SINGAPORE - Former radio DJ Daniel Ong Ming Yu, 45, was fined $65,000 on Friday (May 21) for failing to prevent Twelve Cupcakes from underpaying its foreign workers.
Ong had co-founded the confectionery chain in 2011 with then-wife artiste, Jaime Teo Chai-lin, 43.
He pleaded guilty to 10 charges under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.
Another 14 similar charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.
Teo was fined $65,000 in March after pleading guilty to 10 similar charges.
