SINGAPORE (Bernama): Singapore will embark on a major building programme for new foreign worker dormitories that will see 60,000 bed spaces ready by end of this year, according to the republic’s National Development Minister Lawrence Wong on Tuesday (June 2).
"Our aim is to reduce the density of the dormitories, but also importantly to design new dormitories in a way that will be more resilient to public health risk particularly to the risk of pandemics as we learn from the Covid-19 (coronavirus) experience,” he said during a virtual press conference on the virus in the city on Tuesday.
