RickyWee 3rd Gear March 19, 2020 Share March 19, 2020 https://mothership.sg/2020/03/malaysian-sleeping-outdoors-kranji-mrt/ Sleeping outdoors In a few photos posted to social media, Malaysian workers unable to find accommodation have been camping out at Kranji MRT. The workers can be seen sleeping on mats on the cold, hard floor, outside the gates of the station. Their minimal belongings are either piled next to them or used as makeshift pillows. Kranji MRT is a common transit point between Singapore and Malaysia, as numerous bus services ferry workers from Kranji to Johor Bahru. Singaporeans offering spare rooms Some generous Singaporeans have taken to offering spaces for lodging in a bid to extend a helping hand to Malaysian workers. Activist Gilbert Goh has been acting as a liaison between Singaporeans with spare rooms and affected workers. In a few posts on his Facebook, Goh displayed offers of temporary housing. Well done to Goh for forking out the time to helping those in need. We need to have more people like this, willing to help those who are in need during times like these. ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic March 19, 2020 Share March 19, 2020 This is the time for Singaporeans to show whether they have a heart or not; or you're just living only for your 5C's . I guess most do, some may not have the means to offer. But some will criticize everything for the sake of criticism. it is not these people fault, they were given no choice. Think about it, what would you do, if you were one of them ? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, some bosses not as good leh but I just don't understand why cannot at least let them sleep in office even if cannot find accomodation. Put a tent outside office also better than sleep MRT right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
