Many South Asian workers are leaving their homes and families for the promise of money and security in Singapore, only to discover they have been duped and no jobs exist.

They end up being broken men, destitute in a foreign land.

Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley reports migrant workers from Bangladesh are part of a growing number who are being ripped off in highly organised scams throughout Asia.

  • @petranellachia Yes man that CHimo looking guy got issues I think that guy is either from Srilanks or Tamil Nadu India. That bastard should be on leash behind bars

  • @petranellachia. I love your comment.

  • And to make matters worse the government mandates that migrant workers without proper documentation are beaten (caned); which of course is contrary to international standards against human rights abuse. Gvoernments that treat prisoners in this inhumane manner need to be exposed.

  • Workers should not be beaten. This is not acceptable.The owners should be investigated and the workers should be send home or they should be given work and given food and accomodation by the employers. The wages are seperate and should be according to the hours they work.
