A construction company that housed its foreign workers in quarters with unhygienic conditions was fined $156,000 on Thursday.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said yesterday that Kay Lim Construction & Trading also abetted four other companies in housing their foreign workers in the same quarters.

The company had earlier pleaded guilty for failing to update the housing addresses of the foreign workers in the Online Foreign Worker Address Service.

MOM has barred Kay Lim from employing foreign workers.

RAT-INFESTED

Investigations revealed that in 2015, Kay Lim had housed 60 foreign workers in rat-infested quarters.

Following an inspection, it complied with an MOM order to improve the hygiene and living conditions of its existing construction site temporary quarters.
