Topic: Are foreign workers to be housed next to a cemetery?

Research question: Are the Singaporeans treating the foreign workers right or fair in their housing?

Interviewee: Alvin

Question 1: Should the foreign workers be housed in the heart of HDB flats?
Answer: Not in the hearts of HDB flats, because the foreign workers urinate/ drink/ litter in nearby HDB estates, and they has disturbed the peace around the HDB areas, hence it is the government who has to step in to take care of the welfare of his countrymen.

Question 2: Should the foreign workers be housed in environments most Singaporeans live in (close to supermarkets/ shops etc.)
Answer: Yes, because they work for us, so they deserve to use 'our facilities' like supermarkets and shops at the very least.

Question 3: Is it fair that the foreign workers be housed near a cemetery?
Answer: Not fair that they are to be housed near a cemetery even though Singapore has a problem of land scarcity and housing so many people on such limited land is a huge task, it doesn't mean it is an excuse as to house the foreign workers near cemeteries. To be honest, foreign workers work harder than any of us at the very least, they deserve to be housed in a better environment than near cemeteries.

Question 4: Do you think segregation is taking place in Singapore?
Answer: Yeah, but it's partly the government fault, evident by the idea of them housing foreign workers next to a cemetery.

Question 5: Do you despise the foreign workers?
Answer: Nope, they're still humans just that I don’t know any foreign workers. They just have their own kind of entertainment, there’s nothing wrong with them hence, there’s no need to despise them.


Interviewee: Yingyu

Question 1: Should the foreign workers be housed in the heart of HDB flats?
Answer: Yes, if we got the space for them to stay in HDB flats, why not?

Question 2: Should the foreign workers be housed in environments most Singaporeans live in (close to supermarkets/ shops etc.)
Answer: Yes, but priority should be given to Singaporeans because, as I said, they are Singaporeans and this is their own country.

Question 3: Is it fair that the foreign workers be housed near a cemetery?
Answer: I don’t think there’s unfairness in housing them near a cemetery; obviously Singapore has land scarcity that’s why we let them stay in not-so-good environments, if we can help it, we will of course provide better hospitality for them.

Question 4: Do you think segregation is taking place in Singapore?
Answer: Yes, it is obvious from our point of view that people don’t really like the foreign workers, by their actions and stuff.

Question 5: Do you despise the foreign workers?
Answer: No, I do agree I don’t really like them a lot but that doesn’t mean I despise them, and besides, they are still humans.
