Difficulties faced by migrant workers

The Online Citizen has many stories of migrant workers who faced a difficult time in Singapore. There is a racket where the migrant workers were misled into paying a lot of money to come to work in Singapore for jobs that did not exist.

While Singaporeans complain about losing jobs to migrant workers, we should also spare a thought for these workers who borrowed a lot of money to come to work in Singapore. In some cases, they were cheated by people who made money from them through scams. 

I hope that the Government will put a stop to the exploitation of the migrant workers.
