• Meanwhile, in relation to the recent strike, dormitory operators clarified that the cleanliness of living spaces in rented dormitories are maintained not by the landlords but by the tenants. Find out more here.

• In other news, a new recreation centre for migrant workers which will be operationally ready early next year has been opened in Penjuru. Watch the video here.
