2024年4月3日，新加坡内政部长兼律政部长尚穆根在国会上关于新加坡人口贩运情况和遏制犯罪措施的最新情况的发言。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：
国会副议长迪舒沙（荷兰-武吉知马集选区）提问内政部长：
（a）内政部可否介绍一下新加坡人口贩卖——包括劳动力贩卖和性贩卖的情况？
（b）为了遏制犯罪，下一步将采取怎样的措施？同时，他还询问内政部长，当前采用了哪些措施来甄别和逮捕新加坡人口贩卖背后的主使？
新加坡内政部长兼律政部长尚穆根：我们已经在边境采取措施来侦查人口贩卖活动。各种机构也联合社区伙伴如非政府组织，提高人们对于人口贩卖和可靠报告渠道的认识。在人口贩卖受害者可能活动的区域，新加坡人力部（MOM）和新加坡警察局（SPF）也定期开展了执法检查行动。
一线工作人员都接受了人口贩卖法和人口贩卖犯罪特征的培训，因此，他们能够有效地侦查和处置人口贩卖案件，新加坡人口贩卖情况是可控的。
在过去五年里，人力部和警察局已经联手调查了有迹象表明存在人口贩卖的129宗案件。其中两起案件被发现证据确凿，并根据《防止人口贩运法》（PHTA）起诉。其中一起案件最终根据《防止人口贩运法》被定罪，另一起案件则根据《妇女宪章》被定罪。调查未发现这些案件中有有组织犯罪的证据。
以下是英文质询内容：
Mr Christopher de Souza asked the Minister for Home Affairs (a) whether the Ministry can provide an update on the human trafficking situation in Singapore including labour trafficking and sex trafficking; and (b) what further steps are being taken to deter such offences.
Mr Christopher de Souza asked the Minister for Home Affairs whether he can provide an update on the measures that have been taken to identify and apprehend the masterminds behind human trafficking in Singapore.
Mr K Shanmugam: We have put in place measures at the border to try to detect human trafficking activity.
The various agencies also work with community partners, such as non-governmental organisations, to raise awareness of human trafficking and the available reporting channels.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) regularly conduct enforcement checks in areas where victims of human trafficking may be operating. Frontline officers undergo training on anti-trafficking laws and human trafficking indicators, so that they can effectively detect and respond to human trafficking cases.
The human trafficking situation in Singapore is under control. In the past five years, MOM and SPF have investigated 129 cases where signs of human trafficking were detected. Two cases were found to be substantiated and prosecuted under the Prevention of Human Trafficking Act (PHTA). One case was eventually convicted under the PHTA and the other case under the Women's Charter. The investigations did not find evidence of organised crime in these cases.
