Reuters In January, Malaysian media professional Wong had just marked two years of working in Singapore when she realised she had to leave in 30 days. Her employment pass – covering executive, managerial and specialised roles – was about to expire, and changes to the city state’s foreign labour rules introduced last year meant the 34-year-old no longer earned enough to be eligible for the same pass. Her employer did not want to increase her monthly salary by more than $1,000 – as was required to keep the same type of visa, given Wong’s education and experience – and last October applied for the lower-tier “S pass” instead. But Wong, who asked to be known only by her surname, said the application was still not approved by the time her visa expired on Jan 7.
