At foreign worker advocacy group Transient Workers Count Too, its helpline received 462 calls last year, up from 353 in 2007 - from female domestic helpers and male foreign workers.

Each week, about three foreigners - out of about 860 callers weekly - dial the helpline of the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS).
