During our e-Meet People Session, one case reminded me of the challenge the government has in balancing the importance of border access restrictions with the needs of our companies and people.
A resident has a foreign skilled worker who just renewed his S Pass. As his elderly mother was critically ill in the Philippines, he went back to visit her. Now that he wants to return to Singapore, the employer had to book an entry slot. However, the MOM portal has no available slot even till mid July.
The company supports three main ground handling companies for SIA, SATS and dnata in terms of repair and maintenance service, renovation work in airport terminal building and also recovery and breakdown service within Changi Airport.
My volunteer and I helped this resident write an appeal to MOM to allow the S Pass holder to return in order not to affect the airport operations.
Do you think MOM should open a slot and allow the worker to return soon?
