My Grandfather, The Cleaner

This winning video of the "180 Short Film Competition" (Professional Category) by Ray Pang Yoong Hui depicts the story of a teenage girl who recalls her memories of her grandfather whenever she encounters elderly cleaners.

The "180 Short Film Competition" was conceptualised to heighten the appreciation and encourage respect for frontline workers in the Cleaning, Security, Landscape, Floristry and Social Service sectors, and the important role they play in society. Often, in our busy lives, it is easy to forget the people who have done the invisible work for us - the uncle who cleans up after us at the hawker centre, the aunt who washes the toilet in the shopping mall and the janitor who carries a heavy load of garbage after clearing our bins.

Life lessons on empathy and appreciation.
