Don't even need ceca, working from home has proven to lots of companies that telecommuting is totally feasible.

Companies can now confidently contract tasks to a selection of cheap quality workers anywhere in the world. Much cheaper than having them apply for whatever work visa and paying cpf, rent, medical etc. No need to care about any employment laws or singaporean foreigner ratio.

To any business, workers are nothing but a necessary cost burden. Now this cost can be reduced drastically and profits can be maximised. Makes me wanna start a business right now!!
