Maids to have mandatory day off & 24/7 helpline among other measures to support the wellbeing of foreign domestic workers — Gan Siow Huang
By the end of the year, foreign domestic workers in Singapore will be given a mandatory rest day and a 24/7 helpline, among other measures to help their wellbeing, said Minister of State for Manpower Gan Siow Huang said on Sunday (May 22).
In July last year, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) announced that employers would be mandated by the end of 2022 to give their FDWs one day off each month, which could not be compensated away with cash.

SCAM ALERT! 10 people lose over $70,000 from bank phishing scams, SPF shows how similar spoofed email addresses are to real ones
With at least 10 people losing more than S$70,000 to banking-related phishing scams in May, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) has advised the public to be cautious of such modus operandi. Scammers have been impersonating bank employees and targeting victims through phone calls and SMS messages said the police on Sunday (May 22).
The victims would receive calls from the bank telling them that their bank cards might have been compromised. The scammers then ask for the victim’s bank account information to help them resolve the issue. Once the victims give their bank account numbers and corresponding one-time passwords, the scammers gain access to siphon money out of the affected account.
