I overheard a conversation at a hawker centre between two persons who appear to be employers.

A: Hey, you heard or not. First case of MOM penalise employer you know – hire foreigner then sack Singaporean
B: Hah, so must be careful – means now must employ Singaporeans is it?

A: No lah. MOM say the employer can still renew the existing work permits lah.
B: Hah. So, this type of penalty is like no penalty leh. No sweat lah. I will employ foreigners lah – they two years cannot resign mah. Singaporeans all don’t really want to work one. Always resign give me headache lah. Eh but what you mean by ban from employing foreigners for two years?

A: Aiyah. Means meantime still can renew the foreign workers in the company – only cannot apply for new permit for two years only lah
B: Wah lao. MOM very good leh – always help us. Si bei wayang lah! haha. What company so sueh?







A: Small PRC company lah. You think they will catch GLC, listed company meh? Aiyah – just go look at the hospitals and post office lah – so many foreigners
Can renew existing work permits
According to the Straits Times print edition news report “MOM bars marine firm from hiring foreigners” (Dec 30) – “The MOM however, declined to disclose when the two-year ban started. But the company can renew the work passes of its existing foreign workers, the MOM told The Straits Times.”
How come can “declined to disclose when the two-year ban started” one meh?
Wayang king lah!
