To tackle workforce shortages, Singapore has expanded hiring options to include Indian cooks for hospitality sector jobs. Previously, work permits predominantly went to those from countries like China, Malaysia and Taiwan. Now, Indian cooks can be recruited along with roles like housekeepers to broaden the talent pool for Singapore's services and manufacturing industries facing staffing shortfalls. Businesses can apply starting 1 September to hire Indian cooks, a non-traditional source, specifically for Indian restaurants. This provides new hiring avenues whilst addressing the hospitality sector's staffing needs amid tight labour conditions.
