SINGAPORE (Reuters) -- Singapore must stay open to preserve its status as a global business hub, its prime minister said on Sunday, even as the country continues to tighten its foreign-worker policies and addresses anxieties among locals over competition for jobs.
Foreign labor has long been a hot-button issue in Singapore, but uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic have increased employment worries among locals as the city-state recovers from last year's record recession.
