I am afraid you are up the creek without the proverbial paddle. The contract that you have posted is in line with MOM rules and regulations to the letter.
Is this your first job? If it is, get used to it. It's the way of the adult world. As long as the terms of the contract for voluntarily ending your contract by either side are given equal terms, then it is NOT in violation of MOM rules. However, if it is a Termination with cause, then they have the right to fire you outright without salary in Lieu, but that has to be able to be proven by them if you contest it at MOM for improper dismissal. Additionally, if they are letting YOU go for cause, they must have a track record of giving you at least one verbal warning and possible 2 written warnings unless it is a serious breach of contract.
But if you want to resign then you need to follow the terms of the contract. At any rate, didn't you read your contract (and understand it) before you signed it? If not, then you have nobody to blame but yourself. I would say you have or will have learned a very important lesson about reading and understanding anything you sign your name to.
My qualifications? I've been the HR & Finance Manager of a medium sized SME (150-225 staff) for a dozen years and a headhunter for a decade before that.
