Looking Into How We Treat Our Migrant Workers

Recent headlines on alleged forced labour in big companies have brought back to light the issue of how migrant workers are treated in the country. We first look into those headlines, and how it's impacted us. Then, we look into a study being conducted on who is an expat and who isn't, getting into why this is important and how it amplifies issues of double standards.
