Will not stop hiring South Asian workers: Singapore

Singapore: Singapore today said it will not stop the hiring of foreign workers from South Asia - most of whom come from India and Bangladesh - following the city-state's worst outbreak of violence in over



“Many of them (south Asian workers) denounce the actions, many of them are shocked at what happened, and this is not an action that represents the community. I think it would be wrong for us to conclude that, and it would be inappropriate for us as a nation to look at it that way,” the minister said.  

Tan pointed out that South Asian workers have contributed significantly to Singapore and have “made a difference to our lives” in their own ways.

“In very meaningful ways, they are earning a living, working hard, and they are very much part of our community even though they are foreigners,” Tan said.  

Tan also shared some perceptions foreign workers have about working in Singapore.
