Abstract

In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan discussed the need for Singapore to address some uncomfortable questions on migrant workers and to safeguard their wellbeing and interests as well as to protect the rest of the community. He opined that even as we attend to the first order of business to suppress the many Covid-19 clusters in the dormitories, there are broader questions for our society to address based on an honest and thorough appraisal. Assoc Prof Tan believes that a failure to do so might result in us merely tackling the symptoms, and not the causes, of the challenges associated with the large migrant worker population here.
