One environmental justice issue in Singapore is how migrant workers are being treating in relation to environmental issues such as climate change. One of the reasons that Singapore has achieved the economy and quality of living that they have is because they have imported labor from nearby Southeast Asian countries. However, many organizations have protested the conditions that these workers live with, which have been especially harsh due to the COVID pandemic. In terms of its relation to climate change, Singapore’s many efforts to protect itself from the effects of global warming – which have been contributed to by the country’s rapid industrialization – from constructing seawalls to building solar installations, have been heavily aided by these migrant workers. The homes of these migrant workers, however, do not have the resources that nations like Singapore have to defend themselves against the ramifications of the climate crisis. As a result, the homes of these migrant workers are more impacted than the more developed nation that they work to help everyday by environmental issues that are mostly caused by more developed countries. I learned about this issue through online research. The main source I used was eco-business.com, an independent media and business intelligence company focusing on environmental sustainability. This issue’s main cause is the Singapore government’s lack of concern for the health and quality of life of the migrant workers the country is so reliant on. Singapore is a major contributor to the climate crisis, in large part due to its expanding petrochemical industry, a crisis which results in extreme weather conditions that threaten people in the countries that these workers come from. I hadn’t heard about this specific issue before, probably because I have only recently moved to Singapore. Although more generally, I have heard about issues concerning the harsh conditions that low-income workers in Southeast Asia have to endure. This issue affects me in the sense that as someone who is now living in Singapore, I am enjoying the privileges of this country that are only possible because of the work of migrant workers over the last half-century. There is definitely more work to be done to combat this particular issue, although many organizations have come out in defense of migrant workers and have advocated for their employers to ensure that they have better working conditions.
