Singapore's new brand film, “Singapore-Where Passion is Made Possible” has received 192 million video views and attracted 3.19 million social media engagements since its launch. The ministry has proposed using interest from the social insurance fund’s deposits at banks or revenues from fines imposed on enterprises failing to pay social insurance premiums on time to support workers whose employers have fled the country. According to Vietnam Social Security (VSS), social and health insurance debts have amounted to VND12 trillion (US$527 million), with VND10 trillion of it social insurance. Vietnam currently has some 8,000 enterprises whose owners have left Vietnam, leaving behind social insurance debts of VND2 trillion. At a meeting of the National Assembly Committee for Social Affairs on the implementation of social insurance policies last year, deputies complained that there was no legal document which could help handle social insurance debts.
