In late April, news of a 46-year-old migrant worker’s death after suffering injuries from a fall at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital shocked many.

Though he eventually tested positive for Covid-19, his cause of death is classified as unnatural.

Just last Friday (15 May), a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national was found dead at a Kranji dormitory.

Police are currently investigating the case though they ruled out any foul play in initial evaluations, reported The New Paper (TNP).

Protecting our migrant workers

As this is the second case of unnatural death among migrant workers in 3 weeks, many are hoping we can do better to protect migrant workers.

During this ‘Circuit Breaker’, we have to ensure adequate safety measures are put in place to protect individuals in dormitories.
