The Singapore public sector doesn’t allow people with depression to work for them? o_____________O

No, it doesn’t. Nobody with an invisible disability can. If you so much as see a therapist even, it goes on your record and these are publicly accessible to employers (which allows them to freely discriminate).a fool sees not the same tree |
… WTF. How is that even legal. Yeah OK it’s the public sector, it’s the people that make the rules. But surely there’s some law about patient privacy or discriminatory hiring or something. Some international treaty they’re a signatory to. SOMETHING. It seems so daft, to begin with.
I can’t imagine Malaysia being this finiky - and Malaysia really doesn’t have a great grasp of mental illness - but that’s more because I don’t really trust them with recordkeeping. :P
But still. @_@

Forgot my source: my best friend is a psychologist who currently has a job as a prison rehabilitation worker. She is very familiar with local legal framework for mental health provisions.
In light of this (strong trigger warnings)? Not surprised, really.
