Level 2 Two sided answer. Useful and not useful with some explanations (3-4m)
Source B is useful in showing the reasons for the coming of the immigrants to Singapore. The source shows that drought in India caused destruction to crops. This suggests that there was probably a shortage of food. This meant that people would probably be forced to look for other ways to sustain their livelihood.
In addition Source B is also useful as it shows that there was a scarcity of jobs. This implies that the people would not have any means to earn money. This meant that the people would not be able to buy food as they have no jobs and thus were forced to leave India to come to Singapore for a better life.
Source B also shows that jobs were plentiful in Singapore as labourers were needed the moment a coolie landed in Singapore. This suggests that people were able to find jobs and earn a living. Hence Source B is useful in showing both push and pull factors resulting in the coming of the immigrants.
OR / AND
Source B is not useful in giving a detailed account of why the immigrants come to Singapore. Source B shows that drought destroyed crops in a village in Madras. However, the source did not provide enough information to determine if other natural disasters like floods were present to cause misery to the people forcing them to leave their countries.
In addition, the source provides only information about an Indian immigrant. It is not useful as there were also other immigrants like the Malays, Chinese and Europeans who came to Singapore in the early years. Hence the source is not useful in giving enough information as the Chinese were forced out of their country due to many other factors like overpopulation and the Malays came to Singapore to escape from wars back home.
More importantly Source B is not useful in showing the pull factors which attracted the early immigrants to Singapore. The source shows that jobs were plentiful in early Singapore but did not mentioned other factors like the free port and free trade status which attracted many traders to come. It also did not show that due to the British protection, many immigrants felt safe to work here in Singapore.
