And still they complain! I say fucking let them starve
Some workers still unhappy about food at dorms; MOM says it is continually improving the quality

-Some workers said that they had seen a marked improvement in the variety and quality of food given but others said they were still occasionally being given meals that were undercooked or which did not suit their culture.
-Asked what the problem was with the food initially, Indian national who works in the construction industry said: “The vegetable was soggy and there was no gravy.”
-Mr Mundla said that while the meals provided are not as good as what he cooks for himself, he acknowledged that it is not an easy feat to cater food on a large scale.
-Bangladeshi national Rahman Mahbobor, 29, shipyard worker, said that he had been receiving Malay food earlier — a cuisine which he was not used to.
-But lately, he has been provided with Indian food and while it is not the same as his own culture’s cuisine, he explained it is a bit more to his liking and more similar to food from his country.
-The food label said fish but what he saw in his bento box did not resemble it.
-The Indian national added that the rice was undercooked and the portion on some days was also inadequate.
-He said that when he and his roommates are given such meals, they resort to eating apples and drinking water instead.
-Mr Prasath stressed that they are not asking for fancy meals and will be satisfied if simple South Indian food is provided.
-Meanwhile, fellow resident Sohrab and his Bangladeshi compatriots have been forcing themselves to eat the food provided for their pre-dawn meals as they are observing the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
-The 32-year-old electrician, who declined to provide his full name, said he does this despite experiencing diarrhoea on April 24, which he attributed to the catered dhal, curry and rice he ate the night before.
-Mr Sohrab was also upset that the food provided was not what Bangladeshis typically eat. On Wednesday morning, for instance, he was served fish curry, dhal and rice.
-The fish, he said, had been boiled and mixed with tomato. While the food was not spoilt, Mr Sohrab said it is not the way Bangladeshis would prepare it.
-“(We) never touch the curry, just eat the rice or dhal,” he said.
