Some companies whose workers were affected by the Causeway disruption say they will consider giving their Malaysian employees a transport subsidy, to enable them to get to work without having to rely on the chartered bus services.

Cleaning company ISS Facility Services engages the services of a Malaysian bus company to ferry its workers across the Causeway. It said 29 of its workers were affected by the incident this morning. The workers had informed their superiors and crossed the Causeway on foot.

Another affected company in Tuas said it made arrangements to pick up its workers. Grocery Logistics of Singapore, a company owned by NTUC FairPrice, said fewer than 20 of its warehouse staff were affected.

It was the same for food service provider Select Group, which uses the Second Link to transport most of its goods. The company also said its Malaysian employees were "barely affected" as many of them reside in Singapore or travel to work in the earlier hours.
