Just visited a listed HR company in Singapore for work. Business is very good, and they need a lot of personal hygiene supplies because they got a lot of postings to fulfill for Healthcare sector.

The HR company is also providing lodging and basic hygiene products for incoming China workers. They have a lot of industrial and office positions to fulfill but Malaysia in MCO now. Moreover, HR company paid $4000 for quarantine but Malaysians went job-hopping after quarantine. As COVID situation in China is not serious, looks like we will be depending on more Chinese PMETs and many Singaporean boys will be marrying China ladies in the years ahead.
