Regulation 22

Any work pass which is in force immediately before 9th November 2012 shall be deemed to be a work pass issued under these Regulations.

Where an application for a work pass has been made to the Controller before 9th November 2012, no work pass has been issued in respect of such application by that date and the application is not withdrawn, the application shall be dealt with by the Controller of Work Passes as if it were an application for a work pass made under these Regulations.

Where an appeal has been made to the Minister in connection with any work pass issued under the revoked Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations before 9th November 2012, the appeal has not been dealt with or disposed of by that date and the appeal is not withdrawn, the appeal shall continue to be dealt with in accordance with the revoked Regulations as if these Regulations had not been enacted.

These Regulations shall not apply to any inquiry, investigation or other proceeding commenced before 9th November 2012 and the revoked Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations shall continue to apply to that inquiry, investigation or proceeding as if these Regulations had not been enacted.

Nothing in this regulation shall be taken as prejudicing section 16 of the Interpretation Act 1965.
