Technically speaking u can. 8 wks is paid by ur employer for maternity benefit and the other 8 wks u can apply from government. But I don't think it's v nice to resign just like that.

Be careful . I believe the notice period is generally up to the employer to accept. Meaning if u say you want to resign they may tell u u can leave immediately. In that case u may lose ur maternity benefits. Maternity protection is when pregnant according to http://www.mom.gov.sg/employment-practices/leave/maternity-leave/protections-and-obligations

For my company , hr policy is that out of the 4 mths maternity, 2 months must be taken at one go, and the other Two must be cleared within a year . Also the other Two months cannot be used to offset notice period

Best to consult your HR as different companies have different policies. If you're in a large organisation, you can probably check on their intranet for their internal policies.

I would consult the HR to be sure. It's hard to say. Be careful of the fine lines in between. All the best!
