[TD="class: msgtxt"][h=2]Number of Employment Passes & Certificates Issued[/h]
by Yaw Shin Leong on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:02pm
Below is the question I filed for written answer on the number of employment passes and certificates issued. (21st Nov 2011)
Mr Yaw Shin Leong: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Manpower for each of the past five years from 2006 to 2010 inclusive, how many of the following passes/certificates have been issued: (i) P1 Employment Pass; (ii) P2 Employment Pass; (iii) Q1 Employment Pass; (iv) Personalised Employment Pass; (v) S-Pass; and (vi) Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate.
Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam:
The table below provides the year-end stock of Employment Pass (P1, P2, Q1 and Personalised Employment Pass) and S Pass holders from 2006 to 2010. These figures include Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate[1] (EPEC) holders who have converted their EPEC to an Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass.
EP and S Pass
06: 110,000
07: 143,000
08: 188,000
09: 197,000
10: 240,000
EP
06: 81,000
07: 99,000
08: 114,000
09: 115,000
10: 142,000
S Pass
06: 29,000
07: 44,000
08: 74,000
09: 82,000
10: 98,000
[1] The EPEC is a certificate which indicates that the holder is likely to qualify for an Employment Pass. It is not a work pass. The EPEC holder would still need to apply for a work pass from MOM to be able to stay in Singapore to work.
