我国驻美大使:处理客工宿舍疫情不尽理想,惟政府决心吸取教训

我国驻美大使米尔普(Ashok Kumar Mirpuri)表示,纵使我国在应对大量的客工宿舍感染问题不尽理想,但政府决心吸取教训,并将在疫情结束后进行全面检讨。

日前,针对我国处理客工宿舍的课题,自由新闻工作者韩俐颖曾投书美国时政杂志《外交政策》(Foreign Policy),批评政府以“功利主义,非人性化”的角度在处理客工宿舍问题,并列举部分措施例如将部分客工宿舍以“封锁”(lockdown)形容;部分客工也曾投诉房间难以忍受的闷热;宿舍内的膳食问题等。

称政府关心客工福利

随后米尔普也致函至《外交政策》的总编辑回应此事,米尔普阐述,文章所指存在扭曲事实。政府向来致力于关心客工的福利,例如在隔离期间为客工提供膳食和网络服务,甚至在斋戒月期间,穆斯利客工能够在黎明前取得食物,让他们可以准时进行宗教活动。

此外,政府亦采取三管齐下的策略,即一,采取社交距离措施;二,安排医护人员到现场援助;三,对客工实施检测。另一方面,政府向雇主提供支援,让客工能够持续获得工资,并作出安排让他们能够汇钱给家人。

事实上,外籍客工也认可和感谢我国所作的努力;驻外使节也认为,我国控制客工宿舍疫情的举措透明。

我国驻美国大使馆在网站发布米尔普里的信函,并指《外交政策》拒绝刊登有关信函内容。
