The Bangladeshi Town With A Singapore Dream

In the town of Baluchar, Bangladesh, you can find marks of Singapore’s influence. A crockery shop - inspired by NTUC FairPrice - set up by a former construction worker; a sawmill, which helped improve life for townsfolk.

Why did some make it and others didn’t?
Life After Singapore explores what happens to migrant workers after they leave Singapore. CNA Insider producers Goh Chiew Tong and Ray Yeh travelled to Bangladesh - where many of Asia's migrant workers are from - to find out more.
