At least you guys in the USA/Australia have unemployment benefits and minimum wage.

Over here in Singapore, there is no unemployment benefit.
You get paid $4.50 SGD per hour if you work at McDonalds.

A fresh graduate would be considered lucky if he/she gets a job in a bank and is paid $2000 SGD and works 12 hours or more a day.



If you're jobless, there is no unemployment benefit. If you're ill and you have no money to pay the hospital, you're f*cked.

Wow! I guess that would be difficult (to give out benefits) since it's such a small country and you guys might not make enough money?
