Considering how much 14 days mandatory quarantine costs at the government approved facility- I’d say that it was very expensive trip for Batam.

It works such a way that company must increase the salary or let the worker go (and hire a singaporean on his/her place with the same salary).
The most screwed up are these EP holders who are older than 40, while earnig less than 10k and their passes renewal coming next year. Their only option is to find a job with pays more than minimum requirements or pack bags and leave.
