Not recommended to join the company as well, as I've had an experience with a friend who got fired, and was asked to pay a month's salary back to the company. The background is that the employment contract to the new employee (usually to someone coming to work in Singapore for the first time) is a 1 year bond with MCI. The contract states that if you leave the company voluntarily/ being dismissed due to poor performance, you will have to pay 1 month's salary back to the company. And as you know, naive recruits being naive, signed the contract without looking ahead. The weird thing is, there has been numerous cases whereby the new recruits got fired just 2-3 weeks near to their 1 year mark. I'm not sure if it's a way of maintain the business, but that's just messed up treating your recruits like that.
