They exist solely to maximize profits for owners & senior management, even if junior staff may be unfairly treated or exploited. They will merely hire the cheapest & least trained staff, and provide the lowest basic safety level, that the company can get away with as stipulated in the law.<br /><br />Companies have to do this, as S'pore govt operates on the lowest bidding tender system.
