President Lim Han Cheong said that the work injury compensation system has long been at the heart of balancing the interests of employees and employers. However, with the development of various industries and the emergence of new forms of work, this system must keep pace with the times, ensuring fairness, transparency, and sustainability. 'A well-functioning system can build trust, improve compliance, and boost productivity, benefitting everyone.'
He stressed that today’s dialogue provides an open platform for policymakers, regulators, insurance companies, legal experts, and business leaders to exchange ideas. Through sharing views, it is expected that practical measures for improvement can be found, and coordination among all sectors can be strengthened. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce feels honored to support and participate in this collaboration.
President Lim stated, 'We believe progress in this area will not only strengthen the workplace but also reinforce society’s commitment to responsibility and mutual support.' He looks forward to today’s discussions yielding constructive results and having a profound impact on society.
