This employment pass provides an insight into the types of work that was available for the people in Singapore during the early 1960s when there was concerted effort by the government to address the problem of massive unemployment. Jurong Shipyard was part of the Jurong site that was earmarked for industrialisation, which was important to Singapore’s economic development during this period.
