Dear Editor,
I would like to share my encounters below on Ms Indranee’s handling of contentious issues relating to her ministry. Up to now, I have still not received any responses from her on the purported ‘reformed’ status of the IPTO, proposed to parliament last year and its assistance to the plight of victims of rogue business dealers.
This only goes to prove what I have suspected all along, that we are only a nation of pretense and that our so called ‘tough laws’ are in actual fact, lopsided and unable or unwilling to be enforced. This is well-known among foreign business interests who exploit the system and leave the innocent, stranded. As there was not much publication on such issues on your site previously due to most of the victims either being ignorant or not IT savvy, hence the government quietly went to plug the ‘hole’ by passing the CPF amendment bill and launching ‘consultations’ to amend the Employment Act.
It will scare you to know that there are no penalties ascribe to flouters of the Employment and CPF Act and they can just simply file for insolvency and absolve themselves of any transgressions to not paying worker’s salary or CPF. Singaporean workers already have to start off in an imbalanced playing field where most HR departments and CEO are foreigners. Can you imagine the “unevenness” and “un-level” when you couple it with apathetic and lax labour laws?
Yours sincerely,
Mdm Chow S.H.
