SINGAPORE: From Sep 19, employers in the construction, marine shipyard and process sectors will have to provide proof of acceptable accommodation before they are allowed to bring their new non-Malaysian work permit holders into Singapore, the Ministry of Manpower said on Monday .The move comes as the number of work permit holders in the construction, marine shipyard and process sectors sits above pre-pandemic levels.
At the same time, the government has been working with the industry to increase dormitory bed supply. Proof of acceptable accommodation should be in the form of tenancy or rental agreements, or contracts with accommodation providers."Onboard centre bookings will also be checked to ensure that the workers registered have had their accommodation details verified," the ministry added.MOM advised employers to factor the time needed for the checks into their recruitment plans.
"Employers who bring their workers into Singapore without the required proof of accommodation may face suspension of their work pass privileges," MOM said.
