SINGAPORE: The Government will build new foreign worker dormitories, and refit unused state properties as part of plans to reduce the current density in the dormitories.
Unused state properties, including former schools and vacant factories, will be fitted out temporarily to house about 25,000 workers, and the authorities are talking to contractors to build more construction temporary quarters, which are makeshift dormitories that keep the workers near their worksite.
These specifications will look into the design, facilities, management and regulation of these dormitories, and will factor in social interaction and disease response needs. Some of the present set of standards that will be improved as part of a pilot include increasing the living space per resident from a minimum of 4.5 sqm per resident, including shared facilities, to at least 6 sqm, not including shared facilities.
How about the Serangoon Gardens one?
Singapore is not that big. We don’t need that yellow circle for goodness sake.
FW dorm built by FW for FWs.
It’s easy to rezone and build these dorms on available land, but are the agencies working together to ensure the surrounding infrastructure is up to par?
Thank u to whoever are building these new migrant workers dormitories by yr end
Sometimes, it takes a catastrophe to drive a change, just like the welfare of bus drivers some years back.
