Hot & Hotter

It's been hot hot and very hot over the last few days. First it was the election feverish excitements, drummed up by the various opposition parties then there's the weather.
Yesterday 9th May must be the hottest. A check on the the inbuilt thermometer in the car showed 37C. Even the cold shower taken in the evening, was warm. My thoughts are with the many foreign workers spending hours under this sweltering heat, going back to the equally stuffy and hot dormitories in the evenings. All for the want of giving their families at home a better life.

yours is a gracious take on foreign workers. apparently, your fellow voters aren't so forgiving with their increasing numbers & it's the PAP that felt the backlash.

Doc:
Indeed. But it's not the blue collar manual work that sporeans are after. It's the white collar jobs when the foreigners are willing to take it with a lower pay and less benefits.
