Dear Giminie:

You are welcome.

“I can’t quit my  job, as my family is facing financial problems and I am only working in Singapore just to pay my brother’s bachelor degree tuition fee”-

-Wikipedia in its entry “2020 coronavirus pandemic in Malaysia”, reads: “On 27 March, Prime Minister Muhyiddin launched an economic stimulus package known as the ‘caring package’ worth RM250 billion. Of these, RM128 billion was used to protect the welfare of the people”, including “RM200 of one-time assistance to affected higher education institution students. “Various Malaysian states have launched their own stimulus packages and announced immediate financial aid in the form of rental waivers and deferment of student loan repayments”-

-I wonder if your brother back in Malaysia, as a higher education student, qualified for assistance from the federal government or the local state where he lives. With federal/ local help to your family, there is less stress on you, I imagine.

Wikipedia on Singapore, reads: “The pandemic brought the living conditions at foreign worker dormitories to media attention. Dormitories were reported to be unsanitary and crowded, making preventative measures like social distancing difficult”, and in the last week 25 dormitories were declared isolation areas.

-I can see that it’s better for you to not live in a dormitory. I just wish your relatives were nicer people to you! Keep your calm while there best you can, post here anytime, and I hope that you can leave Singapore and be back in Malaysia sooner than later.

Regarding your work place, I hope that if you receive more abuse, consider telling your boss about it. Maybe he will help you and even be happy to help you!
