    These foreign workers have sacrificed much to Singapore's economy. It is now the Govt's turn to appreciate their services and take care of them in times of need.

      @@wee717 you know yes you are right unfortunately :( it is saddening but perhaps this may just be the turning point and there is a silver lining. I do however believe that it is our duty first and foremost as fellow human beings to have compassion and empathy and to educate those around us, especially our young .
      And since we are blessed to be aware, we can be hopeful and be exemplary in our words and deeds. Let's not give up. Society can learn and rejuvenate itself if members are introspective and yearn to make a difference:)
      There are lessons to be learnt and we can all do better. Let's give it a try , my friend.

      Same, ask yourself.
      These worker can’t find job in their Home Countries. If they could they wouldn’t be here. They are here for money. SG hire them for the job we need them to do.
      End of.
      I am not taking away anything from these foreigners. many of them are hardworking. But
      Sacrifice is not the word to describe them.

      Unfortunately not everyone can stay in 5 star hotels. Maybe more regulation and health inspections should be put in place to ensure clean and comfortable living conditions but it's all up to their contractors and employers. However, looking at their living space it looks fine. These people came to Singapore to work, not to go on vacation. Of course we want everyone to be comfortable but it simply doesn't work that way. I am not trying to discriminate against these blue-collar workers but this is simply a reality even I had to accept.

    This was so sad and touching. It’s so painful to see their living conditions this way. Some of them don’t even have mattress and sleep on thin cardboard. Yet they stay so positive and appreciative of what is given and how they are being taken care of. They work so hard to build our country and don’t even get to visit their families back home. Hope the situation gets better and those who are infected will get better.
    For the rest of us in Singapore please stay home. It’s unfair that all these men do is just come to our country to work and help build our nation despite being paid so little. And yet they don’t blame anyone despite their current conditions.

    The worker at the end said "Who do we blame? You can't blame anybody". Totally agree with what he said. Unlike some of the people I came across online and offline, still possess "blame this, blame that, blame others" attitude, taking things for granted as if the society, the govt, etc., owe them a living. I hope this crisis also teach people moral & civic education, not just personal hygiene.

    This is an interesting insight into the lives of our builders, I think somehow we've all turned a blind eye to them. As long as things get built, we don't ask or look into things like this. But this was a good wake up call for future generations of Singaporeans and builders, to get better facilities and living conditions in one of the best cities in the world. It's not just the Gov that has to do more, but we as Singaporeans need to be more aware and more open about this kinda things :)
