#532 - Migrant Worker in Loan Shark Case Leaves Singapore & SIA Passengers Lament New Safety Measures

This week, PM Wong waded into the case of the migrant worker who was fired for his involvement in a loan shark harassment case, when he wrote a letter to ICA and MOM about the issue. However, the appeal didn’t work, and the migrant worker, Mr Sharif, was forced to leave Singapore this morning. What was the entire fiasco really about? Elsewhere, passengers and crew of Singapore Airlines  have come forward with gripes about SIA’s new safety measures after last week’s turbulence incident. Why are people already calling these new safety measures an “overreaction”?
