[Singapore] MP asks MOM to raise minimum pay for ICT and professional services

The professional services sector includes accountancy, consultancy and law. In parliament, on August 31, Mr Tay - assistant secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress - reportedly said that both sectors tend to have a high number of companies appear on the Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) watch list for potentially discriminatory hiring practices. Straits Times examines the MP’s words.
