-FADLI FAWZI-
Team Marine Blue had many fruitful engagements for our house visits last night with the residents of Chai Chee. Many of the residents who live here know each other well having lived together for many years. We were even warmly invited to some who had their neighbours over for Hari Raya.
We had many chats ranging from the concerns people had with their working conditions and cost of living. Some residents also informed us of how for many years there was only one bus service in the area. They informed us of how important it was to have a service to take advantage of the new downtown line.
In between we also managed to have a chat with a food delivery rider who was part timing as he went to school. He had taken a picture with Pritam Singh during his jog and he wanted to say hi to us.
One of the industries which developed due to the pandemic is the food delivery industry and while it provides opportunities, it is something we should take note of to make sure the interest and working conditions of food delivery riders is taken care of. As if to remind us of the importance of delivery riders, we also saw in one of the signs outside the resident’s house we visited “Come rain or shine you never fail to come with your packages of cheer.”
