"He paid S$7,000 to work in Singapore, but found himself without a job or a home,"

... Mr Jaynal was told the same company, DairyFolks Fresh Milk Suppliers, was looking for another worker. He would be paid S$1,000 a month (US$740)...

The agent did not tell him much about the job; only that he would be working on a farm. The agent also gave him a digital copy of an in-principal approval letter, which is needed to bring migrant workers into the country...

He was also told he had to pay 800,000 Bangladeshi taka – about S$9,200 – to secure the job...

But as time ticked on, he began feeling uneasy; he had received no updates about the job for almost two months. Whenever he questioned the agent, the reply was that the process "takes time"...

After the agent’s departure, Mr Jaynal was asked to leave his accommodation as the agent had stopped paying his share of the rent...

Mr Jaynal said he was told that he would need a work permit from DairyFolks Fresh Milk Suppliers. But no one was around when he went down to the farm located at Lim Chu Kang. 

It was also during this visit that he met the three workers from his village who had been employed by the company, and got wind of the salary issues they were facing. All three had not received their full salaries for almost six months...

While he was at TWC2’s shelter, Mr Jaynal said MOM contacted him and arranged for a meeting with his employer's son. 

During the meeting, the employer’s son said "this was all a scam" and that the company had only asked the agent for three workers, Mr Jaynal recounted. 

The employer’s son declined to comment when contacted by CNA...
