For two nights, this migrant worker had no place to stay, and had to temporarily seek refuge at a void deck in Hougang after he was allegedly declined a spot at a dormitory.
When interviewed, he revealed himself to be 46-year-old Chen Youhong, who hails from Hefei, Anhui province, China. However, Chen was paranoid that if he were to get on the bus, he might be sent to the airport and be repatriated back to China, so he decided to get to the new dormitory on his own instead.
"Manager Lee told me that the dormitory is closed on weekends. I was already given the address, but yet I was denied entry, isn't this making things difficult for me?" Chen said. "We also rent out the dormitory for others, and we couldn't let [Chen] in as the administrator isn't here during the weekend."Touched by residents' hospitality
Resident Liu, when interviewed, said that she had specifically bought dinner for him, and even asked if he needed to charge his phone.
