Source 9: A description of Samsui women, who worked in many construction sites in Singapore during the 1930s 

In a typical day, Samsui women began at the break of dawn where they would have a simple meal before gathering to walk over to their respective construction sites. By 8am, they would be hard at work, digging soil and earth, or carrying debris and other construction materials in buckets that hung from shoulder poles. Work usually ended at around 6pm, after which many Samsui women would gather together for a simple meal to end the day.
