Brothel press is at it again. See their report - http://www.straitstimes.com/singapo...0000-for-housing-more-workers-than-allowed-in

They failed to disclose which TISG disclosed. Ex Minister of State Sidek Saniff is the Chairman of the company and the CEO Jaleel was a long standing CCC member of Eunos who had a long running tax evasion case that never made it to court. He is well known leader of the Indian Muslim Community.

If this company was run by Low Thia Khiang, Chiam See Ting or even the uncle or aunty three times removed, the Brothel press will reveal including using infographics to show which village from China they came from and the ship journey to Singapore.

Disgraceful conduct and clear exploitation of poor foreign workers by PAP members. Yes, they are still PAP members. This guy gave $500K to Straits Times School Pocket Fund in 2013 as supposed "penalty" for the tax evasion issue.

ST reported that a dormitory operator, KT Mesdorm, was fined $300,000 on Tuesday (May 31) for housing foreign workers in an overcrowded dormitory (http://www.straitstimes.com/singapo...0000-for-housing-more-workers-than-allowed-in).

It was convicted of intentionally helping three companies to house their foreign workers in an overcrowded dormitory, which it operates.

“By intentionally taking in more residents than permitted, KT Mesdorm had caused the infrastructure and amenities in the dormitory to be over-taxed, resulting in overcrowded, unsanitary and unhygienic living conditions,” MOM said.

KT Mesdorm’s dormitory has housed 500 foreign workers more than the permitted limit.

“This is a serious breach as overcrowding compromises fire safety and conditions of living,” MOM added.

KT Mesdorm comes under MES Group headed by PAP-linked people

However, what ST failed to report was that the dormitory operator, KT Mesdorm, comes under the MES Group. And according to information on the company website (http://www.mesgroup.com.sg/about_mesgroup.htm) MES Group is headed by a former PAP Minister, as well as a grassroots leader.

It said, “The MES Group is a diversified business group with its principle business in designing, constructing and managing off-site residential facilities for guest-workers in industries. Its other diverse portfolios include, trading, property development, warehousing and transportation, and recruitment services for specific industries.”

It said that it is a leader in the management of guest-workforce residential facilities and has “earned the reputation of setting the industry benchmark, both in Singapore and abroad”.

“MES is committed to being a worthy corporate citizen by giving back to the communities where it conducts its businesses and is a prominent patron of the arts, culture, education, charities and humanitarian causes,” it added, even though it was willing to cram large number of foreign workers into its dormitory illegally to maximize profits.

The chairman of MES Group is Mr Sidek Saniff, a former PAP Senior Minister of State for Education and Environment.

The CEO is Mr Mohamed Abdul Jaleel. He is a PAP grassroots leader.

On the website, it stated (http://www.mesgroup.com.sg/founder_and_ceo.htm):

“He (Mohamed Abdul Jaleel) is also concurrently active member, advisor and/or patron of a number of community organizations and business associations. Despite his commitments and busy schedules he continues to set aside time for charitable endeavours, humanitarian causes, educational development of children, and cultural and cross cultural engagement. His generosity and sincerity has endeared him to many and he remains a beacon of inspiration for many in business and in life.”

He was conferred a PBM in 2005 for his grassroots service.

It makes me wonder how both Messrs Sidek Saniff and Mohamed Abdul Jaleel could have observed Ramadan and attended mosque prayers during the time they ill-treated the poor foreign workers.

I won't be surprised if they kept repeating "Allahu Akbar" as they profited from exploiting them.

"he remains a beacon of inspiration for many in business and in life.”

Yes, a BEACON of inspiration to all of use, that you are MEMBER you will be well looked after....I was wondering too, how could they register more than 500 workers on that dormitory address, if this was another dormitory, you can bet, that MOM will block the address in their database & you cannot register even 1 worker...don't believe, you ask any contractor...

That is why....they ask you "member"?..." PASSION"??....

Jaleel is known as the dormitory king having been the pioneer in this field. He has rung rings around MOM, IRAS etc and they are scared of him. He used have a former senior Police Officer to run his business in the early years.

