Nearly 240 migrant workers owed two months' wages get state support

Close to 240 migrant workers who have not received their salaries for two months are receiving coordinated support from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), authorities said. The workers are being assisted across multiple fronts, including securing temporary accommodation, accessing job-matching services, and filing formal salary claims with relevant authorities. The intervention underscores Singapore's commitment to protecting vulnerable migrant workers facing financial hardship due to employment disputes. "No worker should face this alone," a statement from the authorities conveyed, highlighting the government's stance on worker welfare. The MOM and NTUC are working jointly to ensure affected workers receive immediate relief while their salary disputes are resolved through formal channels. Workers requiring assistance can reach out to MOM's foreign worker management division or approach NTUC representatives for guidance on available support schemes and claim procedures.
