Four construction sole proprietorships allegedly obtained passes without employing the workers. Registrants received monthly payments, while foreigners were told to find their own jobs.

The source lists imprisonment, fines and possible caning where the statutory multiple-count threshold is met. It reports charges rather than conviction. A pass application requires a genuine operating business and actual employment need.