The raid was in July 2015 and the next month, both Sidek Saniff and Jaleel were honoured during the National Day awards by the President. Sidek Saniff received the Distinguished Service Order and Jaleel the PBM. See the photographs of the workers dormitory in the Straits Times, it absolutely filthy and cockroaches all over.

Why are these people even allowed to "serve the pubic" when they exploit poor workers to such and extent and deliberately break the laws.

They must have registered the address of the worker at other address.

Could not be, MOM since 2007 are very strict on where you house your worker before they issue or even renew your worker's work permit. Forgot the section they will quote to INFORM YOU. Once they enter the address you give in their on-line system, it will alert them of the address is banned or the dormitory is over-capacity; maybe "members" dormitories they "close one eye" or "blind to see".

Furthermore, if you lease the land from JTC or? to build the dormitory (ies) they are very strict in inspecting the dormitory (ies), you have to furnish daily returns on the maintenance etc, who house their workers there, & total number of workers is being housed in the dormitory daily. JTC or BCA, will inspect the dormitory (ies) on a very regular basis. Plus NEA, SCDF will do their regular inspection & ICA too, add Singapore Customs, NParks etc...

How could all these "missed" the "mark"?....if we are talking pre-2007, then, what to do?....contractors can register HDB addresses, Geylang addresses etc.. but this is 2015..2016??? The first line of restriction would be MOM....you try, applying for WP for your worker, key in the address , if they had banned or restricted the address key-in.....see what the result will turn up? Must check up the section of the rule book, they have violated.....must dig up the manual...

Maybe this dormitory..have "privileges"..."members have privileges"....are you a MEMBER yet? do you have PASSION?:p

Interesting, not aware they were that strict. Begs the question how these guys breached the rules and the controls.

Can one link "guan xi" with corruption...no right?, as long as there are no proven MONEY passed through the hands....exploiting the workers, is hard to proof....isn't this another form of "modern day slavery"?? anyway on the other side of the coin, those workers house there, don't complain for however filthy, or unhygienic the dormitory is...it is still "heave on earth" compared to Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines....& Malaysia...that is why, they will not complain...in this day & age, many of these workers have wifi...computer laptops, electronic tablets. etc..they can jolly well! go on line....log on to www.mom.gov.sg & make a formal complain about the housing facilities & they can even call MOM on the helpline...

So, you figure this out...why they don't do that?

From 2007....& the years thereof....they are extremely strict....how they circumvent the system....that, you would have to be a "mole" to find out....it is like following a termite trail to the "queen"..have you ever done this before?....bet, you have not!.....that is an illustration for you...can't draw a picture to show you..

Agree. The PAP has looked after this CEO guy for too long. He is the nominal leader of the Indian Muslim committee and is also the head of the Bencoolen Mosque. They need the community vote. He is a multi millionaire now. Also from the property and building trade like most CCC members.

The Malay-muslim community knows about this guy and his long standing tax investigation. It went on for years. His PBM was delayed for years because of this.

Imagine a company who annual revenue runs into $100m hiding its websites.

The white scums had already taken down both websites:

(http://www.mesgroup.com.sg/about_mesgroup.htm)
(http://www.mesgroup.com.sg/founder_and_ceo.htm)


This shows they are scared of being exposed further.

They have the balls to register more then 500 workers overcrowded in the dorm because they are counting on Sidek Saniff and his PAP connections to get them out of any trouble.

You talk all this and you still don't understand it?

Why do you think the PAP is wanting to up the population to 6.9 million and then to 10 million? All the connected MIW and PAP cronies are making money from it. The govt is making billions a year from all the levies they charge for S pass, and work permit holders. Cronies like Sidek are making millions from the business of housing these FTs. Other PAP elites are making millions from feeding them, or running agencies that bring them in. Shit, even the PAP elite owning a few luxury condos have seen their rental income go up from all the high end expats coming in. Sinkies in HDB flats cannot bring them this sort of income. Why should they bother?
