The only claims against Pritam Singh, Kenneth Foo and Chua Zhi Hon are in respect of the appointment of LST Architects without due tender.

Indonesian domestic worker Endang (not her real name) worked for 10 years for her employer and was only paid twice for the entire period. The payments were not given to her directly but remitted to her family. She was not given a day off and disallowed from owning a mobile phone.
