He Ting Ru on Workplace Fairness Bill
In Parliament on Tuesday (Jan 7), MP He Ting Ru sought clarifications on the Workplace Fairness Bill to understand why some types of discrimination such as non-workplace discrimination and indirect discrimination, among others, are excluded. She highlighted that several characteristics which are "well-known sources of discrimination", such as chronic medical conditions and learning disabilities, are not covered by the Bill. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity are also explicitly excluded from the Bill, said Ms He. She wanted to know how the Ministry of Manpower plans to address such types of discrimination, particularly as they are not currently explicitly covered by the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment guidelines.
