It is unbelievable how Singapore response & takes care of migrant workers !!! I am always thankful to Singaporean from the bottom of my heart. Singapore is like a dream destination for many #BANGLADESHI migrants to change their livelihood, Singapore always rewarded their hard work there.
It is unfortunate that the taskforce had overlooked the potential outbreak of the migrant workers dorms. A big salute to all our charitable groups, volunteers and medical staff who have done a marvelous job taking care of the migrant workers. It is nice to know that many of these workers in turn, appreciate the kindness and care given to them. Like what one of the workers said, he feels more for his family back home because he knows he is safe here in Singapore.
Lets just extend CB to August just to be sure. FW will be the ball and chain of Singapore once unlock, as their cases is proof the virus is hovering over Singapore. Wuhan only reopen for 1+ month and already considering locking up again.
@@cvhawkeye6255 No way. I'm planning to score A1s for my exams and i'm not going to let some stupid virus prevent me from doing so.
@@someonetheperson2332 That's the Spirit. Very Best of Luck in your exams.
@@cvhawkeye6255 thx
It’s so hard warming that all of these NGOs and healthcare workers are stepping up and helping all of these migrant workers who are living on the fringes of our society. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Please treat these people with heart, God bless all of them.
Bless your head. Thank Singapore people.
There was a definite gap in the caring of this minority group, but I’m also glad to see the govt and volunteers stepped in and filled that gap......empathy and compassion goes a long way for our fellow man....
The govt or to be specific MOM in the name of protecting local jobs imposed hefty levy on employers of FW. How much of this levy is distributed to S'porean, to improving FW living conditions, and into the Ministry coffer?
Hats off to all the doctors,health workers, volunteers and sponsors for coming together in this difficult time for the migrant workers.May Buddha bless you all.
I am very certain that these migrant workers have
much better living conditions than many in Hong Kong.
But this ain't Hong Kong yeah?
There are basically 2 'levels' of FW here. One level who are employ here to do regular works which S'porean/Msian are not keen to do, and this group get the 'fair' deal. Another group who are brought in specially for project works, and this is the group that are exploited and treated poorly.
beautiful documentary, well done CNA thank you for shedding light on this. So heartwarming and emotional to see, but i am filled with gratitude for everyone who has helped during this time
Singapore is only country which is taking care of migrant workers just like their own citizens..thanks to singapore govt for their impartial love for migrant workers..small country with big hearted people❤️❤️❤️
Its appalling to know that these foreign workers who have been building us beautiful skyscrapers live in such dilapidated conditions. I am quite disturbed that MOM isn't doing their bit to prevent this. I wonder if they conduct routine checks at these dormitories with their eyes closed?
The entire MOM department in charge of doing routine checks on these dorms should be punished for not doing their jobs properly. Their incompetence has resulted in the CB extension and that has cost SIngapore a phenomenal sum of money. Josephine Teo needs to answer as this happened under her amazing leadership.
They are equals yes, and I appreciate them very much.
Awesome documentary ... Well done CNA ... so heartwarming to see so many volunteers and health workers are reaching out to our migrant workers .... We are on the right track and keep it up ...God bless SG and our migrant workers and will allow us soon to open our economy.
Thank you all for your hard work! Stay safe.
CNA channel Asia another excellent documentary for covid-19 pandemic interesting topic migrant worker's
👍👍👍👍👍
All I can say is ..Bravo Singapore !
Unlike Morrison who shooed helpless foreign students after pocketing Aud 20B annually from student fees or Msia whose ministers and govt officers pocket half a foreign workers salaries and not only starve them but leave them to die trying to stinge on testing....Singapore showed heart. And this heart will reap the island nation gratitude from the hearts of men world wide.
What is proof regarding your fairytale story about Malaysia? Don't talk bad about other country without any base.
Dorm operators need to stop overcowding just to maximize profits. This a very painful lesson.
I don't recall all migrant workers as Indian nationals. Anyone who are in the frontline, do clarify with me
Probably because they are the ones who speak English being interviewed for this segment. SG has many migrant workers from about 10 countries.
humanity as its finest ‼
This is so heartening to see.
Why Singapore is one of the greatest non western country ever !!
(36:31) Much better if they use the table for eating their meals not the (Floor).Mabuhay at Salamat Po.
How heartwarming!
They are right about the food, if the food is good, it can warm the heart. God take care of these men that are trying to provide for their families!
Thank you for doing such a good documentary. Well this has happened, but yes thank you to all unsung heros and ngos out there, taking good care of those migrant workers who contributed a big part in building singapore. They are often forgotten and I hope this will be a lesson to all contractors to stop squeezing so many pple in one room just for profits! and maybe if you guys happened to see them, offer a seat on the bus or train, buy them a bottle of water or even says thank you! they will be happy to hear that! thank you for you, giving me a little red dot where i call home. thank you!
It's called "patting oneself in the back"!
This is so heart warming , setting good example for STILL LOTS TO LEARN Malaysia government
Singapore treats there migrant workers so much better than any country in the world. Where in the world would one find a dorm provided to there migrant workers, with electricity ,running water ,a place to cook etc..
Great job CNA
so this is what a nation of educated people looks like...
How is it possible that work permit holders can live in rented HDB flat, and the one in this documentary stated that he live with 6 others? The MOM rule that regardless of house/apartment size, the maximum occupants is limited to 6. It is because of this ruling that many employers were forced to house their FW into cramped dormitory approved by MOM.
The title of this video is deceptive. How Singapore rallied to protect its migrant community? I see it as how Singapore failed its migrant community by allowing this catastrophe to happen in the first place. Singapore should have put in place regulations for housing the migrant community that prevented the rapid spread of COVID-19 to begin with; that is how the migrant community would have been protected.
Im sad
Are u alright?
@@nitcooksgf yes im fine😂😂 thank you:)
I want some foood
@bobcat tacbob share
The migrant workers says that they are safe in Singapore but they are making the Singaporean not safe.
Hi
Y am i the only comment
From marfoti cls?😂🤣😉
Migrant worker should not use singapores hospitals. They did not pay for it. In this reality you need to pay for things you want ir need. If you cant that your problem
some grass 🤣
I also noticed that too. He said already said Some Air!!!
Why you laugh having fun?
Treat Singaporean fairly before treating others..
Propaganda video. Treat your own Singaporean first before treating others.
Singaporean kiasu...that's what happen
Why the sudden change of HEART??? Hypocrites!!!...where were you when they were treated as modern slaves???
