Update on Actions Taken Against Facility Management Firm of Hillview Heights Condominium on Discriminatory Clauses in September 2021 Tender for Security Services

52 Mr Raj Joshua Thomas asked the Minister for Manpower whether the Ministry can provide an update on any actions taken against the facility management firm of Hillview Heights condominium regarding the discriminatory clauses in a tender for security services that it had put out in September 2021.

Dr Tan See Leng: MOM has suspended the work pass privileges of the facility management firm of Hillview Heights Condominium for including discriminatory requirements in their tender document. To avoid future occurrence of such incidents, MOM has also issued an advisory to Hillview Heights Condominium’s Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) to remind them of the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices (TGFEP).

MOM takes a serious view of workplace discrimination and will not hesitate to take enforcement actions where necessary.
