为缓解人手短缺问题 政府放宽工作准证和S准证申请
据英语媒体《亚洲新闻台》报导，为了缓解各行业面临的人手短缺问题，政府将放宽所有领域的新工作准证和S准证申请。
据了解，人力部和卫生部、国家发展部及贸工部商讨，决定对上述准证的新申请程序进行调整。
报导也指建筑领域的雇主已面对工人短缺问题，该领域特别仰赖印度籍和孟加拉籍工友；至于饮食业也面临人手困难。
此前，人力部只处理冠病疫情低风险国家的准证新申请。其中包括中国。
不过，人力部称本地疫情趋向稳定，且具备“强大的公共卫生措施”和检测能力。为此，仍有空间“容纳”（accommodate）工作准证持有者，以缓解人手短缺问题。
为此，如今当局正处理所有受批准的来源国之准证申请，也允许一些国家或地区的工友，在本地特定领域工作。
不过，申请者和雇主仍需遵守现有入境管制措施，包括提前获得许可、出发前检测等，入境后也要遵守居家通知。
