If dun like in laws, then better not marry. Marriage is never 2 different people getting together but two families.
The way it is going either the man get rid of her or the parents lose a son. The current trend is wife let own parents take care of kids while in laws seldom get to interact with own grandchildren. Maybe it one of the main reasons why divorce rate so high.
 
she got potential to grow into a pig if she not careful about what she eats or never exercise...
Excellent observation. But she is now at a stage where I like my women to be. Young, fair and meaty! The hokkiens call it "bak, bak":inlove: :biggrin:

COVID-19: Singapore stops accepting new entry applications for work pass holders from higher-risk countries
Workers needed for key strategic projects and infrastructural works will be allowed to enter, says the Manpower Ministry.

SINGAPORE: Singapore will not accept new entry applications for work pass holders from higher-risk countries and regions with immediate effect, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in several places around the world.
The new restriction excludes workers needed for key strategic projects and infrastructural works, who will be allowed to enter, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Friday (May 7).
Higher-risk countries and regions refer to all places except Australia, Brunei, mainland China, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
Work pass holders from higher-risk places who earlier received approval to enter Singapore before Jul 5 will no longer be allowed to do so - except for migrant domestic workers and those in the construction, marine shipyard and process industry.
“We will inform employers on when to re-apply for entry when the situation has stabilised and will prioritise them for entry approval then,” said MOM.
ARRIVALS RESCHEDULED FOR SOME APPROVED WORKERS
For migrant domestic workers, those who have already obtained approval will be allowed to enter Singapore, with the exception of some with planned arrivals before Jun 7.
They will be rescheduled to arrive in subsequent weeks, MOM said.
Similarly, workers in the construction, marine shipyard and process industry who have obtained approval will be allowed to enter. However, a small group with planned arrivals in June will be rescheduled to arrive in subsequent weeks.
“In this period of heightened alert, we are making changes to the entry of work pass holders who have earlier obtained approvals to arrive from higher-risk countries and regions from Tuesday, May 11 onwards,” MOM said.
"In view of the need to reschedule the entry of work pass holders who had already obtained approval to enter, we regret that we will not be accepting new entry applications from higher-risk countries/regions with immediate effect, except for workers needed for key strategic projects and infrastructural works who we will continue to allow entry."

These changes will not affect work pass holders already given approval or are seeking the green light to enter Singapore from lower-risk countries and regions under the Periodic Commuting Arrangement (PCA), Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) and other approved travel lanes, said MOM.
The ministry also said it will be reaching out to affected work pass holders and their employers about the changes to their entry dates.
“We seek the understanding and cooperation of work pass holders and their employers for these changes,” MOM said.
“They are necessary to enable workers to enter in a safe and calibrated manner, and mitigate the risk of COVID-19 importation.”

Singapore has been tightening COVID-19 border measures in recent days.
On Apr 22, it announced that all long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with recent travel history to India will not be allowed entry from Apr 24 due to the worsening COVID-19 situation there.
On May 2, this was extended to include those with recent travel history to Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Due to the restrictions, companies that have traditionally relied on migrant workers from India and Bangladesh are faced with a shortage of workers and are looking for alternative options.
Companies said project delays and disruptions are expected for the time being, while the Building and Construction Authority has promised support measures such as granting more flexibility for firms bringing in workers from China.

ST says SG home buyers disappointed over BTO delays due to entry restrictions on migrant workers - The Online Citizen Asia​

The Straits Times (ST) published an article today (23 May) highlighting how Singaporeans are getting disappointed and frustrated over delays in building their HDB build-to-order (BTO) flat.
ST told the story of an administrative assistant, Karen Lim, 49, who has waited for “5 long years” before she is “finally in sight of getting the keys to her BTO flat in Punggol”.
“She had hoped to move in early this year but construction hold-ups due to the pandemic delayed the schedule by six more frustrating months to this August,” ST wrote.
“The delay makes me sad, especially when I see neighbors from nearby projects sharing photos of them collecting their keys,” ST quoted Ms Lim.
She is crossing her fingers that there will be no further delays even as HDB said the completion dates of some projects may be pushed back even further due to tighter border measures restricting the entry of migrant workers especially from South Asia.
ST also reported that another family, Nisa Noorkhalam and her husband, will now have to wait until at least the third quarter of next year to move into their 4-room BTO flat in Yishun. Ms Nisa said, “The waiting time seems to be getting longer and longer. If we could let go of the BTO flat without penalty and get an HDB resale flat, we will definitely consider doing that.”
The couple now have to squeeze into the 5-room HDB flat of Ms Nisa’s parents in Woodlands till they can get their keys, ST said.
Yet another couple, Jerry Loo and wife were said to be “looking forward to embracing married life in a new home after their January wedding but will now have to wait six more months”, reported ST. Their 4-room Bidadari BTO flat will only be ready around the third quarter of next year, forcing the couple to stay separately with their families, added ST.
“The small excitements of getting our own flat, renovating it and enjoying the newlywed life and planning for kids are now pushed back, so that’s the disappointing part,” ST quoted Mr Loo.
HDB has reported that about 85 per cent of the 89 ongoing BTO projects were behind schedule as of last month.

Minister Lawrence Wong: We need migrant workers to build your homes

Indeed, earlier this month (4 May), Minister Lawrence Wong told Singaporeans at a press briefing that Singapore can’t afford to shut its borders as the country needs migrant workers to build homes. He was also trying to explain why Singapore did not close its border to India earlier, given the record new outbreaks happening there (‘Lawrence Wong says SG didn’t close border with India due to need for migrant workers, but traveller stats shows otherwise‘).
“We are small… We need migrant workers to build our homes,” he said. “We’ve already become very tight, to the point that the backlog of applications has been growing… Many projects have been suffering from delays, as all of us know.”
“Some of our housing projects may now be delayed by up to a year or more. So it does come at a considerable cost to Singaporeans,” he added.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) later added that Singapore would have been hit hard if migrant workers had not been allowed to enter Singapore after the circuit breaker period last June (‘MOM says border not closed earlier due to need of migrant workers; No mention of others such as STVP and work passes‘, 18 May).
It said that there would have been a labour shortage of 70,000 service sector workers, 30,000 construction workers and 30,000 domestic workers if Singapore had closed its borders last year.
MOM pointed out that the outflow of migrant workers has exceeded the inflow over the past year due to border restrictions to mitigate importation risks. Singapore has not been able to adequately replace those who have left, it said.
But a cursory check by TOC has shown that those who flew directly from South Asia did not compose entirely of migrant workers (a.k.a. work permit holders) only.
Many more were students, work pass holders, dependant’s pass holders, short-term visit pass holders, and Singapore residents (‘South Asian family suspected to have transmitted B1617 variant to airport worker, unlikely to be migrant workers‘, 22 May).

Our garment actually can prioritise the projects and re-allocate the limited number of workforce available in hand accordingly.
Why must import as many CECA Indians as possible to work for all projects? Please refer to Chapter 1 of elementary Economics
 
Without Ah Nehs, many grassroots connected dormitory bosses and construction company bosses will face cash flow problems.
