Mr Lee Choon Eng asked the Minister for Labour and Welfare-
(a) whether he has taken steps to investigate the activities of private employment exchanges;
(b) whether he is aware of any complaints made to the Police against private employment exchanges; and
(c) whether he has taken or will take steps to protect the public from exploitation.
The Minister for Labour and Welfare (Mr Lim Yew Hock): Mr Speaker, the activities of the employment exchanges have been investigated by officers of the Labour Department on an unofficial basis.
In reply to (b) and (c) of the hon. Member's question, I would refer him to the answer I gave to a similar question he asked on 24th April, 1957. I have nothing to add to the reply I made on that occasion.
