I was shocked to read about packed food delivered to migrant workers being left in the open in such an unhygienic state (

Food meant for migrant workers left unattended outside dorms,

April 10).

We need to fine-tune the operational details of how packed food is dispatched from a caterer’s kitchen and how the meals are distributed to migrant workers and stored.

If meals are delivered too early, the food will turn bad and put workers’ health at risk.

I urge the Government to impose more stringent monitoring and enforcement of safety standards. We must hold everyone accountable in ensuring that the food meant for migrant workers meets safety standards.
