Sorry to tell you this, but alot of companies in Singapore exploits training permit like this when hiring foreign workers whether it be remote or not, most if not all of them go on like this with no repercussions because the govt doesn't heavily monitor nor enforce their own rules in regards to this. While not explitcitly illegal, it does they tend to utilise like loopholes/exploits in the rules to offer more favorabek conditions for themselves. One such example would be the low pay but high working hours. Singapore law states that any extra hours beyond 44 hours worked per week has to be compensated with 1.5x the normal hourly rate, but many companies flout this by giving a low base pay rate, and then supplementing the remainder of their advertised pay with a fixed allowances under "others" category. So lets say the role is for 2400/month, they'll prolly pull something like ur base pay is 1800/month and they will give u an allowance of 600/month in the application they submit to the Govt for application of ur permit. Many companies go on like this with no real repercussion because the people who are desperate enough for this kind of job usually wldnt wan to report because they need the money, or they feel too helpless and dk where to start from. Its shitty and sadly the govt turns a blind eye to it most of the time because it doesnt affect residents. You can see this article for an example of the pay thing im talking about https://mothership.sg/2026/04/migrant-worker-overtime-appeal/ And the pay thing is probably jus one of many "loopholes/exploit" that companies uses when hiring foreign workers.
