One guy from my batch NTU computer engineering got a 10k SGD job at Micro$oft after he emerged champion of the Google coding competition a few years back. It was all over the news at that time. I am certain, and know of, some companies that are willing to pay 5 figure salaries for real talent even if you are a fresh grad.

Of course, there are some uni like SMU who are advertising that some of their fresh grads earn 5 figure, but I know that at least 2 of them got that job because their immediate family member is holding a high position in the company that hired them.
