During a recent debate in Parliament, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Manpower Shawn Huang told lawmakers that the Manpower Ministry has not seen any cases of migrant domestic workers run into legal trouble when they seek help. The minister said the government keeps close tabs on the legal well‑being of home‑based helpers and has robust support systems in place. According to Huang, workers who turn to the ministry for advice or resolution of disputes report no problems or delays.
The issue of legal safety for migrant domestic workers has been a point of concern for many parents and advocacy groups. While the ministry’s track record is strong, officials in the forum highlighted that workers still need clear guidelines and easy access to legal resources. Shawn Huang urged Parliament to continue backing new policies that protect helpers from exploitation and give them confidence when they need legal help.
In short: the Manpower Ministry’s track record shows no reported legal incidents involving migrant domestic workers when they ask for assistance. The government remains committed to keeping home‑based helpers safe, protected, and supported.
