From 1985 onwards, Chinese migrant workers went to work in Singapore in the form of labour service for foreign contracted projects. Singapore is now a major receiving country for Chinese migrant workers. The number of Chinese migrant workers in Singapore is estimated to be about 200,000. Most of them work in construction, manufacturing, maritime and service industries. They come to Singapore mainly through recruit agents after paying huge commission. They face multifarious problems and risks stemming from system flaws, market disorder and the Chinese migrant workers' weak position.
