Yesterday was Labour Day, a day meant to give tribute to our workers in Singapore.
Usually, on this day, these workers would be out and about enjoying the day in town instead of working.
Unfortunately, everything’s gone down the drain when Covid-19 hits and our fellow workers have been stuck in their dorms for weeks.
But just because our migrant workers are all stuck within their dorms, worried about whether they’ll be the next one to be tested positive for the coronavirus, it doesn’t mean they’re forgotten.
One beloved bubble tea brand in Singapore decided to do something nice for these migrant workers.
Gong Cha Sent 4,000 Cups of Bubble Tea to 17 Dormitories During Labour Day
On Labour Day, Gong Cha, despite being made to go on a “sort of” hiatus, went ahead and made 4,000 cups of bubble tea to share with 17 dormitories.
Just take a look at the smiles on our migrant workers’ faces.
I’m definitely not feeling envious while going through BBT withdrawals.
They thanked them for their contributions to helping Singapore build a better tomorrow.
Thank you for your contributions towards building a better tomorrow for our community.
Together, we can ride out this storm.
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay kind 🥰
Dormitories Hardest Hit In This Covid-19 Outbreak
While Singapore has managed to keep the number of new Covid-19 cases in the community within the single-digit range, the same can’t be said for our foreign workers.
Yesterday, there were 932 cases reported yesterday. Only 6 of the new cases are Singaporeans or Singapore PRs while the majority of the cases are from dormitories.
Based on the various interviews that several media platforms have been doing with migrant workers, workers are worried about the rampant transmission of Covid-19 among themselves and wondering if they will be next.
Thankfully, they are also assured by the fact that the Singapore government, as well as Singaporeans, are all standing together with them and taking care of them.
As PM Lee says, we are here for you and we will make sure to get you back to your families safe and sound.
After all, what else can we do for the group of people who built the backbone of our society, right?
