Eleven employers penalised from 2015 to 2021 for hiring "phantom workers": MOM

Eleven employers were penalised from 2015 to 2021 for hiring "phantom workers". This is where a firm inflates its foreign worker quota by making CPF contributions to locals who don't actually work for the firm. The tally is a fraction of the 600-plus reports the Manpower Ministry received annually over that period.
