Rights groups, charities and medical experts had flagged the potential for mass infection among the more than 300,000 migrant workers living in often cramped and unsanitary conditions in the wealthy country of 5.7 million. Moreover, measures introduced recently to confine tens of thousands of workers to packed quarters may increase the risk of infection spread, they added.
The situation in the migrant dormitories highlights the different standards applied to the mainly Bangladeshi and Indian manual workers whose labour has helped build the glitzy, modern city-state, and the rest of the population. HealthServe ― which offers consultations for S$8 , compared with around S$50 at government clinics ― said it had to reduce services by 90 per cent and close two of its three clinics.
Singapore has now ordered residents to wear masks in public due to rising evidence of asymptomatic transmission. The government has now ordered the rest of the country to stay home and maintain at least a metre distance from others if out for essential needs like food shopping.
Singapore doesnt give s shit about labour from Malaysia and similar countries. Ofcoz they knew what was going to happen. Now they will try to send them back or do us a favour. ( Dont try this at home. Parliament only)
