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。
