In rich Singapore, why must migrant workers go hungry?
- The labourers who build the gleaming skyline made famous in Crazy Rich Asians are paid as little as US$15 a day for 12 hour shifts, meaning they have little choice but to turn to low cost caterers to provide their meals
- Unfortunately, the food served is often paltry, nutritionally insufficient and sometimes downright rotten
