Would my future employers know if I ever filed for a bankruptcy in the past?

I just got discharged from bankruptcy and I am looking for a job. It's been several months since I started looking for a job and I still haven't found one. I did not disclose any information about being bankrupt in the past but I am afraid that my future employers would be able to find out. Is it possible for them to find out if I filed a bankruptcy in the past?

    No Name

    It;'s better to just tell your future employers about your status if it is asked because they would appreciate the honesty. Once you file for bankruptcy, your name would be listed in Singapore's bankruptcy register and this register can be freely searched by the general public, with the payment of a fee so it would be better if you were honest about it rather than lie about it cause they will find out if they want to. Another thing is that you would still be able to work as normal even after you are declared bankrupt.

The range of partner merchants isn’t that extensive

If you’re a serial Grab commuter, you might already have used GrabPay.They also have a number of partner merchants who accept payment using the GrabPay app.You have to top up your GrabPay account in order to use it anyway and honestly, the range of partner merchants isn’t that great and is mostly limited to small neighbourhood businesses. If you’re serious about using an e-wallet for most of your transactions, you will definitely need to download another e-wallet app for day-to-day use.

No refunding from wallet if there is an error in the process of toping up an amount

This platform provides zero flexibility of refunding from wallet if there is an error in the process of toping up the amount. Been told by Customer service that the only way is to terminate the account and the refund will be credited after 2 weeks. The UI as well have to be clear at the home screen on which default payment mode are we on as I've been told that the payment mode might switch every time after updating the app
