Which country are you from? Maybe I can help you on this as I work in an employment agency.

So then, how can you make use of these information to say that "philippine people can only work as singer or maid?" you people are still living in your dreams as i only believe in reality, stop giving people FALSE hope cau...

Very surprise that the advises given here are mostly "hear say" "I think" "Maybe". :???: Well, the best is to check it out yourself. :roll: Call up MOM, ICA, CPF Board, HBD or whatever department that you think should be able to help you. They even online now. :P Don't totally believe what you read ...

It better not to work. Check up with ICA, they can advise you. But it a real hassle for a company to hire a DP, unless it a MNC or big company. The company need to make several trips to ICA & MOM. No jokes!

Singapore government is very protective of the local workforce especailly the work permit part. I would suggest you call up Ministry Of Manpower (if you can manage to talk to anyone there ) before you come Singapore.

:shock: A friend of mine have the same situation as you. His girlfriend is a Fillipino. She has a cert in Hotel Hospitality from a government school in Singapore. To do her a favour, I called up Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to check out what job she can work as in Singapore. I was shocked to hear that...
