Excellent video. Time for us to do something instead of turning a blind eye to these horrific standards.

Singapore is a big exploiter of cheap foreign labor. It might be clean and flashy, but its underclass, the foreign workers, live in virtual slums.

Who to blame? Themselves. The users have ownership of keeping the place clean and the equipment in working conditions. Look at the place full of items all thrown everywhere, dirty drain not even clean up and many more. These poor living standards were never there prior to the start of the dormintory. It was caused by those living there themselves and what is worst it that they are not borther to rectify them and can stand living in it!!!!! What dirty people they really are!!!

There is so many foreigners in Singapore is because alot of jobs,Singaporeans don't want to do. If let say a hawker stall,no Singaporeans want to work at,then how? No hawker stall liao is it? It can't be no one working at the stall,so we should find a worker. If Singaporean don't want to be worker then how? No one work? So we should ask foreigner to do the job.

Singapore although having the highest income per capita in Asia has a very large gap between poor and rich, like HK. This eye-catching wealth is very attractive for other people in Asia (China, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.) and when they come they are absolutely not living as they excepted...

whats wrong with ppl removing the pool of water themselves?

Yes. the employer should fix it for them. because under the law the employer is responsible for their housing.

[Kin94285]

wonder why they dont just fix it themselves? I mean its not really such a difficult thing to do? Do they expect the employer to hire someone to fix it for them?
