SINGAPORE - A director allegedly linked to the largest and most extensive case involving false declarations investigated by the Ministry of Manpower to date has had all 49 of her charges compounded for $147,000.
Under the law, only certain offences can be compounded. Compounding an offence requires an agreement to have the matter compensated, usually with a payment or an apology. These eight parties faced 553 charges in total for offences including false declaration of employment, false declaration of salaries, illegally employing foreigners without valid work passes and excessive overtime hours.
The ruse involved the submission of 111 false salary declarations linked to work permit and S Pass applications or renewals to MOM. Mohamed Jinna Mohamed Abdul Jaleel, 40, and Parvis Ahamed Mohamed Ghouse, 46, were directors at all three companies at the time of the offences.
