The riots in Little India that occurred late last year in Singapore have been blamed on the migrant workers from Tamil Nadu, India.
This incident raised questions about the country’s policy on migrant workers, while at the same time created interest about the migrant workers from other countries. Who are they? Are they like the Tamils from India? What do we know about them?
Singaporeans know so little about them, they think they are “…low skilled economic digits with whom we want to have as little to do as possible.” (Han Fook Kwang, A world apart and invisible, Sunday Star, Kuala Lumpur, 29-12-2013. Asia News Network.) (Courtesy of The Independent)
