Ian Lim, Head of Labour and Employment at TSMP Law Corporation, was quoted in the New Paper on 24 August 2020 for an article on workers who were abruptly retrenched.

He said there is greater awareness of the obligations of employers during retrenchments. With companies having to retrench workers in larger numbers, he said it is unsurprising some may not have been able to put as much attention into tailoring individual conversations. But employers should let workers know about retrenchments as soon as they can and explain the reasons.
