When the Water Tastes Funny

(Singapore) Last month, an Indonesian maid was reportedly murdered and her body was found in a rooftop water tank. Local news stated that blood stained the water tank.

A Bangladeshi maintenance worker was quickly identified as a suspect and subsequently charged with the murder.

Understandably, the incident prompted Singaporeans to express persistent concerns regarding access to rooftop water tanks.

Some residents claimed that they have seen workers emerging from the rooftop water tank room with bathing towels.

Residents also believe that the workers have brought women to the water tank room for sexual trysts, and that the men bathe in the tanks after having sex.

Blame and anger are directed toward foreign workers, justifiably, it appears.
