SINGAPORE: 12 foreign workers were locked up in their scrap metal
factory along Defu Lane since last Wednesday.
The factory's boss is
reportedly away and will only be back this Thursday.
Police and
officials from the Ministry of Manpower arrived at the factory to break the
lock.
The workers, from India and China, are entitled one day off every
week.
But during this festive season, they were not granted this
privilege and had to stock up their food supplies for a week, on Lunar New Year
eve.
The workers added that their bosses did not even leave any contact
number.
Authorities are investigating the case.
Wrong
confinement of persons for three days or more may result in imprisonment of up
to two years or a fine, or both. - CNA/vm
