SINGAPORE \u2013 A domestic helper was seen standing on a ledge outside a high-floor condominium unit at 1 Lentor Central to clean a window.<\/p>\n
The incident, which is under investigation, allegedly took place on the 24th floor of Lentor Modern on May 14 at about 10am.<\/p>\n
Two Stomp readers, who did not give their names, shared a video and photos showing the woman standing on a narrow ledge while using a long-handled wiper to clean the exterior windows.<\/p>\n
One of the readers said the images were first shared by another resident in a group chat. \u201cI was shocked when I saw this and worried for the helper,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In response to a Stomp query, a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) spokesperson said: \u201cMOM is aware of an incident involving a migrant domestic worker (MDW) who was observed to be working in unsafe conditions at Lentor Central, and is investigating the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
MOM reminded employers that they are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of their domestic helpers at all times.<\/p>\n
Under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, employers of MDWs are required to provide safe working conditions.<\/p>\n
Employers who breach these 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.
