A former director at confectionery chain Twelve Cupcakes is the latest decision maker linked to the firm to be fined over offences involving underpaid staff.
Yvonne Ong Hwee Ming, now 49, who also used to be a teacher, admitted that she had allowed the firm to underpay its workers.
She was fined $20,000 in a district court yesterday after pleading guilty to four charges under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act involving nearly $20,000. Four other similar charges were considered during sentencing.
Ms Teo was also fined $65,000 in March after pleading guilty to 10 similar charges.
The Singaporean, who committed the offences in 2013 and 2014, is the elder sister of former radio DJ Daniel Ong Ming Yu, 45, who co-founded the company in 2011 with then wife, artiste Jaime Teo Chai-lin, 43.
In May this year, Mr Ong was fined $65,000 for failing to prevent Twelve Cupcakes from underpaying its foreign workers.
He pleaded guilty to 10 charges under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.
