Workers can't lie down or sleep in 'cage'
CNA
ALONG with 42 other men, Bangladeshi Md Zakir Hossain Md Yousuf Ali arrived in Singapore in February, hoping to build a better life for himself and his family.
The next day, they packed into a lorry. They thought they were on their way to work.
Instead, they were taken a short distance from their living quarters on Kian Teck Drive near Boon Lay to their employer's Benoi Road office.
Once there, they were locked inside a partly-roofed fenced-up space next to the office.
Dubbing it 'the cage', Mr Md Zakir Hossain, 24, said the same thing happened day after day, with no proper work given to them.
He claimed they had not been paid either.
He said through a translator: 'We stayed in the cage the whole day doing nothing. We were not allowed to lie down or sleep.
'If we did, the bosses would scold us or pour water on us. They treated us like animals.'
The New Paper met 40 of these workers who had run away and sought help. The Manpower Ministry (MOM) is investigating their complaints.
The workers come from three companies, Han's Marine, San's Marine Engineering Service and K 7 Engineering, which the men claim are run by the same people.
