马来西亚前任原产业部长郭素沁,呼吁马国政府须尽快处理或协助数千名仍待在新加坡的马籍员工。

郭素沁表示,自狮城宣布“阻断设施”以来,不少马劳人在新加坡,她关注这些客工在狮城的情况与困境。

《南华早报》 也曾报导,在这期间,有马籍员工被要求休无薪假,且禁止他们从事任何兼职工作,同时,马国卫生总监诺希山也呼吁他们留在新加坡减少境外移入的病例,是他们陷入两难的窘境。

随着客工确诊病例暴增,也开始引起许多马劳的焦虑。郭素沁表示,如今处境,不仅马劳进退两难,也无法为他们提供任何住宿与收入,在种种艰难的环境下,郭素沁认为马国政府有义务协助他们,保障他们的福祉。

郭素沁呼吁狮城政府应该为这些客工作合理安排,考量这些客工同样对新加坡作出贡献,应同时考虑给予相应的福利,如为他们提供免费的检测,一旦发现呈阴性结果即颁发证明,让他们能够回国。

与此同时,郭素沁也促请马国政府应该立即协同外交部、卫生部及内政部成立专案小组,协助与调查返国的马劳。
