This is an interesting news for TR to comment about the irresponsible and traitorous PAP's Department Ministry Of Manpower (MOM) which should be charge in court for treason (for siding with a foreign crook)...

Blacklisting companies shouldn't be so easy
WE SACKED an employee who was an S-Pass holder after she was caught stealing money from our shop. Subsequently, the Ministry of Manpower notified our company that it was under investigation for a possible breach of the Employment Act, as the sacked employee had filed a complaint against us.
We met the investigating officer and furnished the information required. But subsequent attempts to contact that officer again were unsuccessful and there was no follow-up.
On Oct 1, while processing the renewal of an S-Pass for another worker, we were told that our company had been blacklisted, the officer involved in our case had resigned and that there was no replacement yet.
In the meantime, the worker seeking a renewal of her pass had to leave the country, pending the resolution of the previous case and the appeal on the renewal.
On Oct 7, we wrote again to the ministry, asking for a clear and early resolution of the case, as well as to find out who we could liaise with on the matter.
We are still waiting.
It is surprising how easily a company can get blacklisted because of a complaint from an errant worker. The ministry has also been unsympathetic and unhelpful.
Shouldn't there be a quicker way to resolve such problems?
