Goldfish: I was also hoping for another month of maternity leave. But don't have. Actually in Asia, Singapore's ML is already the highest I think. You know, as an employer (I'm not one lah), having too many baby producing-age female is really quite headache - once pregnant, the person will be away for def 3 mths maternity when she delivers; but before that, sure will take lots of leave, esp in the first trimester, like a lot of us here. *sighz*
