Many injured workers report that company representatives accompany them to doctor appointments, and influence doctors' actions. Here's one case and its implications.
MOM says our earlier article was "misleading". We reject that characterisation. We think MOM's response was what's misleading.
A tooth was chipped and cracked. The saga begins. Ten months on, the worker still hasn't received proper treatment.
We poll three workers about their experiences at Singapore hospitals. They speak well of the professionalism and efficiency they see.
A domestic worker was savaged by the family dog, leaving permanent injuries. MOM has no system for getting justice for her. She's on her own and needs a lawyer.
The Work Injury Compensation Act is meant to provide a simplified route for work injury claims. What's the reality like, post 2019 when MOM delegated the processing of claims to insurance companies?

Over two and half months, our intern observed how common complaints were by injured workers about not receiving their medical leave wages. She reflects on what she heard from the men.
The doctor said he had to operate, telling the patient not to worry about the cost since the employer should have insurance cover. "What?" she said. "I didn't know."
