“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.
