SINGAPORE — To directly operate two new purpose-built migrant worker dormitories at Tukang Innovation Lane and Sengkang West, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will be setting up a corporate entity called Nest Singapore Limited.

At a launch event for the purpose-built dormitory at Tukang Innovation Lane in Boon Lay and Nest Singapore Limited on Saturday , MOM said it is setting up Nest to increase its capabilities in dormitory management while promoting innovation in migrant worker housing.

The Tukang Innovation Lane and Sengkang West dormitories will house 2,400 beds and 7,200 beds and be operational by 2025 and 2028, both respectively. Dr Tan said that through successful pilot initiatives in the purpose-built dormitories, MOM and Nest can “showcase these ideas and good practices and encourage their adoption in the wider dormitory sector”.in Sept 2021. At that time, the Government said that they would be constructed and owned by the Government but run by a dorm operator.

It will also come with an ensuite toilet — with one toilet, bathroom and hand-wash basin for every six residents — and ensuite laundry facilities which will help minimise intermixing across rooms during future disease outbreaks.
