even if opium are bad but it is also used in folk medicine to treat a range of illnesses such as asthma, cancer, catarrh, cold, conjunctivitis, cough, diarrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, fever, hypertension, hysteria, insomnia, malaria, melancholy, nausea, rheumatism and even snakebites, apart from pain-related illnesses such stomach-ache, swelling and toothache. Native of the regions east of the Mediterranean to Iran, opium plants are today found growing in many tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate countries all over the world. It is cultivated in China, India and other parts of Asia, popularly in the Golden Triangle -- an area spanning parts of Burma, Laos, Thailand and China -- for local consumption and for illicit trade purposes to peddle in other countries

Opium, a.k.a. Opium Poppy (Papaver  somniferum) belongs to the family Papaveraceae. The plant is a herb measuring between 50 cm. to 150 cm. in height. The flower buds bloom into erect flowers with petals ranging from white to purplish and in varieties also pink, violet, bluish, or red colours. The petals drop many days after flowering with only the bulbous green capsules or pods remaining atop the stalks. Opium, a milky latex, is collected from these pods. The milky latex is dried and then sold for consumption. Morphine is extracted from unripe capsules. The main chemical constituents of opium are codeine, papaverine, noscapine, and morphine. Heroin is synthesised from morphine. Though papaverine is non-addictive and relives muscle soreness or pain, codeine is a narcotic substance. Medically, codeine works as an analgesic, cough suppressant and hypnotic, while morphine is a pain-killer. But morphine is also addictive. As the body builds tolerance towards morphine, larger quantities are required for it to work effectively as a pain killer. Large doses of morphine prove to be fatal by causing respiratory arrest

Opium (Papaver somniferum), contributed  significantly to the general trade in Singapore's  pioneering years. Encouraged by the British colonial  government, it reaped heavy profits from opium licenses  although many Chinese coolies succumbed to this vice as they  tried to escape from the harsh reality of their mundane lives.  Despite a ban of the narcotic and addictive drug in 1943, the  opium trade continued clandestinely, so a death penalty was  introduced for opium drug dealers and peddlers in 1989 to put a  complete stop to it.

By the 1820s, many Indians were voluntarily enlisting to go abroad for work, in the hopes of a better life. European merchants and businessmen quickly took advantage of this and began recruiting them for work as a cheap source of labour.[42][43] The British began shipping Indians to colonies around the world, including Mauritius, Fiji, Natal, and British East Africa. The Dutch also shipped workers to labour on the plantations on Suriname and theDutch East Indies.

Chinese coolies were driven by poverty in China to seek a better life in Singapore. The immigration of Chinese coolies was high between the periods of 1823 to 1891 after Singapore became a free port, between 1910 to 1911 before the first World War and between 1926 to 1927, soon after the war. Coolie emigration decreased after 1927 because of the economic depression, followed by the Japanese occupation and then the World War II. Coolie trade never peaked after this and most immigrants after World War II were skilled labour.

The newly arrived coolie recruit was called sin kheh which meant "new arrival" in Hokkien. The secret societies and clan associations were involved in controlling and regulating the immigration of coolies from China. Secret societies would help the peasants pay for their journey to Singapore. Upon arrival, the majority of the early coolies would be handed over to employers of the same dialect, The kongsi, or a "clan association" was either an organisation, a group or a network of like-minded individuals speaking the same dialect or from the same province/part of China. The secret societies therefore acted as agents helping the peasants to come to Singapore, and to find employers from a certain kongsi, depending on the dialect of the particular peasant. Recruitment was carried out based on dialect connections. The secret societies helped support the coolies financially in times of illness, defended their livelihoods and organised final rites. The British however felt threatened by the rising power and prominence of the secret societies, and made these societies illegal in 1890. An official Chinese Protectorate was set up to handle the immigration and official procedures for coolies. Voluntary associations also arose, supporting the coolies in their immigration and transition into Singapore

The term "coolie" is probably of Indian origin and is thought to be derived from the Hindi word "quli" which means "hired labourer". Coolies were labourers imported into various colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia during the 19th and 20th centuries. Most of them were recruited under indenture, though some entered the colonies as free men.
