Three of a group of 40 Thai students who were allegedly lured into job training in Singapore have returned to the country to file lawsuits against two unlicensed brokerage agencies.

Upon their return on Saturday, the students were advised to file complaints so that labour officials could act against the companies – Go Abroad Education Group and Study Plus.
Wirasak Montri, 24, and Thatsani Thongthaeo, 22, and Natthaphawi Chaiphutthikon, 19, were among the university students who went to Singapore on a paid-job training programme last month through the employment agencies.

The Singapore government allows students from three universities in Thailand — Thammasat, Chulalongkorn and Prince of Songkhla — to participate in the programme.
However, the two firms are accused of taking applications from students from other universities and forging their information to make it look as though they belonged to one of the three approved universities.

The students had no idea they were not eligible to join the programme or that the information about their schools was forged.

Soon after they started the programme in Singapore, local authorities pursued them. They were detained and their passports seized for examination by officials, who later released them.

“I was stunned,” Ms Thatsani said, recalling the incident on May 20 when she was apprehended by officials as she worked as a maid in a hotel.

She told them she had no idea about the information being forged. She explained that she only followed the steps advised by the agency, which arranged her documents after she agreed to pay the expenses required by the trip.

An investigation by the Singaporean Ministry of Manpower, which oversees foreign workers, later found Ms Thatsani and other students had no involvement in the alleged wrongdoing and returned their passports.
“The ministry questioned 40 students after spotting irregularities in their education documents,” said Employment Department director-general Prawit Khiangphon. “They are not students from universities allowed to join the job training programme in Singapore.”

Mr Wirasak was also unaware of the fraud. The fourth year student said he trusted the brokerage agency because it visited his university and gave advice on overseas job training that promised a salary of 12,500 baht a month in Singapore.

Really, it is another amazing trait in SG. The MOM is a blind bat. Foreigners given job training in SG will surely finally replace locals after they are trained. Locals will be jobless.

It's all in the game from the recruitment agencies in Thailand to the students involved down to the job agencies in SG that referred the students to the employers. When caught, just say you do not know. The pinoys do it better. How many pinoys are caught? How many are now in SG working with forged qualifications?

If MOM really wanted to dig, they will be kept busy digging for years.
