A NEW online service from the Ministry of Manpower makes it easier for private homeowners to detect and report the misuse of their home addresses for foreign worker housing.
Since the new service was soft launched in December 2018, it has enabled 489 homeowners to check and report cases of misused addresses compared to fewer than 30 per year previously. All the employers and workers involved have been or are being investigated. Arising from these complaints, MOM has fined 19 employers as at April 24 for failing to exercise supervision over their foreign workers’ place of residence and for providing false address information to MOM.
