On the labour front, inspectors of the Labour Department visited 1,585 establishments to weed out any illegal immigrants who may be working there and to check that employers fulfil their legal obligation of keeping proper records of their employees.
A total of 4,365 employees had their proof of identity checked.
Fifteen establishments were found not able to provide a record of employees for inspection.
The spokesman reminded employers that they could be fined up to $250,000 and jailed for up to three years if they were found to be employing illegal immigrants.
