The Dormitory is not a prison

More selfishness and discrimination ....

"Please don't build the dormitory, the foreign workers will make noise to disturb our peace, the buses will pollute air in our estate. They will dirty the place and commit crimes."


"Please don't let them come into our estate."

Hear what some people say? Build a fence round the dormitory, they say, and on weekends make arrangements to take them far away. Isn't this absurd? Treating foreign workers like prisoners. Can't the workers take a stroll round the estate to relax?
