PETALING JAYA – Since the imposition of the movement control order (MCO) on Wednesday (March 18), some Malaysian workers in Singapore have resorted to sleeping outside an MRT station, reports Today Online.
Storekeeper Armel Sharil, 31, said that he waited until the metal gates of the Kranji MRT Station closed at 1am before laying down a cardboard on the floor to sleep on.
“I’ll wake up at about 5am, around the time the station opens,” he was quoted as saying by the Singaporean news portal.
He said his employer was still looking for accommodation for him.
Armel, who did not have time to pack his belongings, only had his wallet, a phone with no Internet access, a portable charger, a small tub of hair wax and mouthwash that he just bought.
“I’m going to continue working here even if the lockdown is extended because I need to feed my family back home.”
“I’m so tired but I can’t sleep because I really miss them,” he said.
Armel was one of about 20 Malaysians who spent Wednesday (March 18) night around the station.
