SINGAPORE - The two people caught for collecting waste oil from grease traps in Jurong will be charged by the National Environment Agency (NEA).

An NEA spokesman said they will press charges against the pair for three cases of illegal cleaning of grease traps last month.

For collecting waste oil from grease traps without a proper licence, offenders can be fined up to $2,000.

After investigations, NEA found that they were collecting waste oil illegally to be processed into biodiesel.

The two - Madam Valerie Sim, 50, and Mr Ng Cheng Hock, 48 - were questioned over their activities by NEA officers on Monday.

But in an interview with The New Paper on Tuesday, the pair claim that they have been working for Sky-Land (Oils & Fats), a general waste collector licensed by NEA, for the past six months.

The company's director, who declined to be named, however, said that the two were not his employees but were freelancers.

He said that the company had only bought waste oil from the pair and did not pay them a salary.

"I met them a few times only. They collected the oil themselves and we just buy it from them," he said.

The director said the company had rented a lorry to Madam Sim and Mr Ng "as they needed the vehicle to collect oil".

He emphasised that the company was not aware of how they went about collecting the waste oil.

But Madam Sim denied paying any rent for the lorry, saying that the company had provided it to them to collect oil.

Madam Sim, a divorcee, questioned: "If I wasn't working for them, then how did I get the lorry?"

TNP had earlier reported that Madam Sim has not worked from around Feb 20, when pictures on citizen journalism website Stomp alerted authorities to their activities.

She has two sons - a secondary school student, 13, and an ITE student, 19 - and they live in a one -room flat in Taman Jurong.

Mr Ng, who has since found a new job, said: "I just want to forget about this whole incident."

Jia Lat. They are just dirt poor sinkies......

The only ones to be blamed are the influx of foreigners which has led to resentment and anti foreigner sentiment. People are seeing shadows and phantoms. They were just unlucky. Be very careful not to be mistaken for a FT.

The best option is to wear the "NS for Sinkies, Jobs for FT" shirt when you go out, that way you won't be mistaken for one.

Alamak. If she were a Tiong or some other FT she would not have been charged. At most receive one 'warning' and that's it.

NEA, like its pappy scum masters, only know how to oppress Sinkies. The lower the Sinkie's income and net worth, the greater the oppression from the authorities. Typical schoolyard bully mentality.

How stupid can the guys at NEA get? Free lancers or not, the two who are being charged, were clearly working for Sky-Land (Oils & Fats) whose lorry was used to collect the gutter oil. How can the latter disclaim responsibility when its vehicle was involved? The guys operating this company have the same mentality as the chinkie contractor who dumped an injured ahneh, an illegal immigrant, in a drain and let him die. CPIB should in and investigate why this company wasn't being charged. At the worst scenario, the gutter oil could be deemed as state property and all these people should face trial for stealing state property.

Well... that's what happens when there's no real labour union to fight for workers' rights and the regime is ruthlessly pro-business, pro-employer.

The small people suffer, the SG Inc machine rolls along.

Don't be so naive as to work freelance for these so-called oil companies.

Some companies out there may be unscrupulous and they may be out to con you.

Who knows, some companies may tell you the oil you collect for them is for biodiesel, but in reality they may send it for use in foodstuffs!

Best not to work for these companies! Find a proper job instead! Otherwise if you work for a dishonest company, and NEA find out, they may charge both the company as well as you!

Don;'t be stupid and get yourself into unnecessary trouble!

You speak as if low-income people have a choice in their employment.
