因雇主不协助返国，客工闹跳楼 人力部：经协调客工已于今日返国
针对网传榜鹅S11客工宿舍（也称PPT Lodge 1B），有客工闹跳楼事件，人力部今日（23日）中午作出回应，经调查获悉有关客工是自掏腰包买回乡机票，但是当得知雇主不愿协助他回国后，感到情绪激动。
上述客工所住的宿舍楼层，在本月4日已结束排查冠病。人力部称，客工若有意回国，可与雇主讨论，但相信双方没有讨论沟通，结果起争执。
当事件发生，前线保障支援小组（FAST）团队也立即介入，到场安抚有关客工情绪，并联系他的雇主以解决纠纷。至于雇主后来经过劝说，也同意协助其客工，在今日返国。
人力部则在文告中劝谕，客工若有劳资纠纷应避免让自己危害自身性命安全，鼓励客工拨打客工中心热线 6536 2692，或向人力部反馈。
