Companies affected by Malaysia travel restrictions to receive S$50 allowance per worker for 14 nights

"MOM has been working with tripartite partners to support the affected companies. If they need their workers to stay in Singapore, the way to help them is to find suitable accommodation," said Ms Teo at the press conference.Ms Teo said that affected workers should first try to stay with friends, family and colleagues who can accommodate them, and if not - hotels or dormitories.

"I’m confident that by the end of the day, any one of the affected workers that need to stay in Singapore will be able to find suitable accommodation."Companies will be given the time to assess what they want to do in terms of their manpower staffing and also to work out"sustainable arrangements", said Ms Teo.

"I think if we were facing a similar situation we would have to consider very stringent measures as well," he added. READ: Malaysia bars citizens from going overseas, foreigners from entering the country for 2 weeks to curb COVID-19 spread - PM Muhyiddin

Singaporeans must vto this gov who only thinks for foreigners but not our locals😡

So what will they do for Singaporeans who dont get to work as per normal or have their wages frozen/cut? Where is all this money coming from? $700 per person Thats way more than the $300 being distributed to Singaporeans

While singaporeans suffer at $10 an hour jobs

Can singaporean that lost their job gets $50 also until we got our job? Pls...

Feel proud to reside and work in SG. Thank you v much on behalf of my fellow MYsians.

Well done. It’s the least we can do for dear Malaysians who will be leaving their families behind to support our daily ops in Singapore.
