THE Singapore government does not plan to waive or reduce foreign worker levies despite calls from business leaders and MPs to do so in an economic environment that has already taken a battering from the coronavirus outbreak, the Republic's manpower minister said.
This comes a week after Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat unveiled a S$4 billion Stabilisation and Support Package during Budget 2020 to rescue businesses and workers that have been adversely affected by the outbreak.
