The National Environment Agency (NEA) announced today that they are expanding the job scopes of their over 600 Sanitation and Vector Control employees to include a new field surveillance initiative, and that it will come with a 4 per cent increment in salary.
The current job scope consists of maintaining the cleanliness of the public areas of Singapore, such as sweeping litter and leaves from streets, emptying litter bins and applying anti-mosquito oil to potential breeding grounds.
