社论:有10亿元预算 尚穆根需解释为何移民局仍人手不足?

昨日,内政部长尚穆根告诉我们,我国的移民与关卡局面对人手不足问题,在面对年末佳节期间,每天出入境关卡的客流量比平时增加10巴仙,而且还必须增加500余关卡人员加班。 但即便如此,兀兰和大士关卡堵塞和交通混乱的投诉仍不断增加。 尚穆根指出,移民局人手仍不足,因为关卡人员只能由新加坡人来担任。但他辩解,人手短缺并非只在移民局出现,许多部门也面临同样问题。 为了应对比平时更多的通关客流量,500多名关卡人员必须加班工作,在佳节期间,只有10巴仙的职员获准拿假。 针对一些柜台关闭的情况,尚穆根解释职员都是根据实际的需求进行部署,职员根本没有闲暇翘脚,他们可能被调派到人流量更高的岗位,长时间工作。 往好的方面想,显示移民局关卡人员为了确保通关国人和旅客的安全,已经连日不休坚守岗位工作。 我们敬重并感谢这些坚守岗位的关卡人员,为了旅客的安全,他们已尽最大的努力,甚至必须牺牲陪伴家人的时间,加班应付年末出入境人潮。 但是,如果我们知道2018年拨款到移民局的预算,高达10亿1416万2300元,还比2017财政年预算多出近两亿元,尚穆根必须向民众解释,何以无法解决移民局人手不足的问题? 预算比去年增加了,理应绩效表现该有所提升才对,反之,民众却要面对更堵塞的通关情况,有者还要等通关在车上忍尿超过八小时! 看来尚穆根有必要向民众交代,移民局如何使用今年度超过10亿元的预算?为何关卡人员人手仍不足?
