    THE Singapore Society of Remisiers (SOR), which had appealed to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) for help to reinstate the lunch break for the stock market, has been told that the ministry is unable to address its concerns.

    "As remisiers are self-employed agents and as there is no employer-employee relationship with the Singapore Exchange Ltd, we wish to inform you that the ministry is unable to address your concerns under the Employment Act," said MOM.
