Mdm Deputy Speaker: Senior Minister of State Koh Poh Koon, you have a clarification?

The Senior Minister of State for Manpower (Dr Koh Poh Koon): Thank you, Madam, I just want to clarify on the answer I had given to Parliamentary Question 12. I had misspoken about the fine. For work pass holders found to be engaged in illegal employment, they will face a fine of $20,000 or imprisonment of up to two years, or both; not $2,000. [Please refer to "Enforcement of Restrictions on Work Pass Holders Working for More Than One Employer", Official Report, 2 August 2021, Vol 95, Issue 35, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
