Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 4: Louis Chua on predatory employment contracts
Many Singaporeans, especially the young, may unknowingly enter predatory employment contract terms and there is a need to better protect and educate them on their rights to fair employment, said MP Louis Chua. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Mar 4), he stressed the need to rein in errant employers who make use of unfair terms in employment contracts to gain advantage at the cost of the employees’ well-being. He said it is critical to examine some practices and review whether Singapore needs to re-examine its stance of not introducing regulations. He urged the Government to investigate how prevalent such practices are and whether they are justified.
