Over 100 employees affected in salary offenses across three companies

Of the approximately $432,000 owed to the 103 employees, only $73,000 was eventually paid.

Over 100 employees were affected by salary-related offences for the salary period from August 2022 to December 2022 across three companies including Royal Cuisine Group, Yanxi, and Healthy Meals Catering.

Of the approximately $432,000 owed to the 103 employees, only $73,000 was eventually paid.

The Singaporean couple behind this have been convicted and fined $144,000 for salary-related offences under the Employment Act 1968.

The two were each charged with 24 counts of salary offences and pleaded guilty to 12 charges, with the remaining 12 charges taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing.

Investigations by the Ministry of Manpower found that both accused persons started to accrue salary arrears in August 2022 and failed to fully inform the employees of the companies’ situation and disregarded their concerns even after the closure.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
