Foreign Workers

I am shocked and saddened to see the terrible condition of the Tagore estate dorms. I can't believe that foreign workers continue to be treated in such a horrible way. I noticed in the newspaper the picture of the bed (One big bed for many workers). I wonder when all of this is going to change?

Are our laws and penalties a sufficient deterent? Is enforcement the issue?

As it it these poor foreign workers are being taken advantage of by agents as well as employers.They get into heavy debt by having to pay large sums of money to come here and have to work free of charge for many months to cover their debts . It reflects badly on Singapore as these agents and employers are allowed to take advantage of the workers until some accident or death occurs. I hope that action will be taken immediately so that all foreign workers have a better life and treated in a humanely way.
