By Lynda Hong

SINGAPORE : Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have said they are seeing a huge impact on foreign workers due to the economic recession.

Thus, despite more steps being taken to improve the working conditions of foreign workers, NGOs want to further strengthen activism for them.

Three NGOs - Migrant Voices, Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) and Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (HOME) - have come together to form a coalition called the Solidarity for Migrant Workers, which taps on the expertise of the three foreign worker NGOs.

Up to 160 foreign workers attended the launch of the new coalition on Sunday afternoon.
