The job offer, which involves working eight hours a day, six days a week, originally appeared on TikTok in July 2022 but has since made a comeback, shared again on social media platforms like Facebook on Wednesday (Mar. 22).

The handwritten job offer included details such as “Maximum $3800 a month” and “Meals provided.” The position requires the candidate to be physically fit. The enticing salary for a cleaner job has caught many by surprise, especially given the competitive job market in Singapore.
