Sixteen (16) prostitutes were sent back from Singapore at their own request.
Four applications were received for the recovery of women who had emigrated to Singapore. Two were found to be based on false information; the others were applications for the recovery of girls who had emigrated as prostitutes. Both these latter were recovered and handed back to their relatives.
Six girls were repatriated from Singapore in connection with "trafficking" cases. Of these girls one was given in adoption as a daughter to a family in Hongkong, and the others were sent away to their homes in the country.
Four women were repatriated by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, Singapore, because on various grounds they were unable to make a living in the country.
