    CONCERNS have been raised that the moves to tighten employment conditions for Dependant's Pass (DP) holders could hurt startups, underutilise dependants' skills and contributions, and dampen openness to talent.

    Elena Chow, founder of startup talent consultancy ConnectOne, told The Business Times that the changes have created "a lot of buzz, and some concerns" in the startup community since their announcement.
