Migrant worker John Britto was terrified when he received a lawyer s letter asserting that he had failed as a supervisor in taking care of a colleague who had suffered an injury at work.
Fortunately, the 37-year-old Indian national sought advice from non-governmental organisation Migrant Workers Centre, which told him he was not at fault over the incident.
The claim in the letter, sent in 2019, was eventually withdrawn, he said.
Migrant workers like Mr Britto may now be in a better position to seek help, with the launch of the Migrant Workers Group (MWG) on Saturday.
