Replying to an MP’s questions in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3) on protecting platform delivery workers during the haze, Minister of State for Manpower Foo Cexiang highlighted that platform operators have been advised to issue hydration reminders and to not penalise their riders - via reduced incentives, fewer job allocations or pay cuts - for delayed deliveries. Delivery workers are encouraged to take regular breaks at designated Community Club shelters and those facing financial strain from scaling back their hours for health reasons can seek assistance from Social Service Offices. He also welcomed proactive joint initiatives by platform operators and work associations, such as the recent distribution of N95 masks to riders.
