SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Manpower will take action against the Singapore Ambulance Association and"associated businesses and persons" after the company"persisted in not making payments" to vaccinators at a COVID-19 vaccination centre.

"MOM will suspend their work pass privileges as well as for all their associated companies," added the spokesperson on Wednesday in a reply to CNA's queries. "Given that SAA has been uncooperative and persisted in not making payments after more than two months of engagement, TADM and the National Trades Union Congress have worked behind the scenes to assist the 15 affected vaccinators," the spokesperson said.

"It has been a difficult time for the vaccinators, who had worked in the frontlines but were not paid for their services," added the spokesperson.Parkway Shenton's"goodwill payment" will be equivalent to what is owed to the workers, NTUC Secretary-General Ng Chee Meng said in a Facebook post.The 15 affected workers - many of whom are students - were engaged as vaccinators and nurses at the Bukit Timah Community Club vaccination centre.
