SINGAPORE - A joint survey commissioned by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and Migrant Workers' Centre (MWC) showed that foreign workers are generally satisfied with working in Singapore.
The key findings of the survey were highlighted by Minister for Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin in his speech at the MWC's sixth International Migrants Day event on Dec 7, where he penned his well wishes to migrant workers on a heart installation.
According to the statement from the MWC and MOM, the survey was conducted with some 3,500 Work Permit (WP) holders and 500 S Pass holders by an independent survey company between March and July this year.
This is the second survey of its kind done, the first being in 2011.
The survey found that about nine in 10 foreign workers (87.7 per cent of WP holders and 90.7 per cent of S Pass holders) were satisfied with working in Singapore.
A similar proportion (85.7 per cent of WP holders and 93.4 per cent of S Pass holders) would recommend Singapore as a place to work. Good pay, good working and living conditions, and sense of security were some commonly cited reasons. More than seven in 10 foreign workers (76.9 per cent of WP holders and 71.4 per centof S Pass holders) planned to continue working with their current employers after their contracts have expired.
But compared to 2011, foreign workers were less likely to be aware of certain employment laws, for instance, that they are not allowed to work for another employer other than the one specified in their WPs; and that they can claim compensation if they suffer permanent disabilities due to work accidents. They were also less likely to receive a physical record of salary payments.
