SINGAPORE – It will soon be easier for the public to report foreign workers doing illegal delivery work.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will be adding a dedicated tab to report such cases on its website, said Senior Minister of State for Health and Manpower Koh Poh Koon on Aug 20 in a Facebook post.

Three foreigners

were arrested for working illegally in this area

after the ministry conducted enforcement operations.

Dr Koh thanked local delivery riders for their support of the operations, which targeted potential hot spots flagged by the National Delivery Champions Association.

More than 370 riders helped MOM officers conduct these operations, despite being on shift, he noted.

“For food delivery riders, every minute counts. Their willingness to pause and help was no small sacrifice, and we are deeply grateful for their cooperation and sense of responsibility,” he added.

“Illegal delivery work undercuts our local platform workers and enforcement ensures a level playing field for all.”

Dr Koh said the Platform Workers Trilateral Group will continue to look at concerns raised by such workers.
