健康检测和安排住宿 马国客工可继续在狮城工作
国务资政兼国家安全统筹部长张志贤,昨日(19日)与马来西亚国防部长依斯迈通话,双方同意在马国行动管制期间,在获得妥善健康检测和住宿下,马国工作准证持有者仍可留在新加坡工作。
新加坡外交部今日(20日)发文告,指新马两位部长讨论两国共同防疫、以及减少对企业和客工生计干扰的安排事宜。
与此同时,依斯迈向张志贤保证,马国将协调马国食品可顺利通关两地关卡,双方将确保陆路关卡的双边商品运输便利。
与此同时,新马也同意在防疫特别工作委员会下,成立三个工作小组,分别协调人员流动、货品运输和陆路关卡运作的课题。
马国的行动管制令从本月18日起至31日,为期14日,以期防堵疫情扩散。迄今马国已有900例确诊病例。
马国慕尤丁宣布上述措施后,令不少马国客工措手不及,连夜从马国赶回狮城,不少人不得不拖家带小,或拖着行李走过长提入境我国,避免“锁国”后坐困马国不得出境。有者甚至一时间找不到住宿,只得在地铁站打地铺。
在马国行动管制令下,马国工作准证持有者不得自由离开马国,不过马籍永久居民(PR)以及持有长期探访准证(Long Term Visit Pass)者则不受影响。
