The pandemic has brought home the hard work of our food delivery riders. Day and night, rain or shine, they are out and about, getting our orders to us while we work from home, or when dining-in restrictions are in force.
His personal experience as a food delivery rider inspired Muhammad Ruzhael Marwazi from Institute of Technical Education, Singapore College Central to create this touching a short film called “Kejar” (or chase in Malay). It tells of the challenges delivery riders face as they “chase” as many orders as they can in a day.
Ruzhael’s film won the Best Direction Award (Student Category) at this year's ciNE65 Movie Maker Awards. These Awards are organised by NEXUS, Ministry of Defence, Singapore (MINDEF), which aims to capture our Singapore identity through the lens of our young filmmakers.
Congratulations to Ruzhael and all the ciNE65 Movie Makers Awards winners! You can watch the other winning short films here: https://go.gov.sg/5j3uk0
Let's continue to be grateful to food delivery riders, and the delivery personnel who keep things running. – LHL
