SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Manpower has busted a syndicate involved in bringing in migrant workers using work passes that were obtained illegally.
The syndicate works by making CPF contributions to Singaporeans to fraudulently inflate shell companies’ quota to hire foreigners, MOM said in a media release on Saturday.“Based on the inflated quota, the companies would apply for work passes for the foreigners through false declarations. These foreigners would then enter and remain in Singapore via these illegally obtained work passes.”
MOM’s raid this week covered 19 locations, including food stalls, homes and an office belonging to the suspects.
