Pregnant woman wants $1,600 2 months job?

Just watched a documentary from mediaCorp about a young Singaporean couple who are facing financial problem. They bought a 4-rooms flat, a car and hired a maid. Before the woman was pregnant and out of job, the combined income of the couple was 3k+.



The woman cried in front of TV, saying that no one wanted to hire her because of her pregnancy. Then it is very miserable that they have to hire the maid while they are now only depending on her husband's 2K+ (before CPF deduction) salary to maintain the car (1K+ a month) and the maid.

Then the TV host arranged a job interview for the woman in a travel agency. Knowing that she is to deliver in 2 months time, the employer offers $800 a month job to the woman. But the woman rejected the job because she wanted a $1,600 pay-check.

Is this really a reality documentary or a comedy? Couldn't stop laughing when watching this show. Thanks for the good work, MediaCorp!
