Chitchat Thai Students Working As KTV Singers In Zikapore During Holidays! Your Kids Leh?

[JohnTan]

Thai students working as “singers” and “models” at entertainment venues in Singapore during school breaks are violating the law and can be punished by a fine of up to Bt490,000 (S$20,029) or two years in jail or both, warned the Labour Ministry's Department of Employment (DOE).

DOE director-general Waranon Pitiwan said the agency had learned that some people tried to lure Thai students with the promise of payments of up to Bt400,000, a round-trip plane ticket and accommodation to do that job.

Mr Pitiwan said such work was illegal because people must obtain a work permit for performing artists valid for up to six months, which was issued by Singapore’s Labour Ministry and which enabled the permit-holder to be protected by the Employment Act.


He said people entering Singapore on a tourist visa and working without a proper permit faced, if caught, a maximum fine of S$20,000 and/or up to two years in prison.


He said if a person overstayed their visa, they faced a prison term of up to six months and at least three cane strikes.

Thai students must not believe those trying to convince them to work illegally there, he added.


He also urged people wishing to get more information about working abroad to contact DOE branch offices, the Bangkok's DOE area 1-10 offices or call the hotline 1694.

Sinkie sluts who can make it are working as social escorts also, the rest are pathetic fat bitches taking photos of their lunch and their cb cafe.

Reality is that moonlighting is not 'students' (unless masquerading). And not KTVs as TS is alleging, but HFJs as PRs with some singing and gyrating thrown in :p Yet another Thai export

Those who are not students are working in the farms (as you know, various types, ranging to vegetables, hen, chicken, pigs, hydroponics, etc, etc) everyday.

So what is the big deal of these students working during their free time? Earning more money not ok, meh????

agree absolutely and i'm with you on this - nothing wrong with these students "farming out' their "produce" for an entrepreneurial and sustainable livelihood, especially during the moonlight hours

sg though small has quite a large natural organic free-range chicken farm industry. in line with latest "healthy" lifestyle trends, thanks to pap.

There are always suckers out there willing to pay top dollar to piak a farmer's daughter
Singapore girls will just cave in to peer pressure to let their boyfriends pop their cherry at Downtown East chalets during skool holidays :p
