Expect many Indians to be back at jobs in Singapore when situation eases: Indian envoy
Indians make up a large number of the labour workforce of Singapore that drives their economy, and, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is quite aware of their strength. The total foreign workforce in Singapore as of December 2019 stands at 14,27,500.
The Singaporean prime minister has publicly said on a number of occasions that Singapore will treat its foreign workers as it would treat its own citizens during this time of crisis.
The government followed through by providing food, medical supplies, ensuring salaries are paid to the workers during the lockdown period and ensuring internet facilities to stay connected with family and friends.
