The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has responded to claims about breaches of Covid-19 health protocols, a lack of access to medical support and poor quality of catered food at a dormitory at Jalan Tukang in Jurong.

On Wednesday (Oct 13), officers from MOM's Forward Assurance and Support Teams (Fast) were deployed to the dormitory to investigate the claims.

The Singapore Police Force also responded to a call for assistance at the dormitory at about 12.55pm, said the ministry.

........"MOM's preliminary investigations found that there were indeed some delays in conveyancing workers who tested positive for Covid-19 from their rooms to a care or recovery facility to recover," it said.

The ministry said it was working on transferring those who need further medical care to healthcare facilities for treatment.

...........On Wednesday afternoon, police forces were deployed to Westlite Jalan Tukang dormitory.


Dozens of police officers were in protective gear, along with other officers in red berets.

Riot shields were seen leaning against barricades set up at the dormitory's entrance, which was being guarded by police personnel wearing personal protective equipment.

At about 5.50pm, the police in protective gear started to board armoured vehicles to leave the site.
