Another usual same ol' shit spewing out from his CB mouth. CB Kia Kee Chiu let me explain to you in simple terms how these FTs in collaboration with their companies exploit this loophole.

Ah Neh go interview with this local company. Boss agrees to hire Ah Neh on S Pass but on one condition. Company gives Ah Neh basic salary of 2.5K a month. During signing of letter of appointment, stated salary is 2.5K. But behind the scenes, Boss tell Ah Neh salary time on 25th every month, he will get his 2.5K salary. But after withdrawing his salary, Ah Neh must return $1000 to his company. So Ah Neh actual salary is just 1.5K a month but not 2.5K as stated in the agreement papers. Ah Neh willing to agree to this deal since he won't get a job that pays him even $1000 Singapore dollars back in India. This is a hush hush agreement between the 2 parties. All these local bosses exploiting this loophole, all of them are confident that these Ah Nehs won't complain to MOM.

This sort of practice is very common in the marine construction industry... I'm sure it's widely practiced too in the other industries.

In NZ these sorts of practices are rife in the hospitality industry. Restaurant hires a "chef" for $70,000 per year after telling immigration that he is highly skilled at cooking North Indian / Koren / Jap etc cuisine and no kiwi can do the job but in reality the guy is just a kitchen helper.

However the boss already collected a huge amount up front with a promise of getting residency for the "chef". Boss then pays the salary from what he collected up front.

The other way is that Boss also owns lots of properties. Pays employee big bucks up front but employee has to rent a room from boss at astronomical rent.

The quotes were from another thread. This is absolutely true. A common practice exploited by the companies and their Banglas, Ah Nehs employees. They have been conning the MOM for years even before this latest move by PAP's quality over quantity bullshit.

Already have the hint years ago.
