do you think the discrimination towards working and pregnant mothers at work are real in singapore?

Yes, discrimination is real. When I was expecting my 2nd child, there was a fairly new manager who was hired. She was superficially nice to me but tried to get me fired during my maternity leave. She used dirty and sly ways to get me fired and told lies to the senior management. Alas, her attempts failed. I came back from ML and still had my job. But after my ML, each time I took CCL or child sick leave, it would be questioned even if I had valid child MC. She played politics with too many people and many resigned as a result. I eventually resigned, but justice was served too. Shortly after I tendered my resignation, she was asked to leave. Apparently, she had committed a serious act which resulted in immediate dismissal.
