> They have zero avenue for support when they face abuse whether physical, sexual or emotional. That is not true at all. Singapore is a country of law and order. > visas in places like these ask you to leave immediately if you get quit or fired from a job. They have been invited to a country as a temporary worker to do a specific job. Saying you have to go home if you get fired is not inhuman. I have worked offshore and had my contract canceled - it sucks but it’s not inhuman. |

I think you underestimate the psychological effect of constantly being treated as a disposable guest worker; there's a difference between that and working off-shore or being an expat treated as an equal. As I mentioned in my other reply[1] it is a "good deal" for many Indonesians in a way, but it comes at a price, a price which strikes me as quite needless as well.
