Of course, naturally, the ministry will say that they found the cause of dismissal were performance and conduct based... but it it TRULY?

71 complaints from pregnant women of unfair dismissal in 2006By Margaret Perry, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 13 February 2007 1806 hrs
SINGAPORE: 71 pregnant women complained to the Ministry of Manpower last year about losing their jobs.
In a written reply to Parliament, Manpower Minister Ng Eng Hen said 36 of these cases have been concluded, 20 were withdrawn by the employees and the rest are pending investigation.
The Manpower Ministry investigated the concluded cases.
33 of the pregnant women received payment from their employers, including six who were retrenched.
But the ministry found that poor performance and misconduct were the grounds for dismissal in the other three cases.
Under the Employment Act, it is an offence to dismiss or terminate the employment of an employee during her maternity leave.
Dismissal on the grounds of pregnancy is also considered unfair dismissal under the Employment Act. - CNA/so -
I don't think the problems only surface in 2006 or pertaining to 2006.
Many years ago, there were also reports in the local newspaper of unlawful dismissal of pregnant female workers.
Funny how the govt begining to tackle such problem when the economy is picking up. Where the need for protection actually demises.
Where is the help when it matters most? at the heart of an economy downturn, when these valnerable pregnant women need help most. -
Yeah... wanna have babies, anyone?? -
just don't understand why they can't legislate against such discrimination in the work place while you get 20yrs for assaulting an mp...goes to show where their priorities are.....self-preservation............

Actually to increase the country pop - very simple. No need to be a math genius. It only needs the govt to put aside morality.
1) Allow for polygamy. At one time, many moons ago, LKY actually said that he regretted legislating monogamy, as it prevents the rich men from having more wives. And, therefore, dispersing more wealth around.
2) We already allow for gambling why not a restricted sexual resort? for married couple or couple above 23?
Instead of so many spa, wellness, relaxation, why not a resort dedicated to procreation for married couple? Or resort for couples above 23 to indulge in moderate sexual activity like watch porn movies?
Some of you may laugh and say this is pure sin but seriously there are medical reports of couple in Sg who don't know how to make baby. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard a medical report of a couple who have been married for many years and thought that baby comes by touching and kissing, and not by physical penatration of the female's birth organ. Sg is that sterile that there are couples who have no idea of the concept of procreation.
3) Have maids from China instead. Sure, sure way of increasing pop. -
