SINGAPORE – A 46-year-old Thai construction worker died on Oct 30 after he was struck by a concrete mixer truck that was entering a work site in Marina East Drive. This is the seventh reported workplace death in the period between July and October. The worker was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic. The driver of the truck, a 41-year-old man, was arrested for causing death by a negligent act. The police and the SCDF said they were alerted to the incident at about 7.50am on Oct 30. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said the truck was entering the Marina East site for refuelling when it struck the Thai worker, who was employed by Koh Kock Leong Enterprise. The civil engineering and construction company is also the occupier of the work site. This means the company has control over the premises, which is being used to store excavated material. MOM said it has instructed the firm to stop all vehicular operations at the refuelling area where the fatal incident occurred.

SINGAPORE – Bosses here are overwhelmingly against implementing a four-day working week, according to a new survey. It found that only 5 per cent out of the 330 employers polled said they would instigate a four-day week, noting that it would improve employee well-being and job satisfaction. However, 79 per cent said they would not implement a four-day working week, while 16 per cent said they would not implement it, but would consider doing so. “A small handful of employers, mainly from the information and communications, general and support services, and finance industries had respectively indicated that they will do so,” said a spokesperson for the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), which commissioned the survey. The federation said a four-day working week involves employees working eight or nine hours a day – up to 36 hours a week – while receiving the same compensation as they would for a typical five-day working week, which usually entails staff working up to 44 hours.
