王心妍女士詢問了人力部長：
（a）人力部是否計劃將殘障界代表或新加坡協助殘障者自立局（SG Enable）納入職場公平勞資政委員會（Tripartite Committee on Workplace Fairness，簡稱TCWF）；
（b）如果不是，將採取什麼措施確保殘障人士的聲音得到充分代表以確保工作場所公平。
許寶琨醫生（代表人力部長）：工作場所公平三方委員會已於2023年8月完成了其工作並發布了最終建議。我想向議員保證，該委員會已廣泛徵求意見，包括新加坡協助殘障者自立局和各種代表殘疾人士社群的團體。
委員會考慮了反饋意見，建議禁止工作場所對殘疾人的歧視，並支持願意僱傭殘疾人士的僱主。委員會還建議發布三方諮詢意見，關於提供合理的配套措施，即調整工作或工作環境，使殘疾員工能夠勝任工作。三方合作夥伴在制定此諮詢意見時將繼續與各種社群團體和新加坡協助殘障者自立局進行互動。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Miss Rachel Ong asked the Minister for Manpower (a) whether the Ministry plans to include representatives from the disability sector or SG Enable in the Tripartite Committee on Workplace Fairness; and (b) if not, what will be done to ensure that the voices of persons with disabilities are adequately represented in ensuring workplace fairness.
The Senior Minister of State for Manpower (Dr Koh Poh Koon) (for the Minister for Manpower): The Tripartite Committee on Workplace Fairness has completed its work and issued its final recommendations in August 2023. I want to assure the Member that the Committee had consulted widely, including with SG Enable and various community groups representing persons with disabilities.
The Committee took into account the feedback and recommended prohibiting workplace discrimination on the basis of disability and supporting employers who wish to hire persons with disabilities. The Committee also recommended issuing a Tripartite Advisory on providing reasonable accommodations, which are adjustments to the job or the work environment that make it possible for employees with disabilities to perform their jobs. The tripartite partners will continue to engage the various community groups and SG Enable when developing this advisory.
