It is also important for me to understand the difficulties our cleaners face. And so the best way to understand is to experience it first-hand, which I did today. It was a physically exhausting experience but I also experienced something beautiful. I experienced how Hanif was clearly well-loved by the community and how he is so full of smiles.

First term MP for Nee Soon GRC Louis Ng announced that he would step away from his post at least once a month to take on various work stints to put himself in their shoes and understand what is really happening on the ground. His first work stint will be at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital where he will experience the life of a healthcare worker, he claims he "will do everything a healthcare worker does in his or her normal shift and do an actual shift at the hospital". After his KTPH stint, he intends to work as a taxi driver, a coffee shop assistant, cleaner and a secondary school student.
