Let's put all of them in those nice houses along Edinburgh Road. It is just stone throw away from Orchard Road, Little India and Chinatown.
Hmmmm....I am a foreign worker here in Singapore...can't I choose where I live?
It's such a shame how people generalise here in Singapore. If you are Phillipino, does that automatically make you a maid? If from Bangladesh, a construction site worker? If from UK, a banker?
Open your eyes a little wider please, try to see that foreign workers are humans with feelings. If everyone of them left, this country would be in a big mess.

They can sit around and chat. Just like those Filipinos.
We have more than half a million foreign workers in Singpore. Without them, our economy will be greatly affected.
The recent issue of housing the workers is a concern.
How and where should we house them?
What about Tang Dynasty Village?
I'm sure they don't mind to pose in their free time for some side income:

I also support the idea. It is deserted and let them make the place alive again!
I have a better idea - The Singapore Zoological Gardens and Night Safari. Lots of land and water around Mandai area.
No need to go Orchard Road. Lots of FREE fresh air. They can sit around with Ah Meng Jr. and share her durians and rambutans. Visitors may even think that our zoo is becoming more 'diverse'.
hey Yappy,
maybe u should change the title to reflect on the topic more accurately? if its just about the Serangoon dorm issue being explored further. if not a foreign worker in any line of work come in may .
on the topic, i think our gahmen for too long did not plan how best to intergrat them into urban planning. doing it now seems desperate. an old school is not the best solution, a school was not built to house people. that amount of land the school takes up is too much land for too few people. current HDB apartments these days r built at least 10 storeys high to maximise land yield.
why not give HDB this task- to build an enclave for them. HDB has been doing this for decades. :think:
