Cast

Production

The production team attempted to find the Samsui women to interview them about the past but could not locate them as they had mostly left their previous known living places in Chinatown, Singapore and only a few samsui women continued to work at constructions sites.[1] The team approached the Sanshui clan association which the samsui women are part of. Interviews with them remained difficult as they refused to talk much about their past.[1]

Release

The show runs from 6 May to 13 June 1986.[2]
