Former radio DJ Daniel Ong pleaded guilty to 10 charges under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.
The Straits Times
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.
The duo employed foreign workers in 2012, and seven of those workers were underpaid between 2013 and 2016.
Seven of them - four customer service executives, two sales executives and a pastry chef - were underpaid between 2013 and 2016.
For instance, the pastry chef, who was supposed to receive a monthly salary of $2,300 in mid-2014, received $1,600 instead and continued receiving a lower salary until mid-2016.
The other six foreigners also received less than what they were supposed to.
Teo was represented by lawyers Sunil Sudheesan and Diana Ngiam.
In mitigation, her lawyers told the court their client had never played a decision-making role in the human resources aspect of the business when she was a director of Twelve Cupcakes.
