Jalandhar (Punjab), July 3 (Calcutta Tube) Two young Punjabi women who were promised lucrative jobs in Singapore are being forced into prostitution in that country, the mother of one of them said.
Davinder Kaur said her daughter Amandeep Kaur, 23, and her friend Suman went to Singapore after they were told they could join a dance troupe.
She said the travel agents took Rs.150,000 from her.
‘A few days after they reached Singapore, my daughter called to say her employers were forcing them into flesh trade. She was very scared and wanted to return home. When I approached the travel agents, they demanded another Rs.200,000 to ensure her safe return,’ said Kaur, who works as a maid servant.
‘There is no one to help me and I do not have any money with me. I want the Punjab government and police to help me bring back the girls,’ she said.
Kaur has registered a complaint against the travel agent with the assistance of Lok Bhalai Party (LBP), a party working for the rescue of people stranded abroad.
‘It is not the only case where Punjabi girls are being forced into prostitution abroad. There are hundreds of poor girls going through the same trauma. There is a strong nexus of travel agents who take girls abroad by promising them lucrative jobs and then force them into flesh trade,’ Balwant Singh Ramoowalia, president of LBP, told IANS.

A male Indian national was told to hide inside the speaker box all the way to Woodlands Checkpoint.

SINGAPORE : Two immigration offenders were caught trying to leave Singapore illegally last week.
A Bangladesh national was found hiding inside the speaker box in the boot of a Malaysia-registered car at the Woodlands Checkpoint last Thursday.
The Bangladeshi, the driver and passenger were arrested and are currently under investigation for their offences.
Both the driver and passenger admitted to abetting the illegal departure of the male Bangladesh national.
The immigration offender had agreed to pay an unknown middleman S$1,000 if he was successfully conveyed out of the country.
The driver and his friend were only promised S$150 each to help convey the Bangladesh national out of Singapore illegally.
A day later, another immigration offender, an Indian national was found in the boot of a Malaysia-registered car, hiding in an over-sized speaker box.
The Malaysian driver, a Singapore work permit holder, revealed that an unknown middleman had brokered the deal and he was told to pick up the Indian national at the Kranji MRT station.
He had agreed to convey the immigration offender out of the country for a sum of S$300 as he faced financial difficulties.
The Indian national had decided to leave Singapore as he could not find employment. He had agreed to pay a sum of S$1,500 to the unknown middleman if he was conveyed out of Singapore successfully.
The vehicles used in committing the offences have been detained and are liable to forfeiture.

Locals are also third world slaves. Same fights same. But foreign slave volunteers have the advantage as they offer themselves with no CPF, no NS, no COE, no reservist and lower pay with longer working hours.

They are the developed sweatshop thoroughbred.
