Mr Edwin Khew Teck Fook asked the Minister for Manpower whether he will consider establishing a separate category of permits to allow specialist foreign contractors and specialist workers to come to Singapore to install and commission specialist systems for a limited period and then leave, without having to put them through the same application process for workers who are wanting permanent employment with a Singapore employer.
