Sweat Shops in Brunei

I didnt realise that there were sweat shops in BRunei.. literally i mean... today, i went to see a "kedai jahit" shop somewhere near and my god, the workers has no aircon at all and is working with a small fan beside them.

No wonder baju kurong only costs $12 to make... I'm sure the workers are working till late night and i wonder if they are paid on time. From the amoung of clothes that were displayed, no wonder their business is good with just $12 to make baju melayu as well...

Its an open secret that the labour laws in Brunei doesnt really protect the foreign workers, especially workers from India or Indonesia. Exploitation and abuse are very common but many are scared of their employers. Usually "trouble-makers" are sent home without being paid at all. I guess as long as its not the sons or daughters of any Bruneians who are faced with this problem, then it would be ignored and not taken action upon....
