Centurion Corporation makes $290mil per year from dorms

[Confuseous]

It was reported in the media today that the government will pay for the increased costs incurred by dorm operators due to the dormitory lockdowns and stay-home notices imposed on some 300,000 foreign workers in Singapore (‘Govt to absorb added costs for dorm operators during circuit breaker‘, 12 May).

Due to such lockdowns, dorm operators reported that their utility bills have increased sharply. They also said that they have difficulties in finding manpower to support the sanitation and safe distancing measures required to be implemented in curtailing the spread of COVID-19 in dormitories.

Faced with complaints from dorm operators, the Manpower Ministry (MOM) under Minister Josephine Teo said yesterday (11 May) that it will offset the increase in operating costs for dorm operators.

All the extra costs incurred for manpower, cleaning, maintenance, utilities and infrastructure due to the dormitory lockdowns will be paid for by taxpayers. But MOM was quick to say that such support is only temporary and “in view of the ongoing Covid-19 infections in the dormitories”.

Dorm operators only need to provide receipts for their “business-as-usual” expenses as well as for the months that saw increased operating costs to get reimbursements from the government.

Didn't some retard in this forum say the government was overcharging dorm operators for dorms' land lease??

Now, oppies are saying the dorm operators are profiteering??

So who's really profiteering from the dorms? The government or the dorm operators?

If you say the dorm operators are making lots of money from operating the dorms, then it is clear that the land lease has been way too low.

It means that the dorms are clearly under regulated. Slap on more regulations to ensure public resources and funds will not be used to bail them out at the next viral outbreak.

Dorm operators playing victim here with sob stories.
Naive good-hearted sinkies trying to raise $1million for the banglas.
One week's rental collection of $5.5million will be more than what the gahmen
(aka we, the citizens of Singapore) will be paying them.

Someone already highlighted these dorm operators are all pap cronies
