A photo of a man who appears to be a migrant cleaner using a floor mop to wipe the tables at a local coffeeshop has disgusted netizens. According to Singapore Hardware Zone, the incident was captured at Changi Village hawker centre.

Posted first on the Hardware Zone yesterday, the picture was later re-posted on social media by Facebook group ‘SINK – Singapore Ink’, where it has already racked up over 160 shares online:
