Malapit kasi office ko dun at lagi kong nakikita yung exchange rate.
Lagi din mahaba ang pila, lalo na mga nagpapalit ng MYR.
Minsan din ok din ang rate ng POSB/DBS, not sure kung pwede bumili ng AUD sa kanila.
Not sure kung meron pang ibang maganda ang exchange rate.

plan namin mag move sa Au by end of March. before we do that, plan namin mag-open ng bank account. Gusto ko lang malaman if taxable yun i-transfer namin money during tax filing (assuming wala pa kaming work)?
Iniisip kasi namin kung iwan muna namin dito sa SG or i-xfer na lahat.
Sensya sa tanung but hopefully may sumagot.
Salamat po!
