It was the Nee Soon GRC MPs who instructed an investigation into kickbacks given by some estate cleaners to an operations manager once they learnt about the case from a whistle-blower, said Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam on Feb 1.
Derrick Ho, who oversaw estate cleaners in Nee Soon East and Pasir Ris-Punggol, collected $396,440 from 57 Bangladeshi workers from 2014 to 2020 for the renewal of their work permits. Responding to a question on the comments by political parties on this incident, Mr Shanmugam said it is “fair and natural for Singaporeans, including political parties, to ask questions”.
By continuing with the contractor, the others in the company – including Singaporean workers – are not punished, he said.
