A migrant domestic worker (MDW) was filmed standing on the ledge outside a 24th floor condominium unit to clean windows.<\/p>\n
The incident allegedly happened at Lentor Modern on May 14, reported Stomp on Monday (May 25).<\/p>\n
The video shows the woman using a wiper and a cloth to clean the windows of the unit while standing on the narrow ledge outside the condominium unit.<\/p>\n
A resident, identified only as J, told Stomp he was “shocked” and “worried” by the sighting.<\/p>\n
In response to queries by AsiaOne, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said that they are aware of an incident involving a helper “observed to be working in unsafe conditions”, and are currently investigating.<\/p>\n
“MOM would like to remind employers that they are also responsible for\u00a0ensuring the safety and well-being of their MDWs at all times,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, employers must\u00a0provide a safe working environment for their helpers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Employers who <\/strong>fail to meet the requirements can be fined up to $10,000 and\/or jailed for up to 12 months. They may also be barred from employing an MDW.<\/p>\n [[nid:736240]]<\/p>\n daoen.wong@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A migrant domestic worker (MDW) was filmed standing on the ledge outside a 24th floor condominium unit to clean windows.
