针对近来客工宿舍频传企图自杀事件,人力部声称,和往年相比客工自杀率没上升,当局与非政府组织合作,为这些客工提供更好的精神支持。

人力部解释,前线保障支援小组(FAST)会积极留意这些可供是否需要辅导。根据记录,企图自杀者可能基于家庭问题、或家中有变故,加上疫情造成返国延误,而形成压力。

就在本周日,就传出双溪加株环道一座宿舍内,一名36岁客工割颈自杀,所幸获救。

7月31日,在加基武吉的The Leo宿舍曾发生客工企图跳楼事故;7月24日和22日,也个别传出中国籍客工闹跳楼事件;同样在24日,一名37岁印度籍客工身亡;5月,27岁孟加拉籍义工倒在克兰芝工厂改造宿舍内。

4月23日,还有一名46岁印度籍男子,倒卧在邱德拔医院内的楼梯口。
