MOM will take up issue with employers if workers are not paid: Lawrence Wong, Singapore News & Top Stories - The Straits Times
Mr Gan said some migrant workers may decide to return to their home countries as they prefer to be
reunited with their families.
While help is being given to facilitate their repatriation, this also depends on whether the migrant workers
are allowed to return or whether they have met the requirements of their home country before returning.
Despite these factors, Mr Wong said more and more cleared workers have been returning to the workplace.
This ties in with the timeline for all dormitories to be declared clear of Covid-19, which was announced by
MOM on Wednesday.
While the dormitories have been cleared, there will be a bit of a time lag before all workers are able to
resume work, said Mr Wong.
