Yet motorcycles with Malaysian plates have been spotted here with riders wearing the distinctive green Grab apparel carrying the distinctive green Grab bag behind.
Two Singapore citizens and one permanent resident were also charged with three counts of abetment of these offences. They had purportedly provided the foreigners with access to their accounts on various food delivery platforms, despite being aware that the foreigners did not have valid work passes to work as food delivery riders.
The Ministry of Manpower said it has been engaging the major food delivery platforms to enhance their processes and prevent the misuse of accounts by unauthorised parties. MOM and the platforms have also worked together on educational messages to advise riders against allowing foreigners to use or share their food delivery accounts, which have been disseminated through the platforms' communication channels.

Stay open, respect sovereignty, and take collective action: SM Teo on guideposts in a turbulent worldSINGAPORE - Respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all, taking collective action on global issues, and promoting openness and interconnectedness rather than engaging in zero-sum self-interest are some guideposts for Singapore to secure its place in a turbulent and uncertain world, said Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean. Mr Teo, who is also the Coordinating Minister for National Security, added that in this new world, while Singapore’s strategies and solutions may change, these principles that underpin them remain. In the opening address at the Asia Future Summit 2023, Mr Teo said: “Singapore today is better equipped than ever before in terms of human capital, know-how, material resources, and international networks, to play a part in nudging the world in the direction of openness, inclusivity, and enlightened self-interest, both for our own benefit, and also for the region, and the world as a whole.” The summit marks the inaugural collaboration between The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao and The Business Times. The invitation-only event is taking place today and tomorrow at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore. Read more at straitstimes.com.
