The word that springs to mind when you think of a cleaner's job is unlikely to be 'comfortable'. However, that's exactly how Malaysian Shahrul Nizam Suhaimi describes his work in Singapore.
The 25-year-old father of one shared his experiences as a cleaner here with Malaysian daily Harian Metro, sharing that coming to Singapore was"the best opportunity" and he strives to"do the job well".Mr Shahrul, who previously ran a food business in Johor before its closure, decided to try his luck in Singapore where his sister-in-law works. He briefly held a position in a restaurant before becoming unemployed for three to four months.
However, he has found acceptance and kindness from Singaporeans."So far, no one has ever looked down on me," he shared, adding that many people offer him food, give tips and always greet him warmly. While his TikTok posts have garnered popularity, not all comments have been supportive, with some questioning his choice of occupation.
"As long as my income is 'halal', I don’t mind," he said."People don’t know I have tried many times and gone to interviews but it wasn’t meant to be."
