3 Lives of immigrants in British Singapore BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. After 1819, there were more migrants leaving their homelands and starting new lives in Singapore. Labourers made up a large group of the migrants who came to Singapore. This group of labourers included coolies, samsui women and convict labourers. Their work in Singapore helped in the development of Singapore. Source A: Photograph of Samsui women* working at a construction yard in Singapore. *Samsui women refers to female immigrant labourers mainly from the Sanshui district in Guangdong, China. Source B: From a book published in 1971 about the Javanese in British Singapore. In central Java there was poverty, a fast growing population and the lack of land. People were looking to leave. Singapore was one of the first territories to bring in Javanese labourers. The Javanese population increased significantly with the mass employment of Javanese workers signing work contracts in Singapore. They found work in various locations, including working at large-scale plantations as plantation labourers.
