Migrant worker newcomers to Bukit Timah give back by trimming grass in neighbourhood

SINGAPORE - A group of more than 10 Bukit Timah residents rolled up their sleeves and spent Sunday morning helping to trim some 1.5 hectares of overgrown grass around Housing Board blocks in Toh Yi.

One of them is Mr Natesan Muniaiah, 32, a worker from India who has been in Singapore for eight years. His employer, Woh Hup, had agreed to the initiative as had King Wan Construction, which employs some of the other workers. "I was very touched by how positively the workers responded to the community's efforts to welcome them and that they are willing to come out and help us even on their rest day," she said.

"The grassy areas around here are where children sometimes play. So I was very happy to see them cutting the grass this morning," added the resident who has lived in Toh Yi for three years.
