Singapore is like that if one wants to strive to have good life.
Take me as an example, a few years ago, I need to work on every Sat & Sun. Please take note, every Sat & every Sun.
In the current company, our finance department staffs are again working on many Sat & Sun. Luckily I am not in that department. Also, I have a team of 70 people working for IBM and they are on 24 by 7 support. It doesn't matter it's Sat or Sun, if clients' servers are down, the staffs need to stop playing chess or watching movie and go back to work immediately. (e.g. some projects are for hospital computer servers, servers down may cause patient die)
