A video of a migrant worker giving two Singaporeans a lift after midnight has gone viral online.The video, posted by Instagram user Richelle, shows her and a friend sitting in the back of a pickup lorry at night.She explained that they were in an "'ulu' place", a local term for a remote or isolated area, and had been unable to get a ride on any ride-hailing platform for about 30 minutes."[We] asked a few Singaporeans for a lift to somewhere with more visibility to no avail," wrote Richelle.The pair eventually approached a migrant worker and asked if he could drop them off nearby. He agreed immediately."He agreed with zero hesitation. I don't even think I completed my sentence," Richelle said, touched by the stranger's act of kindness.In her caption, she wrote: "This video really goes to show Singapore's migrant workers have the biggest hearts."The pair later learnt that the foreign worker was sleeping at East Coast Park because his shift starts at 3am and it was 12am at the time.He told the pair that this was his regular sleeping schedule and he only gets the weekends off, after he completes his eight-hour shifts.
