Online there was a facebook posting calling Ministry of Manpower the most stupidest ministry. Hhmm………



It said it "picked up" a Facebook post on the incident by migrant workers group Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) on Tuesday.

The ministry noted that there is an established channel for TWC2 to raise cases of workers who may need assistance. "In this instance, TWC2 published the post on Facebook without notifying MOM," it said, urging members of the public to alert it to such incidents so it can respond quickly.
TWC2 vice-president Alex Au told The Straits Times last night it had informed the Migrant Workers' Centre (MWC), which has been the key interface for non-governmental organisations such as TWC2 with MOM for the past month, about the case on Monday.

MWC chairman Yeo Guat Kwang said on Tuesday it was notified about the case by TWC2 on Monday.
"As per our normal practice in cases such as this one, we alerted the enforcement unit of MOM about the case," he added.
