For the second time in eight months, Singapore Premier League (SPL) club Warriors FC have had their work pass privileges suspended by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) for violating the Employment Act.
This means the Warriors, who have won the league a record nine times although their last championship was in 2014, are barred from making any foreign hires until the suspension is lifted. Their current imports are not affected.
