In the minute-long clip which was circulated on WhatsApp Messenger and social media apps such as TikTok, a foreign worker was filmed through the gates of a construction site.

“Eh, open the door, open the door, eh”, he added, asking the foreign worker to wait by the gate.

Referring to the worker as “Eh” or “Oi” throughout the video, the man claiming to be an officer from the Ministry of Manpower was called out by netizens for not being kinder as there was no need for him to speak rudely to the worker.

The video was uploaded to TikTok by another 25-year old worker from Bangladesh.

In response, the person who posted the video added that because they were officers from the MOM they could say whatever they wanted and that it did not matter.

Other netizens who commented on the video also called out the officer for being so rude to the worker. There were netizens who also said that many food stall operators did not wear masks either, yet no one checked on them.
