kEy03

Ernest

then maybe Asia Cafe in Subang Jaya SS15 will be nice since there's alot of choices for food.

optperson

What every one says about Asia Cafe.. Kindly suggest I want to make sure every body can reach to that place easily.

I would also mention here as half of us are expats so It might be difficult to any one of us to reach there. I have never been to subang jaya before.

Kindly suggest.

Regards,

Sidd

Dear Ernest,

i am a christian guy in Pakistan very happy to see your profile as christian in Malaysia,
dear i am MBA in finance and have experience of :)Metro Cash & carry experience of checkout supervisor(cash) and want to move Malaysia. i want some information from u urgently,

i have applied through agent a work permit,he gave me following information:

work permit duration 3 years
salary package  850 to 1000 rengerd
factory work as packing worker
visa cost  200,000 pak rupees in Malaysian currency 7,692

please guide me can i change my company after reaching in Malaysia ,what is job market situation in Malaysia.

what you suggest for me.
regards
maqbool

Ernest

Hi Magbool,

salary within 850-1000 is consider quite low, unless you are prepared for it or you already have back up to start off here then it should be fine.

Yes, you'll be able to change job as long as you have the working permit with you. I can say there's plenty of job opportunities in Malaysia.

Regards,
Ernest

FYI, employment pass are only delivered to expats earning a monthly income of not less than MYR 5,000.

Also, if you plan on changing job once in Malaysia, you will need the approval from your work permit sponsor. This means the immigration will ask for a reference letter from your previous employer stipulating that they allow you to seek a new opportunity here. If you don't have this letter, then you have to go through a six month waiting period before applying for a new work visa.

optperson

Dear Maqbool,

I advise you. please do not follow agents this is very cheap job and I know these agents who just play with person's feelings and enjoy there money. The visa he is offering you it cost 3000rm to 4000rm. so please back off visit here and look for job.. u r MBA there are so many retail chains like Jusco, tesco, carrefour ETC... for more information please email me ..

I am from Pakistan and Expat here.

Thanks,
Sidd

Ernest

How about this Saturday night?  That's my vote. :)

A dozen people is a lot already to get a gathering going.  anymore and you might have trouble finding tables or a place to fit everyone, especially on a weekend. 

So where is it going to be?  I should be free this saturday night.

tatie

if it's far and in the evening I can't go I don't have a car. I have to come back home. But I think u should do it now, if the majory agree make it happen.

lenny m nijman

hi everybody

if possible i can join also.


thanks
lenny

optperson

Guys... we better plan it next week on friday or saturday. Please hurry up and confirm your participation.

Rice_Owl84

Set the details of when and where first.  Otherwise nothing will get started.

Like Saturday Night 7.00pm at Ming Tien, Taman Megah.  Might not be convinient for everyone but you'll never know until one is made.  Maybe a mall would also be easier.  Maybe everyone is in downtown KL so like the Pavillion Mall food court would be a great place for the gathering.  I reccomend food courts because everyone has different taste buds or have diet issues and can have a choice. 

If we find that everyone likes to spend a bit more on food then dinners at hotels can be planned later.

kEy03

i am ok on this friday nite....pavillion it's oK.

have anyone thought of Tenji or Jogoya japanese buffet restaurant? It is quite expensive but it is a very luxury buffet restaurant (only if everyone have enough budget :D)
and i would suggest shopping mall would be better or bar as it is more comfortable.
