Hmm i was always under the impression that work permit holders are not suppose to get pregnant and would be deported once found out. Guess race and nationality makes a difference..PNGMK wrote: ↑Tue, 01 Sep 2020 9:25 amI think he will get approval but it may depend on whether the MOM knows the girl is pregnant. The gahmen is generally in favour of people marrying and having kids within that marriage and a Malaysian Chinese gal fits the race profile perfectly. Now if your friend had impregnated a 40 yo Filipino maid it might be different (don't laugh - I've seen it done).
Of course you need to provide the additional info from the piece:therat wrote: ↑Tue, 01 Sep 2020 1:20 pmhttps://www.asiaone.com/print/News/Late ... 81617.html
SINGAPORE - Human resources executive Q.H. Su, a Singaporean, fell in love with a plumber, a Malaysian, and became pregnant.
As the 26-year-old's fiance, Mr J.M. Lin, 30, was a work permit holder, they applied to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in September for approval to get married.
On Sept 28, the couple received a letter from the ministry rejecting their application.
The reason: Mr Lin had "infringed one of the work permit conditions as (his) relationship with the proposed spouse had resulted in her pregnancy without obtaining marriage approval from the Controller of Work Passes".
The letter said Mr Lin would also be banned from entering Singapore. His work permit was cancelled and he left Singapore on Oct 12.
Maybe gahmen want to see how far you'd go and decide whether this is true loveTropicalExpat wrote: ↑Tue, 01 Sep 2020 1:48 pmOf course you need to provide the additional info from the piece:therat wrote: ↑Tue, 01 Sep 2020 1:20 pmhttps://www.asiaone.com/print/News/Late ... 81617.html

"Fortunately, Miss Su's "three weeks of hell" had a happy ending when her appeal against the rejection was successful.
She had sent an e-mail to MOM, the Prime Minister and her Member of Parliament on Oct 16 asking them to reconsider her case.
In a letter dated Oct 19, MOM said it would approve the couple's marriage application and lift Mr Lin's entry ban.

It IS strict in all cases of WP holder's getting pregnant and surreptitiously trying to hide it or marry .... but you can be proactive by disclosing the relationship and requesting permission to marry.
I see. What about applying for LTVP though? My friend is a student hence never worked before, no income, no cpf, family background not rich either. Is there a chance for his spouse to obtain LTVP? If it adds to his chances, WP is pregnant(though not married yet)
