work 10句你不应该在工作场所说的话

Things Not To Say at Work

“That’s not my job.”
If you’re requested to do something that is out of your job description, it isn’t always because a boss is trying to take advantage of you. Often, it’s because a manager believes you can perform the task. It is, in a sense, a challenge, and if you respond with “it’s not my job,” you’re letting them know that you’re not up to that challenge

“It’s not fair.”
“Life’s not always fair.” In short, get over it. Life isn’t fair. Saying this is not professional behaviour in the workplace and makes you come across as immature. If you are being given more work than your counterparts, think of it as an opportunity to set yourself apart. However, if things are really lopsided and you feel that you are truly being dealt with unfairly, you may need to address it tactfully and have a face- to-face sit down with your boss.

“I’ll Try”
It implies that there is the possibility that whatever management are requesting, may not be done. Instead, use “I will…” and my confidence in you will instantly return. If you think you’re unable to do it within the timeline, say so and present a more realistic option.

“I think that …”
This is a natural way to bring up an opinion for many people, but it’s not a very persuasive way to present ideas. To seem more sure of yourself, replace it with words of conviction: “I believe that,” “I am certain that,” or “I trust that.”

“No Problem”
This seems to be an increasingly common replacement for “You’re welcome.” The thing is, it can give the wrong impression, namely that the person asking for your help has been a bother.  In business and social situations, if you want to be perceived as well-mannered and considerate, respond to thank you’s to, “You’re welcome” or “my pleasure,” and you will come across as being much friendlier.

“I don’t have time to talk right now”
If the phone rings and you’re incapable of talking, don’t take the call! Let your voicemail do its job. Otherwise, it may come across the wrong way. Similarly, if you run into someone at the office and you’re in a hurry, tell them and offer to book a meeting later to discuss whatever is on their mind.

“You’re all dressed up today! Have job interview somewhere?”
When you say this to a co-worker, you’re implying that the other person doesn’t care enough about their current job to dress up for it, they don’t usually dress that nice, or you suspect they’re actually trying to leave the company. What if they actually do have an interview? Awkward.

“How old are you?”
It happens all the time. You learn how old a co-worker is and you just can’t believe it. However, this is a tricky situation. If they are younger than you thought, you’ve just declared that they look older. If they are older than you thought, you’ve hinted at their maturity or experience level.

“It’s all your fault.”
This one is fairly obvious—direct blame never looks good. Lashing out and blaming others not only doesn’t solve the problem at hand, it wrecks business relationships and can seriously hurt your career. Instead, focus on solving the problem and then, when things are quieter, finding out how to prevent it from happening again.

“Are you pregnant?”
Just never ask this question at the workplace AND outside the workplace. If someone is pregnant, it is for them to tell you when and if they choose. By asking this you risk letting the cat out of the bag or, worse yet, being completely wrong. If you are wrong, things get really uncomfortable.

“那不是我的工作“
如果你被要求做超出你的职务描述的事情，那并不总是因为老板试图利用你。那是因为经理相信你可以执行此任务。从某种意义上讲，这是一个挑战，如果你回答“这不是我的工作”，则是让他们知道你没有应对挑战的信心。

“生活总是不公平“
“生活并不总是公平的。”简而言之，克服它。生活不公平。说这样的话不是在工作场所的专业行为，会使您感到不成熟。如果你得到的工作比同事多，请将其视为与众不同的机会。但是，如果事情真的不平衡，并且你觉得自己受到了不公平的对待，那么你可能需要以机智地解决与老板面对面坐下谈。

”我会尝试“
这意味着无论管理部门提出什么要求，都有可能无法完成。取而代之的是使用“我会…”，管理层对你的信心会立即恢复。如果你认为自己无法在限制时间内完成此任务，请说出来并提出一个更现实的选择。

”我觉得“
对于许多人来说，这是一种自然的表达意见的方式，但并不是很有说服力的方式来表达想法。为了更加确定自己，请使用以下信念词：“我相信”，“我确定”或“我相信”。

“没问题”
这似乎正在逐渐取代“不客气”。事实是，它可能给人留下错误的印象，即要求你帮助的人很麻烦。在业务和社交场合中，如果你希望自己被举止得体和体贴，请说“不客气”或“我的荣幸”表示感谢，你会变得更加友好。

“我现在没有时间说话”
如果电话响了并且你无法讲话，请不要接听电话！让你的语音信箱发挥作用。否则，它可能会遇到错误的方式。同样，如果你在办公室遇到某个人并且很忙，请告诉他们确认开会时间并提议稍后再开会讨论他们的想法。

“你今天打扮蛮好看！在某处进行面试？”
当你对同事说这话时，你是在暗示对方对他自己当前的工作不太在意，不常打扮自己，他们通常穿着不太好看，或者你怀疑他们实际上在尝试离开公司。如果他们确实去面试？那你就尴尬了。

你年龄多大了？
这是最时常问的问题。这是一个棘手的情况，你将了解同事的年龄并且简直不敢相信。。如果他们比你想象的要年轻，你只需声明他们看起来有点成熟。如果他们比你想像的年龄大，则表明他们的成熟度或经验水平。

“全都是你的错”
这是很明显地直接责备。批评和指责别人不仅不能解决眼前的问题而且会破坏同事之间的关系，并可能严重损害你的职业生涯。相反，应专注于解决问题，然后在情况安静时，找出如何防止其再次发生的方法。

你怀孕了吗？
只是永远不要在工作场所和工作场所之外问这个问题。如果有人怀孕，他们会自然会选择是否分享与你和何时分享。通过问这个问题，你有可能会泄露秘密，或者更糟的是破坏你们之间的关系。

What is Job References?

During the interview process for any new job, your hiring manager will likely ask for a list of professional references. They want to know more about your past work performance beyond what you include on a resume.
It is important to carefully select relevant job references who are familiar with your work and can attest to your abilities so that hiring managers able to learn about your personality and how you would approach the new position. They want to know you can do the job and whether your work habits are consistent with your interview question responses.
Including job references on a resume can help you stand out against other applicants for the position you’re trying to get.
​
什么是工作参考？

在面试任何新工作的过程中，你的招聘经理可能会要求提供专业工作参考的列表。他们希望了解你过去的工作表现，而不仅仅是履历表中的内容。

在提供工作参考时，你需要仔细选择熟悉你的工作并且可以证明你的能力的相关工作参考，以便招聘经理能够更加了解你的性格以及你将如何担任新职位。他们想知道你是否可以胜任这项工作，以及你的工作习惯是否与面试问题答案相一致。

在履历表中加入良好的工作参考可以帮助你在求职当中上脱颖而出。
