The business associations and the finance body drew considerable flak electronically after the declaration was released.
The banking association was asked in a frequently circulated article by Ms. Tasha Enright to” politely explain why you have taken position against banning lorries to carry foreign workers due to complete disregard for their safety and lives- an labor issue you skin in the game for.”
Zheng Huifen, a former relationship associate, expressed her shock and sadness at the statement’s signing on the LinkedIn networking site.
She wrote that unless the association revoked its signature or offered” a good explanation for this action ,” she did not renew her membership. She claimed that she had resigned in protest.
When contacted by CNA, Ms. Zheng responded,” I totally disagree with the process of ferrying people on lorries, which is a dehumanizing and unfair practice that treats people like simple tools without regard for their security or dignity, and I can’t join an association that constantly supports for activity.”
” Even more so when I fail to see how a proposed ban on this practice would directly affect the fintech sector, which seems to demonstrate that the ( Singapore FinTech Association ) is not up to its obligation to represent Singapore’s fintechnology sector.
The rapidly expanding banking industry primarily focuses on using technology to support and facilitate banking and financial companies.
