By 2030, around 1,000 existing Purpose-Built Dormitories and Factory Converted Dormitories will be adhering to the improved interim standards under the Dormitory Transition Scheme .
Under the DTS, dormitories will only be allowed to have less than 12 residents per room, and beds should have more than one-metre spacing between each other.The DTS also indicates that each resident in the dormitories must have at least 3.6 sqm of living space, a slight adjustment from the previous 3.5 sqm.
“ Such an approach will ensure that there are sufficient dormitory beds to meet employers’ needs even as the transition takes place. Dormitory operators will also be expected to put in place plans to minimise disruption to MW residents while retrofitting works are being undertaken,” the ministry added.
