S Pass holders are currently not required to attend a settling-in programme, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Monday.
He disclosed the ministry’s plan to launch the pilot in his reply to an adjournment motion by Nominated MP Raj Joshua Thomas on developing a global talent strategy.
In his speech, Mr Thomas suggested a compulsory initiation programme for all foreigners on work passes to instil in them respect for Singapore’s laws, culture and local colleagues.
Dr Tan did not give details of the pilot programme.
