MOM orders seven workplaces to cease amidst safety lapses

All seven have now been allowed to resume operations.

The Ministry of Manpower has ordered seven workplaces to cease operations due to lapses in Safe Management Measures (SMM) requirements, according to an announcement.

Six were found out to have many employees at the workplace despite the ability to perform their work at home, whilst one had multiple lapses in implementing the SMMs.

All seven have since been allowed to resume operations after correcting their practices.

On 15 June, the ministry handed out 52 composition fines of $1,000 each to employers for failing to comply with requirements.

The MOM reminds all employers and workers to take SMM rules seriously to help stop the spread of the virus. Those who wish to report lapses are encouraged to do so through the SnapSAFE app.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
