Many children here would’ve been told by our parents that we would be sold to the karang guni man if we misbehave, but hardly do we hear of parents threatening to sell their children to a sweatshop.
Probably because in Singapore, there isn’t one.
But according to a Twitter user in the United States, not only do we have textile factories in Singapore, starving families here are even selling their children to them for US$180 (S$245) each.
“Sue in Michigan will wear an H&M blouse made by a ten-year-old in Singapore whose starving family sold them to a textile factory for $180 USD so she can look cute on the 7 o’clock news,” she wrote.
It’s not known whom her tweet, posted today (Oct 13), was directed to, but it definitely caught the attention of tons of netizens, both American and Singaporean.
