SINGAPORE - The advisory committee on platform workers will study how to strengthen protection of those in delivery services, private-hire car drivers and cabbies, said Senior Minister of State for Manpower Koh Poh Koon. It will also look into "ensuring a more balanced relationship" between them and the companies they work with, as well as compensation and better protection from workplace injuries, he told the House on Tuesday (Sept 14) in response to MPs who asked about protection for these gig workers. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had announced at the National Day Rally last month that the Manpower Ministry will study how to accord greater protection to delivery workers. PM Lee had noted that workers for platforms such as foodpanda, Grab and Deliveroo have no employment contracts and thus lack basic job protections such as workplace injury compensation, union representation and employer Central Provident Fund contributions. On Tuesday, Dr Koh said about 79,000 people worked with matching platform companies for their main source of income last year. Of these, about half are private-hire car drivers and one-third are taxi drivers. The rest are mostly car and light goods vehicle d...

In this latest UN report, it is estimated that the number of people affected by hunger worldwide in 2020 was between 720 and 811 million people. This is a marked increase of over 100 million more people than in 2019.

SINGAPORE - A new court dedicated to dealing with harassment cases, such as those involving doxxing - the publishing of an individual's private personal information online - and threatening behaviour, will be established here on Tuesday (June 1). The Protection from Harassment Court will hear all criminal and civil harassment claims, said the Ministry of Law and the State Courts in a joint press release on Monday. But the court may not deal with claims related to other civil or family proceedings that it thinks would be more "justly, expeditiously and economically disposed of in another court". Simplified court processes will be adopted in the new court for certain types of applications - including those for protection orders (POs) and orders relating to falsehoods - if the claims meet certain criteria. Hearings will also be conducted by the new court more quickly, so that victims can obtain timely relief. It will aim to conduct hearings for expedited protection orders (EPOs) within 48 to 72 hours of application, or within 24 hours when actual violence or a risk of violence is involved. It will also aim to hear PO applications within four weeks of their submission. Various changes ...
