Almost 900 migrant worker dormitories to be upgraded from 2026 to 2030
Nearly 900 migrant worker dormitories will be upgraded from next year to 2030. It's part of Singapore's push to raise living standards and strengthen support for workers, following the COVID-19 pandemic. There are two key milestones: Hitting the interim standards by 2030 and the new standards by 2040. For example, each worker now needs to have at least 3.6 sq m of living space. Previously, this number was estimated at 3.5 sq m and it needs to go up to 4.2 sq m or more by 2040. Caitlin Ng finds out how these improvements are taking shape and what more is being done.
