Question

Why do you need a certificate of employment from ministry of manpower in Singapore?

Answer 1

That is a proof that you are under employment.

Also......

Well, sad to say that our gov like to have full control.

Expressway, work and even baby............

Beside that, the amount of money collected (levy) every month is huge.

Imagine, you people work like h**l to earn that few hundred dollars a month.

And yet, those ppl just sit there and collect thousands or millions of dollars from your levy.

Answer 2

In order to prevent illegal immigrant to flood into the city state to seek employment, the government had to put a brake to these in order to balance the job market to ensure that jobs are available to our citizen.  There are merely 3 types of permit such as Work Permit,S-Pass, Employment Pass.  These roughly translate into domestic, educated, & proffessional, for more details log on into mom.gov.sg. These does not exit only in our city state but are pratice all around the world.
