Yes, Singapore probably couldn't exist without its poor guest workers. One of my in-laws is a long-time truck driver there for construction companies, and he and his colleagues live in makeshift shanties on construction sites, making 450 USD per month while working 12 hours a day.

It is sickening to see people boasting of the beauty of civilized Singapore and shaming the poor laborers, the ones who make the city beautiful and are massively underpaid for their effort.
