Court Cases Involving Employers and Their Foreign Domestic Workers and Number Convicted

9 Mr Derrick Goh asked the Minister for Law in the last three years (a) what is the number of court cases involving employers and their foreign domestic workers (FDWs); (b) what is the number of cases wherein the employer has been convicted; and (c) what is the number of cases wherein the FDW has been convicted.

Mr K Shanmugam: The agencies have considered the High Court judgment, and are conducting reviews. These reviews are still in progress.

I will address the questions raised by Members, after the reviews are completed. I expect to do so at the November sitting. As I have indicated, I will be making a Ministerial Statement.
