The Plight of Foreign Workers in Singapore

The article "It's a Raid - and Men, Rats, Roaches Scurry About" published in the Straits Times on 18th May 2010 was an eye opener, as it showed us what it is like in the dormitories of some foreign workers in Singapore. Although they are not Singaporeans, the locals owe a lot to these foreign workers who have contributed to the modernisation of Singapore. With most of thenm working in the construction field, they are partly responsible for the new buildings which are erected in Singapore. Some of them are also responsible for the clean and green environment that we experience in our neighbourhoods. Thus, it only fair that we reciprocate kindness with kindness by providing them with bigger lodgings and proper washing facilities. After all, we all belong to the human race and we should treat one another with respect.
