<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->WE REFER to Ms Tyla Teng Ning and Mr Ravi Govindan's letters, 'Trouble in the neighbourhood' (Aug 22), and 'Wayward workers: Hold bosses liable' (Sept 1), respectively.
The police are currently investigating Ms Teng's report on the incident. Foreign workers who commit crimes will be prosecuted. If convicted, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will also review the case and permanently bar such workers if they are assessed to be no longer suitable to work in Singapore.
Mr Ravi was concerned about foreign workers congregating in neighbourhoods where Singaporeans live. The vast majority of foreign workers are law abiding.
We should therefore not curtail their access to public areas because of the actions of a few irresponsible individuals. The police conduct regular patrols of public areas where foreign workers congregate to ensure that the safety and security of residents are not compromised.
The various authorities have ongoing efforts to educate foreign workers on Singapore's laws.
For example, MOM produces a guidebook in nine languages that is distributed to all foreign workers when they arrive in Singapore. The police also engage foreign workers of the various dormitories through regular roadshows and talks to educate them on Singapore's laws as well as the consequences of committing crime. In addition, the police have produced posters and a video in various languages to enhance crime prevention awareness among foreign workers. The video is played at dormitory roadshows and crime prevention exhibitions conducted for them.
