1 Jun, 2020

[UPDATE: 11.28pm]

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has released a statement expressing their deepest condolences to the deceased's family. It said the family members and employer of the deceased, as well as the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Singapore, have been informed.

The statement also added: "The deceased started working in Singapore in 2001. He was working as a foreman under his current employer for close to a year and had no employment issues. His employer had alerted his family of his condition when he was first admitted to the ICU on May 6, 2020. The hospital had also provided regular updates to the employer.

"MOM is working with the Migrant Workers' Centre (MWC) to provide financial assistance to the deceased's family to tide over immediate needs via its Migrant Workers Assistance Fund. The employer will also be assisting the family members on the funeral arrangements."
