Imbecile

After going for work attachment at TWC2, i have a totally new perspective of the indian workers that always hanging around at the fields in little india or any bangladesh workers. GIVE THEM A BREAK! like seriously, they are the people who build our orchard road, IR, Vivocity, whatever we have they are the ones who went through hell just to make a better life for us. And how do we repay them? Making their life worse,

The foreign workers are actually suffering alot. They come to singapore having the hopes and dreams of a better life, they had to leave their families back home and majority of them had to sell away everything they possess just to earn a better living in singapore or abroad. And when they come to singapore, they are cheated off their money or their salaries get delayed. Worst, they live in seriously bad housing conditions, with bedbugs around, smelly and stinky rooms, little food.

When i was working at TWC2 and helping out, many of this questions kept popping out. Look at the state of these foreign workers, they work so hard just to earn money, but some dont even have a dollar in their pockets. How do they survive? While we, and even I, typical people, always asking for more and more. I feel ashamed of my greediness on wanting so much of materialistic things. While these workers do not even get their basic necessities. I wish the government had better measures in ensuring the safety and welfare of these workers...

so far out of reach
