THE government will release 10 additional sites for development as temporary foreign worker dormitories, which can take up to 20,000 bed spaces.

Three of them are vacant state properties which previously housed the Queenstown Polyclinic building at Margaret Drive, the former CAAS office at Upper Changi Road and the CPG Corporation Airport development division in Upper Changi Road North.

The others are vacant state lands in Jurong Road, Mandai road, Old Choa Chu Kang Road, Hougang Avenue 3, Seletar West Farmway and Kim Chuan Road, which will be available for tender on short leases of up to six years.
