Singapore probes foreign workers working as airport baggage handlers

Original: airport

Singapore authorities are investigating about 45 companies after roughly 270 Employment Pass holders were suspected of being deployed as airport baggage handlers, in breach of their work pass conditions. The Labour Ministry has not named the firms involved. Separately, an attack on Dammam international airport in Saudi Arabia killed one person, adding to regional security concerns.

Why now: Work pass misuse at Changi and an airport attack abroad both raise travel and labour enforcement concerns
