Foreigners working without valid Work Passes may be fined up to S$20,000, jailed up to two years, or both -- and banned from working in Singapore
A foodpanda delivery driver rides his motorcycle in Bangkok on May 4, 2021, as restaurants have been ordered to offer takeaway only amid the latest Covid-19 coronavirus wave in Thailand.
The three foreigners who were working as food delivery riders without valid work passes are now facing permanent bans from working in Singapore. Among them, 36-year-old Ng Teik Chuan stands out, having processed more than 1,300 orders between May 2022 and March 2023, earning approximately S$17,000. As a result, Ng has been slapped with a S$10,000 fine, more than the other two have to pay.
The third defendant, 28-year-old Chaw Soon Yaw, operated in a similar manner, using his brother’s Deliveroo account to make more than S$2,000. His brother, a Singapore permanent resident , cooperated in this endeavour despite being aware that it was illegal for Chaw Soon Yaw to work without a valid work pass. Consequently, both Chaw and his brother were fined S$5,000 each.
