SINGAPORE: A recent Facebook post from a Singaporean man appears to have resonated with many on the platform, based on how many people have responded to it.
In it, Sam Choo, who is an online bookstore owner, posted a cartoon of a Singaporean man at work surrounded by people speaking in a foreign language. The man has a sad look on his face, and the question “Do I still belong here?” is written on top of the cartoon.
Mr Choo wrote on February 15 (Sunday) about having worked in a big bank in the past and seeing in one department “row after row of desks” with workers who all came from the same country.
“It’s like a foreign village planted into the room,” he added.
He wrote that he had just read, the day before, a post from another Singaporean office worker who also said that most of his colleagues were foreigners. These workers spoke the same language and had their own inside jokes and favourite lunch spots.
