casinos. As it might increase problem

Mr Lim Hng Kiang, Minister for trade &
Industry, went ahead with the idea and now

high class hotel to cater to more business

work
• By having the Marina Bay Resorts which
needed a huge labour force to sustain it,
with different tasks for entertainment, sales,
etc, within the Resorts. Employers had to
employ many workers with different
capabilities. Thus, they had to pay a
reasonable wage to their employees so that
foreign & local talents will be allured to
the job opportunities.
12. • By working hard and producing excellent
services, workers will in turn be given
bonuses or pay increase, raising the
efficiency and competency in the Resorts.
• Hence, reiterating the principle
governance, “Work for reward, Reward
for work”.
