Was quite shocked to read that such a discriminatory policy was there in the first place, and that the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in Singapore appears to have been complicit with it - any other commercial entity with such a policy would have never gotten away with it as it is in breach of the law. More surprisingly, at least 2 members of the Board of Directors of SIA are women and they appear to have done nothing to have such an archaic practice repealed!
Yeah the whole no-pay leave whilst pregnant and the forced to resign policy after you give birth is just bonkers. I am glad they are moving with the times. But it looks more like they are short of manpower which motivated this shift. I agree the old policy sounds illegal given SG anti-discriminatory laws. Completely unacceptable and long overdue change (pardon the pun).
