Other parties politicised Nee Soon kickbacks case without understanding what happened: Shanmugam

The incident, which was revealed on Friday by The Straits Times, was the result of an anonymous complaint from a Nee Immediately GRC migrant worker cleaning giving cash to their manager. &nbsp,

In a Twitter post on Friday, Red Dot United called the subject” unsettling” and “utterly unacceptable”. &nbsp,

The group, led by Ravi Philemon, is engaged in Nee Immediately GRC. The article questioned how Parliamentarian Louis Ng, who has long advocated for migrant worker right, allowed the abuse of staff to go undetected. &nbsp,

In the Facebook post, Red Dot United wrote,” This scenario underscores the need for greater investigation of the city council’s role in overseeing its companies.” &nbsp,

Workers ‘ Party chief Pritam Singh even took to Facebook, sharing a conversation he had made in 2021 proposing changes to the law to “get a better hold” on payments. &nbsp,

He also invited those with any information on like circumstances, including businesses contracted by the Aljunied-Hougang or Sengkang village councils, to report the problem to the government. &nbsp,

According to Mr. Shanmugam, who disclosed the incident on Saturday, the MPs “directly” the inquiry to be opened by the reporting system.

” We told the city council. This is critical, we want it investigated. Send it to MOM ( Ministry of Manpower ) and we want to make sure that proper action is taken” .&nbsp,

The “key factor” is that the staff ‘ right were protected, he added. &nbsp,

” We wouldn’t have said,’ The Members were the ones who did it,’ but given the allegations that were made, it has given us an opportunity to talk about what really happened” .&nbsp,

Because studies revealed that one man was the cause of the problem, the city government continued to work with the company, according to Mr. Shanmugam. &nbsp,

” It’s an person, he has been punished, and since 2021 … the company has been taken over by somebody else. You don’t condemn all the others. It employs several Taiwanese workers. Their lives, their families- you need to believe about that too”, he said. &nbsp,

You must strike a balance between the sentence and the harm to other innocent people. This certainly politicise all of these points”, Mr Shanmugam said, adding that the company has implemented fresh, “fairly strict” techniques. &nbsp,

He claimed that this does not imply that Nee Quickly or other locations will not experience these things. &nbsp,

” When it happens, you should take action. The Members ‘ integrity and honesty are what matters. You don’t say things which are not true” .&nbsp,
