[SINGAPORE] The government will continue to monitor closely the overall number of foreign workers here and the impact on the communities that they interact with, said Acting Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin.
The authorities are also looking at ways to enhance the overall management of their well-being, he told Parliament yesterday.
Mr Tan said last month's Little India riot - the worst public order disturbance in the Republic in more than four decades - would not have a material impact on the government's plans to ease the growth of the foreign worker population to more sustainable levels.
