"At the time of her death, MOM ensured that a full insurance payout was made to the next-of-kin, consisting of the full death benefit, repatriation cost and a special gratuity payment." "The Government takes the protection of foreign domestic workers seriously and will let the law run its course," said Mrs Teo.
