Hi,
I am employed by firm in Singapore, working for them as Country
Manager in Pakistan. I am being asked to leave. It seems they dont
have any valid reason (like non performance or any other reason of
work wise) to sack me, but are asking me to leave to save operational
cost in Pakistan. It looks like they will not give me money as
normally companies do when they ask someone to leave.

Here are my questions.
a)I want to know what am i elegiable to get from the company based on
singapore laws, in the contract (which is made in singapore) they
said, they will not pay anything when contract is terminated. But
normally governments has set rules for these situations. I want to
know what is that company leagaly bound to give ?

b) secondly what will i get if i sue them in singapore ? please
provide me lawyers contacts you are famous in this area in singaore
for me to get leagal adivse from them.

thanx

If you work at managerial level, you may not be entitled to any
retrenchment benefit.  I asked a corporate lawayer collegue some times
back.

For ordinary worker, this is what the Ministry of Manpower saied at its web site
http://www.mom.gov.sg/MOM/CDA/0,1858,4258------------,00.html#0

When can an employee be eligible to claim retrenchment benefit?
An employee who has three years' continuous service with the employer
may claim for benefits if he is retrenched. The Act does not stipulate
the quantum of retrenchment benefit to be paid. The quantum is to be
negotiated between the employee and his employer, unless it is
provided for in the contract of service.
