Singapore

TO ease the labour crunch in the construction, marine shipyard and process (CMP) sectors, the entry requirements for vaccinated new work permit holders with in-principle approval will be streamlined from Mar 13.

In a joint media statement on Sunday (Mar 6), the Building and Construction Authority, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Economic Development Board said there is scope to streamline the entry requirements as the Covid-19 situation improves.
