Hi guys,
Need some help. Do u know wt pre employment med checkup includes in sg employers. Been in sg for two years and had a chance to find new employer. But wen MOM approvedd my spass. It says that medical is not applicable. I think maybe my current companys hiv and tb test is still valid which is necessary for spass.
But after my spass approved, I found out that I am Preggy .Thats y I wanna know if this pre employment conducted by employer includes pt. Even though the company allows spss to get pregnant I still dunno whether they will cancel my pass or wt .. I need some adv. Ty so much

Shouldn't be an issue unless your company has something against pregnant women.

Bet you don't last through probation if they find out/know you are pregnant if it's a local company/SME

Actually pre-employment medical check required by MOM only covers HIV and TB, aside from general items. The only time you need to declare you are pregnant is when you're supposed to undergo X-ray for TB when you are so.
So the question is not whether MOM is fine about you being pregnant, it is your employer.
On similar situation, my former company hired someone but he did not disclose that he was going into reservist two weeks after his hiring date. After he was hired, and one week before he was due for reservist, he then informed his supervisor about reservist and he was summarily dismissed for not being truthful during interview stage. I'm not sure if this one has legal implications.

If you have been approved on an S pass, I hope your quoted salary is above $4K as you will not be allowed to have any dependents here while on an S pass if your income is less than that. This means your newborn child will not be able to stay with you in Singapore and will have to be taken back and left in your country of origin, provided the employer doesn't release you before your probation is up for getting pregnant. (They don't like having to pay for several months off, especially for a brand new employee.) I don't have a good feeling about this, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Passes for family members
S Pass applicants whose fixed monthly salary is at least $4,000 a month may apply for the Dependant's Pass (DP) for their family members. The DP application and supporting documents may be submitted together with the S Pass application or separately.
S Pass holders who earn less than $4,000 per month are not allowed to bring in their dependants, i.e. spouses (legally married) and children.

some companies do full screening .... including pregnancy...
as to what the company will do, well, we wouldn't know
but termination due to pregnancy is against the law but if your employer is an SME, they can find a hundred ways ....

If her husband is in Singapore on EP, that shouldn't be a problem, no?

She hasn't mentioned her husband, if she has one, if he's in Singapore or if he is working. So, I'm assuming a worst case scenario. Not unheard of.....
