SINGAPORE : The Manpower Ministry (MOM) has warned the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) that it will take action against it if the organisation makes another false declaration to the Controller of Work Permits.

Previous investigations by the MOM showed that NKF claimed to be the direct employer of five foreign workers who were employed by other companies.

The ministry has asked NKF to review its internal processes to prevent a repeat of a similar incident.

The NKF Board assures the MOM that it had put in place control procedures to do so. MOM's stern warning to NKF follows the Attorney-General's Chamber's decision not to prosecute the NKF. - CNA /ls
