Brunei govt tells oil and gas contractors urged not to cut employees’ salaries


BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Aug 28 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Minister of Finance and Economy II Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Mohd Amin Liew Abdullah said there is no reason for oil and gas (O&G) contractors not to pay workers for three months, should the number of Covid-19 cases recede and activities resume with different standard operating procedures (SOPs).

This was his response at the press conference in the capital, after it was made known that some crew who could not work offshore were being denied a daily pay salary for three months.
