Bangladeshi workers in the Westlite Juniper dormitory in Mandai were able to break fast to the taste of home yesterday, thanks to snack packages from the Bangladesh High Commission.

High Commissioner Md Mustafizur Rahman said the snacks provided are typically eaten by Bangladeshis when breaking fast, and workers have told them that they missed such food. Mr Mustafizur told The Straits Times that many back home in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, have been asking why migrant workers have been so affected by the virus in Singapore."Right now, what is most important is to see that the infected people are treated and get well, so they can go back to their jobs as soon as possible," said Mr Mustafizur.

The High Commission has plans to distribute snack packages to Bangladeshi workers in all dormitories. It has also included dried food items like sugar, noodles and dates in these packages.
