Channelnewsasia.com: "Government says law to protect whistle-blowers not yet needed
By Farah Abdul Rahim, Channel NewsAsia



The government has said that legislation to protect whistle-blowers is not necessary at present.

Minister of State for Community Development, Youth and Sports Yu-Foo Yee Shoon said this was a larger issue going beyond the charity sector, and such a move may build distrust among voluntary welfare organisations.

Speaking in Parliament, she said the boards of VWOs should instead continue to strengthen internal controls. "
