Keppel under probe by MOM over unpaid wages - ST by Toh Yong Chuan
Shipyard also responsible for workers hired by sub-contractor: Ministry
Labour MP Zainal Sapari said the MOM made the right move by probing the main contractors.
"They can outsource the work to sub-contractors, but they can not sub-contract their responsibilities on workers' welfare."
Keppel says: Akash Engineering did not inform us of the full extend of the financial difficulties which they were facing.
"From the moment we were alerted to the difficulties, we have made every effort possible to help them overcome their challenges," said a Keppel spokesman, adding that the company even made early payments to the sub-contractor.
