What you’ll do:
Find out what home looks like for the many foreign workers who work tirelessly to keep Singapore going! Join Biplab, Tipo, Shuvo and Mani as they take participants to visit The Leo Foreign Workers’ Dormitory’s numerous communal facilities where they rest and unwind after a long day of work!
Introduce yourself
Hello everyone, I am Tipo and I am from New Dhaka, Bangladesh. I first came to Singapore in 1997 and have been working at the same construction company for over 20 years.
To me, Home is…
Singapore. Singapore is my first home. I have been here for over 20 years, much longer than I have been in Bangladesh.
What is your favourite thing about your home?
I love that Singapore is a safe and diverse place. Everyone living in The Leo comes from different places but we are able to get along well and live together peacefully. During the height of the pandemic, due to the frequent outbreaks within the foreign worker dormitories, we were looked after really well by volunteers. Everything from food to shower gel was well provided and we had time to bond with each other.
