Announcement and status
MOM arrested ten subjects on 31 March 2026, including directors and employees of five construction companies. Forty-one other subjects assisted investigations, and CPF contributions involving another group of more than 40 people were examined.
Case details and examples
The companies allegedly paid CPF for locals who did not work there and used the inflated quota for foreign-pass applications. These groups are reported separately; the release does not supply a combined unique-person total.
Official advisory and follow-up
False work-pass declarations can attract up to S$20,000 or two years or both upon conviction. People supplying identity details to support false CPF arrangements may also be prosecuted; work-pass privileges may be suspended. Report CPF from companies where no work was performed through the official channel.
