MOM to set up committee to examine if laws against workplace discrimination should be introduced

While the Government has implemented several changes to foreign manpower policies over the years, Mr Tay said that many Singaporean PMEs feel that the policy adjustments are insufficient.“I can feel the fears and anxieties of our local PMEs, especially over job security.

Mr Tay suggested that MOM review the existing legal and policy framework and give the Tripartite Alliance on Fair Employment Practices more teeth through legislation, expanding the powers of investigation, enforcement and punishment against those who discriminate at workplaces. Mr Saktiandi Supaat and Mr Louis Ng also spoke about instances of racial and age discrimination, as well as unfairness towards women in the workplace.

"Legislating the guidelines will send a loud and clear message to employers that discrimination in the workplace will not be tolerated. It will be illegal, and unfair practices will be punished by law," he said.In response, Dr Tan said MOM will ensure that Singaporeans are considered fairly for employment opportunities, noting that penalties for all forms of workplace discrimination were recently stiffened.

“On the one hand, legislation will provide a clear premise to publicise the names of companies found to have breached the law,” Dr Tan said.BALANCED SUITE OF MEASURES NEEDED

Workplace discrimination should not be highlighted to a point where useless baggage overwhelms the abilities to most effectively get a job done. Equality does not equate effectiveness nor productivity. Bad idea to try to generalise everything raising cost. 😎🤔😇

You have to hand it to the Spore government, they're quite inventive when trying to spin a democratic agenda in their autocratic Orwellian 'utopia' 😂🤣
