Imho it's pretty easy and straight forward to employ people in Singapore (not Singapora). What was your issue?

Our company got screwed by a large hotel chain years ago in Korea. It was the job following one in Thailand where we were paid in full. The Koreans laughed and suggested we try a Korean court, then laughed harder, really honest and trustworthy guys.
