SINGAPORE — A construction worker from Bangladesh was fined S$40,000 in default of four months’ imprisonment after he was convicted on one count of conducting employment agency (EA) activities without valid license issued by Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

On April 30, 28-year-old Ahmead Rubel became the first person to be convicted after a Court trial for conducting employment agency activities without a licence.

Rubel assisted another man from Bangladesh, Jabed, find a job as a contruction worker at Nanjing Minglu Construction Engineering (Singapore) from Dec 26 2013 to June 9 last year after liaising with Lu Zhibo, a senior site manager of the company, whom he had become acquainted with.

Sometime in November 2013, Rubel learned from Lu that he was looking for construction workers for his company. Around the same time, Rubel met up with a Bangladeshi worker, Mosharaf, near Mustafa

Shopping Centre, and asked if Mosharaf knew of any Bangladeshi who wanted to work in

Singapore and told him of the job vacancy with the company Lu worked for.

Rubel also told Mosharaf he would charge S$3,000 as agency fees.

The inforamation was conveyed to Jabed, who then took the job offer. Rubel then facilitated the employment by forwarding Jabed’s supporting documents to Lu. A work permit application was submitted for Jabed and subsequently approved.

In December 2013, Jabed handed $3,000 to Rubel through a cousin.

During the two-day trial from April 29 to April 30 last year, Rubel denied having received any money from Mosharaf or knowing any of the parties involved.

However, the prosecution proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt that Rubel was performing activities in relation to the placement of Jabed, when he did not have a valid EA licence and had contravened the Employment Agencies Act (EAA) and was Rubel was found guilty.

Two other similar charges were taken into consideration for the purpose of the sentencing, said a statement from MOM.

Mr Kevin Teoh, Divisional Director of MOM’s Foreign Manpower Management Division said: “Foreigners holding valid work passes should not try to earn quick money by performing unlicensed EA activities.”

He added: “Foreigners who want to seek employment in Singapore, and companies which seek workers should approach licensed EAs for their employment and recruitment needs.”

The company that hired Jabed was fined S$4,000 on July 10 last year after it pleaded guilty for using the services of Rubel. Two other charges under the same section were taken into consideration for the purpose of sentencing.

The money he earned could easily be more than the fine imposed upon him. He never lugi.

This is just the tip of the ice-berg. For one that was caught, how many got away with it ?

I am glad that MOM took action against this low-caste bastard. Earning agent's fees for cheap labour has always been the sole privilege of us folks in the higher caste. Lower caste people like construction workers should learn to be contented with earning a few hundred bucks a month for back-breaking work. They should take some meditation or yoga classes at the nearest CC if they are discontented with the status quo.

I will not stand for any lowly bastard trying to upset the apple cart.
