First Government-owned migrant workers housing to be ready by early 2026
The first government-owned and built dormitory for migrant workers is expected to open its doors in early 2026. It is built with enhanced features and adheres to a set of higher standards which existing dorms are required to meet by 2040. It is part of the Manpower Ministry's efforts to improve the living conditions of workers and pandemic preparedness as COVID-19 brought to light severe lapses in dorm conditions. Richa Mathew walks us through what a unit at Tukang dorm will look like.Â
