In the construction industry, there are illegal migrant workers who exploit our economy by offering build services to unsuspecting locals.
These illegal contractors may not even have the necessary licence, work pass or even skills to work in the country. Yet, they have no qualms about advertising their services, especially on social media platforms.
The situation they have created provides them with an unfair advantage. For me, as a local contractor, I have to pay rent and provide wages to my employees, as well as abide by the law. These freelancers, on the other hand, can bypass everything and focus solely on their services.
I call on the authorities to take prompt action on these errant contractors.
