Exactly this. Kudos to all essential workers. Esp the unsung heroes who are always working behind the scenes tiredlesy and unselfishly. We salute you 💯💯 Thank you for sharing, ur dad is a great man. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My dad is an essential worker.
No, he is not a doctor or a nurse, he also could not read or write. He is but a hardworking man who keeps our streets and parks clean and has been for the past four decades of his life.
But people like my dad, not forgetting countless others in other essential services such as our food delivery riders, public transport operators and supermarket staff play as important a role in keeping our country moving in the midst of this extremely trying period. My dad and other essential workers continue being out and about - placing themselves exposed to this hidden enemy. This worries me more because my dad is a senior citizen, making him among the vulnerable subset of our community.
I take this moment to urge everybody to take the circuit breaker with utmost seriousness. Play your part in keeping our seniors, loved ones and families safe and to not overwhelm our frontline workers. While they do appreciate the singalongs, claps and cheers that we have been giving thus far, the greatest form of respect and tribute that you could offer in your own capabilities to them is by simply staying at home. It's already a difficult period, so let's not be a difficult people.
Please, let's do some good together by staying home for our seniors, staying home for our frontline workers, #stayinghomeforSG.
P.S. When I sneakily took this photo of my dad getting ready for work earlier today during Sahur, I was feeling overwhelmed looking at how extraordinary of a man my father is and how unbelievably proud and lucky I am to be his son - no matter what society views him as.
I ask Allah SWT to protect him, bless him with health and happiness in this world and the highest level of Paradise in the hereafter for the wonders that he have done for my mom, brothers and I since the day he asked my mom for her hand in marriage and in starting a family together. Amin.

Letter To Prada
May 29, 2014
Mr. Carlo Mazzi, Chairperson and Executive Director
Dear Sir:
Greetings! We hope this finds you well. As a community organization, South Horizons Concern Group is committed to Hong Kong’s core values. Naturally, the issues of town and zoning changes deeply concern us.
It has come to our attention that Prada’s store lease in Marina Square East Center will soon expire, and your business has a plan to move its retail operations to Marina Square WestCenter (Marina West).
In the past twenty years, Marina West has continuously provided essential services to the residents ofSouth Horizons, including clinics, cram schools, and other small businesses.
Some of them have bonded strongly with the residents, as they have been operating there for over a decade. Nonetheless, they were forced out in order to make space for a number of name-brand outletstores, of which Prada is one.
As eighteenth-century Anglican cleric Sydney Smith put it, “a comfortable house is a great source of happiness.” The people of Hong Kong work hard in order to provide for their families homes that arethe cornerstone of a happy, self-sufficient life. Due to its geographical seclusion, South Horizons is designed neither to be a tourist attraction nor to handle massive tourist traffic.
We sincerely hope that Prada will fully consider the negative impact its retail operations will bring to our neighborhood, and halt any plan to open a store in Marina West.
Should you be interested to discuss it further, we welcome dialogues with you or your delegate.
Best Regards,
South Horizons Concern Group
