Malaysians seeking lucrative Singapore jobs warned to be wary of scams​

  • Multiple reports of people being duped by false promises of work led to the warning from Dr Azfar Mohamad Mustafar, Malaysia’s envoy to the city state
  • He also touched upon how a planned special economic zone could increase congestion and Singapore’s plans to expand Woodlands Checkpoint
 
Malaysian jobseekers trying to capitalise on a high currency exchange rate by landing lucrative jobs in neighbouring Singapore have been warned against scams by their country’s envoy to the city state.


Malaysia’s High Commissioner to Singapore Dr Azfar Mohamad Mustafar advised jobseekers to be vigilant following reports of multiple people being duped by false promises of work.


“Some of them [Malaysians] may be afraid to lodge reports as they could have entered the country through unofficial channels,” he said on Saturday during a special Lunar New Year open house gathering for foreign dignitaries and guests at his official residence. “It is better for them to apply directly to the companies or via official channels.”
 
“So far, Malaysian workers can be described as one of the most disciplined among foreign workers in Singapore,” he said.


Asked about interest in the two countries’ proposed special economic zone, Azfar said there has been a lot of excitement and people were waiting for the details.
 
“If one country becomes too efficient, it will lead to congestion in the other. So it is better for both countries to work together to ensure smooth connectivity without bottlenecks.”


Separately, Azfar said that Singapore had submitted a proposal to acquire two plots of freehold land measuring 0.9 hectares (2.2 acres) for the expansion of the country’s Woodlands checkpoint.


“They submitted a proposal last year to acquire it at the market rate. We have several plots of land in Singapore, which is under the Office of the Federal Commissioner of Lands,” he said.
