Parliament on Wednesday (Jan 8) passed a Bill to protect workers against discrimination following a debate that spanned two days. Manpower minister Tan See Leng said in his opening speech on Tuesday that the Workplace Fairness Bill covers jobseekers and employers under five «protected characteristics».
