Migrant worker in S'pore eats on wet grass in rain beside drain

A migrant worker in Singapore was filmed having his meal outdoors in the rain.

In a video posted on TikTok on Jul. 4, the man could be seen squatting on the wet grass beside a drain.

He'd spread out his meal — comprising a drink and food on brown paper — on the pavement in front of him.

A yellow object, which appeared to be a hard hat, was on the ground as well.

The video sparked a flurry of sympathetic comments from TikTok users.

"If his family sees [him in] this condition," one remarked. Another said: "It's a foreign worker's life in Singapore."

But others questioned if there were not other places to eat in the vicinity, like a void deck or shelter.

"[Aren't] there shelters nearby? Till he has to eat in the rain and next to a drain?" a user asked.

Same situation previously

Previously, in 2016, a foreign worker was seen consuming his meal on the wet ground.

His hard hat was also seen on the ground.

He apparently did so as he was worried he would dirty the bus stop seat.

The image sparked widespread sympathy.
