Discussion: police processes
Although a stern warning is not supposed to affect "legal rights, interests, or liabilities" we found that it's not quite true when issued to migrant workers. The effects therefore constitute punishment without due process.
Chen Le was determined to clear his name. But what about that gaping wound? Follow this worker as he goes from one agency to another.
Khan got his latest job without paying an agent's fee, but he was still faced with an unreasonable and bullying employer. What are the reasons that produce such outcomes?
When a migrant worker is arrested by the police, put into remand and charged with a serious offence, what are the immediate issues that he is faced with? We recount one worker's experience.
No clear answer could be obtained whether a worker was eligible to work in Singapore again. MOM said Yes, but ICA quietly marked him as a No. What then happened?
What led Ziaur to overstay? How individual decisions are shaped by policy and how misguided policy imposes costs on the State itself.
Workers in a nearby dorm were surprised to see him running in for help. No shirt, no sandals... just plain fear.
Migrant workers do all kinds of jobs that SIngaporeans wouldn't want to do, such as working in a cemetery as a grave digger. Meet Bulbul, who loved it.
In the interest of justice, migrant workers should not be repatriated until their claims are fully heard and settled. Singapore promised this at the UN.
Twenty roommates of a migrant worker were locked inside a room after the worker fell ill with Covid-19. The room was locked from the outside. The employer was unhappy we went public with the problem on Facebook. MOM also said we had not informed them.
