The Bangladesh High Commission in Singapore convened a discussion with affected Bangladeshi workers on salary arrears, welfare support, and re-employment opportunities
The Bangladesh High Commission in Singapore convened a discussion on 10 July 2026 with affected Bangladeshi expatriate workers to address concerns relating to salary arrears, compensation, welfare support, and future employment plans. The session formed part of an exchange of views organised by the High Commission to better understand the workers’ challenges and coordinate assistance with relevant stakeholders.
During the discussion, the affected workers expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the various measures undertaken by the Singapore Government, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC), and the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC). These initiatives included efforts to facilitate the payment of salary arrears, provide housing arrangements, and create opportunities for re-employment.
The High Commission noted that, with the direct assistance of the Singapore Government, some migrant workers had already secured new employment, and efforts to facilitate further re-employment opportunities were ongoing. The Bangladesh Government remains closely aware of these developments and continues to monitor the situation with concern for the welfare of its nationals working in Singapore.
