Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower is reviewing how to strengthen measures to tackle workplace discrimination more effectively, reports The Straits Times. Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said that while anti-discrimination laws ‘will not be a panacea for unfair employment practices’, the authorities are considering all options. Stiffer penalties may be adopted for employers who do not consider Singaporeans fairly for job opportunities, Leng said. The ministry and tripartite partners (which include the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF)) are reviewing the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices.
