The squeeze on foreign labour is driving companies to look for, well, more foreign labour.
But instead of pounding the same old ground overseas, restaurant and construction bosses are exploring new territories.
Due to a mix of hiring restrictions and dwindling supply, firms in Singapore have found it necessary, and useful, to recruit workers of different nationalities.
In the food and beverage sector, for instance, the trend in recent months has been to go Taiwanese.
Background story
- In the food and beverage sector, firms have been turning to Taiwan.
- Construction firms are looking to Sri Lanka and the Philippines for workers.
RAISING SERVICE STANDARDS
We hope that the workers can learn on the job by watching how the Taiwanese serve with a smile and show this genuine warmth.
– Mr Wei Chan, Restaurant Association of Singapore assistant honorary secretary
MORE VIBRANT SECTOR
I could work in a restaurant in Taipei, but I think I can learn more here because the hospitality sector seems more vibrant with the new hotels and integrated resorts.
– Taiwanese waitress Chen Yea Ru, who works at Jumbo Group’s steamboat restaurant Jpot
