In any case, this does not appear to be her first brush with the law. In 2012, De Luna was charged and fined $50,000 for setting up and running 2 unlicensed employment agencies.

In July 2010 – then described as a PR in the media report -  she was issued a licence by the Ministry of Manpower to operate an employment agency, RSD Consultancy & Services. Even though she had an existing agency license, she proceeded to set up another employment agency – NWCD Consultancy & Services – without a license. This was run by her husband, who was then on a social visit pass.

In July 2011, the license of RSD Consultancy & Services’ had expired but De Luna did not renew it as she was being investigated by MOM. Despite ongoing investigations, she nonetheless proceeded to set up a second unlicensed agency, Impact Manpower, using a nominee director and applicant.

In any case, it seems that De Luna’s earlier application for PR status was successful given that the 2012 media report described her as being a “PR”. Whilst being a PR, it is equally curious that her forgery came to light only after 8 years, and the subsequent charge took more than 2 years. Was her PR not revoked after the fine?

I guess this is the kind of entrepreneurial spirit that we lack!

Seriously, not one but two companies.

Pick any local graduate, even you or I myself working in a normal wage-earning job, ask to set up company and run a business ... I think many of us will think twice or be totally clueless about what to do, or whether the business will be viable, and the consequences.

All these crap started because of what reason?

The lack of transparency on gahment part lo.

 

They talk a lot on transparency but talk only. So when ppl ask them for info, ask them for data, what is being presented? Talk talk talk lo.

more FT means economy good good.

in a recession FT go first unless company collapse than all go regardless.

FT are expendables lah, core group still Singaporeans.

we are shepherds and they are cows.

one shepherd cannot have only one cow right ?

more cows per shepherd better economy of scale.

What is the mix in the world of IB? Mostly Malaysians right?

we don't have natural resources like Malaysia.

they can take life easy and their country provides.

we can only make Singapore attractive for FT to come and milk them like natural resources.

more FT means more milk for Singapore.

the government can only try to make most Singaporeans benefit from it.

hopefully more Singaporeans can get to drink this milk.

just see FT as milk cows and maybe you feel less angry.

 

 

U speak like CCS.

These ppl open the the floodgates and watched things happen. Now they call it discrimination. Can someone tell the pot to stop calling the kettle black?

ok.. in that case, perhaps for better clarity

 

teach us the number of the Singaporean and PR numbers Data

That we may gain a head full of wisdom and a heart of understanding

what is scary is not knowing. The even more scary part is people who thinks they know everything.

I truly don't know if these FT milked us or our milk was all drunk by them hor. 

Every 10 bulls that came and took up a position, they may bring along 1 cow. 10 bulls with 1 cow mean we lost 11 jobs and CCS hopes these 11 jobs will generate 2 additional for Singaporeans.

If they are in ns, they are no longer ft.

If it's not ns, your probably saw overseas exchange attachment, or specialist trainers and "colleague"

My office here got a lot of Malaysians PRs.   Many of them started on work permit then apply PR after few years.   It seem quite easy to get PR in Singapore.

After so many years here, I still cannot stand their Chinese in Malaysian accent and improper chinese. 🙂

Looks like even during covid more are found to be still preferring to hire non locals and we can only continue to monitor and watch it happen 

i suppose like peace on earth while it’s an enviable quality, it would take time to change . Not sure if a more deterrent measure for non compliance will help.

SINGAPORE - More employers are being investigated for possible discriminatory hiring practices, said a report on employment practices released on Thursday (Nov 19).

The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep), the national watchdog on fair employment, investigated about 260 cases of such practices in the first half of this year, 60 per cent more than the 160 cases in the same period last year.

Some 90 employers eventually had their work pass privileges suspended due to discriminatory hiring practices as at August this year, up from 35 for the full year of 2019.

This means the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) barred them from hiring new foreigners or renewing the work passes of existing foreign staff for a period of time.

About 43 per cent of them were identified through data analytics as part of MOM's proactive investigation efforts. The remaining 57 per cent were identified based on complaints received by the ministry and Tafep, said an MOM spokesman in response to media queries.

The spokesman said the ministry’s analytics model helps it proactively identify employers who may have pre-selected foreigners when hiring or not adhered to the spirit of the Fair Consideration Framework job advertising requirement when submitting Employment Pass applications.

Errant employers that breach the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices will be barred from hiring new foreign workers or renewing existing ones for 12 months to 24 months, under stiffer penalties for discriminatory hiring beginning this year.

Ms Christine Loh, director of MOM’s employment standards enforcement department, said in a media statement that the ministry will continue to raise awareness of employment rights and obligations. 

“MOM will also remain vigilant in investigating discriminatory practices and will take errant employers to task so as to build fair workplaces for all Singaporeans,” she said.

National Trades Union Congress assistant secretary-general Patrick Tay said in a Facebook post on Thursday that the issue of discriminatory hiring must continue to be closely watched. 

“On top of existing penalties, the Government could also rescind preferential tax benefits from companies that continue unfair recruitment practices and disallow them from winning public sector contracts, or publish the names of recalcitrant firms that repeatedly fail to show concerted efforts to strengthen the Singaporean core,” he said.

MOM also received about 580 complaints between May and August this year related to cost-saving measures taken by some 470 employers, said the report. The vast majority were able to resolve their disputes amicably after the ministry assessed the fairness of the measures.

For example, a steward at a local hotel filed a complaint against her employer as she was only paid for the work done during the two-month circuit breaker period, which came up to about 10 days per month, but she felt she should be receiving at least 75 per cent of her salary as her employer received financial support from the Jobs Support Scheme.

What's the point of punishing companies when MOM does not name them openly?

Everyday we hear no local COVID19 cases but imported cases. So who are we importing and they are from where? If daily we are importing from a particular country, then the testing there surely is questionable. Are these very much needed FT that we die die must import to cure them?
