LETTERS: Being a Bangladeshi university academic, I am happy to chat with Bangladeshis who work in shops, grocery stores and petrol stations. I try to understand their life, experiences and challenges they face in a foreign land. I learn a lot from their struggles and am humbled by the beauty of their simplicity. Recently, I went to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) for an overseas trip. I was satisfied with the toilet's cleanliness. I had a chat with a Bangladeshi cleaner standing there with his cleaning tools. At the toilet, I found the smell of cleaning chemicals unbearable. I also asked why he was standing at the toilet even though everything was tidy.
