After a trip to Bangladesh in December 2007, in which we visited various NGOs working on migration issues, we thought it would be good to set up a resource site for emigrants who are coming, or thinking of coming to Singapore for employment. We also noticed that many migrant workers enter Singapore not knowing its labour laws and other relevant legislation.
This blog was designed for NGOs in sending countries, and it contains information which we feel are essential for migrant workers to know, based on our own experiences working with them. It is not meant to be an exhaustive list as we are aiming to address the most frequently asked questions.
We hope this information is useful for your pre-departure orientation programmes. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at vip@home.org.sg or centre@twc2.org.sg
