Singapore
A LOCAL startup calling itself a social enterprise stands accused of owing some S$20,000 for months to freelancers and a boutique public relations firm, bringing into focus the risks that gig workers and small firms face in chasing fees from fledging companies that have no clear business model.
BT understands that Imaginem, a so-billed social enterprise, allegedly owed payment to several media freelancers. A WhatsApp group had been formed among those saying they are owed payment from Imaginem.
