SINGAPORE: A Singaporean took to Reddit recently, wondering if the company their friend works for may be using a loophole to hire more foreign workers, and seeking advice as to what steps can be taken to address this issue.on r/askSingapore on June 7, u/GunnyGunderson wrote about an SME having two companies located in the same place, hiding them under the names “ABC Pte Ltd” and “DEF Pte Ltd.”
However, this friend does not work for DEF and their contract says they are employed only by ABC. u/GunnyGunderson added that their friend no longer received pay slips and that nobody had explained why this situation is so. u/GunnyGunderson said, however, that employees fear the whistleblower might be identified during MOM’s investigations and their employer might make things difficult for them.
