Can I don’t pay for my S Pass or Work Permit holder’s medical expenses if he did not consult with one of the company-recognised doctors?

Q: Can I don’t pay for my S Pass or Work Permit holder’s medical expenses if he did not consult with one of the company-recognised doctors?

No. Under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act , employers must pay for the medical expenses of Work Pass holders. This ensures that the bills of migrant workers do not remain unpaid and get passed on to our tax-payers. That would be unfair to the society at large.
