The Ministry of Manpower said in a press release that the occupancy cap of the premises at Lorong 14 Geylang, at the time of the offences, was eight people. It has since been revised to six people.
Inspections conducted by MOM and the Urban Redevelopment Authority found that bed spaces were added to accommodate foreign workers.Investigations also revealed that Shi, Chen, and Genocean Enterprises had converted a third space at Lorong Kismis, near Toh Tuck Walk, into an unauthorised workers' dormitory in June and July 2015.
Shi submitted false address information to the Controller of Work Passes in August and September 2016 for 12 foreign workers. He also failed to update the addresses of another 40 foreign workers in March and April 2015. In addition to this, Shi had consented to his company housing 15 foreign workers in another overcrowded space at Geylang Road in 2016.
Ms Jeanette Har, director of MOM's well-being department, foreign manpower management division, said the ministry and other agencies will intensify inspections of accommodation and send a strong signal that employers must look after the welfare of workers.
