Abuse or Ill Treatment
|
The Government takes a serious view of employers who ill-treat or abuse their foreign workers, especially those in domestic employment. Such actions are cruel and inhumane, and undermine Singapore's efforts to be a gracious society. Our international image as a country and as a people will also be tarnished. Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs) are entitled to human dignity as well as fair treatment. Employers who abuse their foreign workers will be severely dealt with. The Police conduct prompt and thorough investigations into all such cases. Errant employers will be charged in court and those found guilty of physical abuse or ill-treatment will be jailed, fined and/or caned. In 1998, the Penal Code was amended to stiffen penalties committed by employers against their FDWs by 50%. For example, the normal penalty for causing voluntary hurt is imprisonment for up to one year and/or a fine of up to $1,000. However, if the case involves an employer voluntarily hurting an FDW, the employer can be imprisoned for up to 1½ years and/or fined up to $1,500. In addition, convicted employers and their spouses will not be allowed to employ another FDW permanently. |
