A woman posted on Facebook of her unfortunate encounter with loansharks, she claimed that foreign workers lie to the Ministry of Manpower on their place of residence and she has been receiving harassement from loansharks.

Here is her story:

Dear Friends,

I want to bring awareness about this serious problem about foreign workers lying to Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower Foreign Worker on their place of residence and we Singaporeans getting into trouble because of their actions. Not only I have the problem but I found out that many of my friends and cousins have also had the same problem due to these lying foreign workers.

We have received mails from banks to our address with foreign workers names on it but we did not rent my house to any foreign workers. One of my friend was even threatened by loan sharks as a foreign worker had given her address to the loansharks.

My mum also kenna with china workers and I also kenna with bangladesh workers. I complained to MOM officer on the phone back then and he advised my to check in the
link:https://www.mom.gov.sg/eservices/services/tes and to make a online complain against them in the link:https://service2.mom.gov.sg/efeedback/Forms/efeedback.aspx

I am sharing because i do not want any of you to kenna loanshark harassment like my friend or worse. Luckily the loanshark understood they were given wrong address by foreign worker if not i wonder what would have happen to my friend. I talked to a kind MOM customer officer and he explained clearly that he has happened to others as well and actions will be taken against the worker and company.

So i am urging everyone to check and report before any foreign worker abuse your address for their gain. I think they will give our address to stay so they can sleep at a cheaper but overcrowded location.

I do understand the cheaper rental they will be getting but if an overcrowded flat has covid positive person then likely the virus will spread fast leading to more cases and deaths.

Currently based on my checks, the max number of occupants stand 6 people only.

Furthermore, Singapore Ministry of Manpower only sends out messages to private residential premises houses but most of the incidents take place at HDB as we Singaporeans can only afford it.

My friend has lost his grandfather to CO VID last week and i hope it does not happen to others so please share these links so action can be taken by MOM against this lying foreign workers.

I have given the link below and above as well for everyone’s ease of reference. Take care and stay safe everyone.
