SINGAPORE – The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has taken action against 10 more work-pass holders and suspended the privileges of nine more employers for breaching leave-of-absence (LOA) requirements between Feb 10 and Monday (Feb 24).
MOM said in a statement that as of Monday, it has taken action against a total of 14 work-pass holders and 15 employers.
Of the 10 work-pass holders who most recently flouted the rules, six have had their passes revoked.
The ministry said that among the six, one foreign worker had his work pass revoked and is permanently banned from employment in Singapore after he was caught visiting a casino.
Two of these workers claimed they were not aware of the LOA requirements despite being informed by MOM earlier. Their work passes were revoked, and they have been permanently banned from employment in Singapore.
Their employers’ work-pass privileges have also been suspended for two years.
