The landlord, who is a PRC, lives with her daughter in the master room with another few female tenants.
The rest of the flat is occupied by males.
The tenants are all foreign workers from countries such as Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand and China and some of them are staying illegally in Singapore beyond the time allowed on their work passes. Residents pay between $230 and $300 a month for a bed.
