Overview
- About 80 employees were dismissed without advance notice, with the union calling the move unacceptable and urging collaboration with the liquidator on claims.
- AAG Corporate Advisory, appointed as liquidator, says it is gathering information and will convene a creditors’ meeting within four weeks as required by law.
- In a joint statement, MOM and the CPF Board said they will pursue enforcement where warranted, and CPF will file claims to recover outstanding September and October contributions.
- Workers have begun seeking recourse at the MOM Services Centre for unpaid October salaries, and foreign staff face tight deadlines to secure new jobs under work pass rules.
- The chain, founded in 2011 and sold to India’s Dhunseri Group in 2016, previously faced fines in 2021 for underpaying foreign employees, adding scrutiny to the current case.
