You get other perks by being a foreigner working in Singapore, I'd imagine (I'm guessing you don't pay into CPF, for example, though I could be wrong). At any rate, if it's the government's rule, I don't see why you're whinging about your boss. And if it's the Government of Singapore's rule, I can't see how you expect the situation to change.

By law, I must receive a minimum amount every month. Because of recession, boss has cut everyone's pay, I told him it falls below my minimum required. So he said he will use my bonus to pay off the difference for whatever number of months. But the way it works out, is that it's only written on paper that I receive the minimum, in the hand, I still get the same as everyone else (the cut), the only difference is, I don't get the bonus.

So you see, I have been cheated out of it. It's bullshit.
