In Malaysia you get 60 days paid. I'm American and I work full-time, office environment, and I am so glad that we are going to have our child here and not back in NYC where we used to live. I would have received 4 weeks paid maternity leave and then been able to take the option of an extra unpaid two weeks. The joy. For supposedly being the best country in the world - we do suck, in terms of caring about families.
