SINGAPORE - Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat has assured business and union leaders that workers and companies will continue to get support as the recession deepens and the Jobs Support Scheme ends.
Mr Heng said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that he and Manpower Minister Josephine Teo, Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling, and labour chief Ng Chee Meng had spent the past two days meeting business and union leaders to discuss the effectiveness of support measures the Government had rolled out in the last few months to help companies keep their workers employed.
"I assured them of our continued commitment to support our workers and companies. I have also been having intensive discussions with our agencies to review and evolve our schemes as the situation develops," he said. "Some are sourcing for opportunities abroad through online business engagements," he said."In the process, they are also reskilling their workers and redesigning jobs to take on these new opportunities."
