socrates469bc Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 this maybe a very cold-hearted question to ask during an epidemic, but there will be many more mangalas who will tio wuhan virus in the coming days. so now the question arises, who will foot the bill for the health treatments of these migrant workers???? the sgp govt (indirectly the sgp taxpayers), their employers or the dorm operators who fail to ensure a clean environment. crying lawrence better come clean on this question.

meng.huat Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If nobody pays to treat them, LL also need to use taxpayer money... Or u rather let them roam the streets untreated? and spread the virus around? U die I die everybody die? after the event is over, those constructions, shipyards with big mangala population will have post event gift. SG govt not so easy to eat losses... it is only about when and how they recover the money... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG govt not so easy to eat losses... it is only about when and how they recover the money... yes, i think post-event, the govt will bill these companies. but issue here is that many of these mangalas r contracted by the small subcons, so the big contractors will just push the bills onward to the small subcons. and i dont think the subcons have the money to pay the bills. in the end, i think the taxpayers r will be pgd screwed by the cambridge clowns' incompetencies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
