Rubbish. Employer reserve the right to fire you even if you use office phone to call your wife and steal a paper clip for personal use, but that doesn't mean they will. We are talking about practical possibilities here, not some esoteric legal definition for an academic case study.
There are so many people downgrading themselves due to over qualification or exaggerating their previous experience slightly, going by this kind of anal definition "lie is a lie" maybe 90% workforce will kena fired for "lying" on CV. We are trying to help TS facing real job seeking challenges with his over qualification and you trying to argue over some super remote legal definition of "lie" here.
So if I have a CPA qualification and choose not to state in my CV or job application, is my employer going to fire me because "a lie is a lie"? Get real please.

You need to start figuring out how to play the office politics game and stop buying useless degrees and masters. Seriously you think only you the only one know how to buy qualifications??? The entire market is flying with Indians and PRCs with PhDs and Masters.
A NUS/NTU honours in Finance will best your masters purchased from some pte uni hands down...

Seriously? I think this is ridiculous! You did not do any research at all about your career, accepted a job offer and then blame your employer for offering you a job. You are behaving like a petuant kid. It is not as if 2.9k is THAT low.
I truly question your capability and attitude. It seems like you are evaluating your job purely based on pay AFTER THE FACT. That does not sound like what a Masters or even Bachelors would do. The only possible explaination is that no one had even heard of your university (despite your claim) and offer you a pay as any distant learning graduate.

Move on, don't look back and lament about the past. More studying would not be my recommended path. Gaining more work experience should be your top priority.
I am only going for my master's now after 11 years of working and only because company is willing to subsidize the course. In all these years, I have not felt disadvantaged because I did not have a master's.
Remember, don't think that paper qualifications entitle you to a higher salary.

employers are always trying to get the best for money employee to do the job.
you cant blame them on trying to lowball you.
neither do they have to plan for your future career path.
i can assure you that with a second masters in finance/mgt it will be equally, if not even harder for you to gain employment.
who would want to pay so highly for someone with 2masters & 1bach for a entry position?

It's too late for you to 'doctor' your CV... The fact is you have now accumulated experience at the poly albeit on a low pay... You'll still be disadvantage by your low pay unless you have skills and credentials which no other candidate has. By the way, omitting your master's degree from your cv is equivalent to lying. If you are ever found out, you'll be fired. And word will spread, that'll jeopardize your other job opportunities. Best to sell your capabilities. Do your research on your job market and move on if you are really not happy with the present.
