Mohd Fahmi Aliman on Workplace Fairness Bill
The Workplace Fairness Bill strengthens protections against discrimination based on race and religion and sends a signal that Singapore’s racial and religious harmony must be safeguarded with the utmost care, said MP Mohd Fahmi Aliman. Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday (Jan 8), he also raised concerns with comments by MP Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap on two issues affecting Muslim workers, namely flexibility to participate in Friday prayers and flexibility to wear the headscarf at the workplace. He warned against resolving such issues with a claims-based approach, saying a better way is to handle the issues collectively and sensitively involving the tripartite partners.
