- Phoebe Olivia posted a photo of a construction worker on a rooftop with his head bowed down to the ground.
- While his helmet and boots were laid down beside him, the man still had his high-visibility vest strap and safety gear on
- His head was bowed down on what looked like a small blue plastic sheet that served as a prayer mat.
The heartwarming post was shared to a Facebook page called Complaint Singapore where people share their first-world problems, “vent their anger and unhappiness, share their bad experiences in Singapore and most importantly, complaints,” as written in the description page.

According to statistics from 2010, about 15% of Singapore’s resident population aged 15 years and over are Muslims.
A majority of Malays are Sunni Muslims. 17 percent of Muslims in Singapore are of South Asian origin.
Muslims pray five times a day, with each prayer made of a series of postures and movements, each set of which is called a rak‘ah.
The five prayer times are divided all through the day which starts with Fajr prayer at dawn.
