Kopi has a rich history in Singapore, dating back to the 19th century when European settlers in colonial Singapore had a habit of drinking coffee. They imported arabica beans, which merchants coated with sugar to preserve it during shipping. When locals picked up the habit as well, many could only afford the cheaper robusta beans grown in Indonesia.

In traditional style, the beans were brewed using a flannel 'sock' filter, finishing off with sugar and evaporated milk. And the Singapore Kopi - a thick, sweet coffee - is thus born.

Effective communication at work is key to success, and this involves understanding and adapting to different personality types. Whether you're interacting with a co-worker who is introverted or extroverted, it's important to listen actively and be respectful of their perspective. Remember to also be clear and concise in your own communication, and don't be afraid to ask for clarification if needed. By practicing empathy and open-mindedness, we can create a positive and productive work environment for all!

According to data from the Ministry of Manpower in Singapore, the median hourly wage for cleaners in the city-state is SGD8.50 as of 2021. This is lower than the minimum wages in many other high-income countries.

With the right training and education, you can increase your pay and advance your career in the cleaning industry.
