Three Foreigners Caught in Delivery Rider Sting

In a significant move to tackle illegal work in Singapore, three foreigners have been arrested for operating as delivery riders without the necessary permits. This action comes after a series of intensive enforcement operations conducted by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) following numerous complaints.

The Motivation Behind the Operation

Senior Minister of State for Manpower, Koh Poh Koon, revealed in a Facebook update that these inspections were prompted by concerns from the National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA) about specific hotspots where illegal activities were rampant. A video showcasing the enforcement checks was even shared on his post.

A Closer Look at the Operations

During MOM's recent operations, a staggering 375 delivery workers were scrutinized. The arrest of the three foreigners highlighted a growing issue in the industry, not only for the immediate penalties they face but also for the unfair competition they present to legitimate riders.
