Clarification by Senior Minister of State for Manpower

Mdm Deputy Speaker: Senior Minister of State Koh Poh Koon, you have a clarification?

The Senior Minister of State for Manpower (Dr Koh Poh Koon): Thank you, Madam, I just want to clarify on the answer I had given to Question No 12. I had misspoken about the fine. For work pass holders found to be engaged in illegal employment, they will face a fine of $20,000 or imprisonment of up to two years, or both; not $2,000.
