More Opportunities for Migrant Workers to Build Lasting Connections

The migrant community here can look forward to more cultural exchanges and learning opportunities as part of new initiatives supported by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

These exchanges include monthly heritage tours, interfaith dialogues and festive celebrations.

Announcing this during the Racial Harmony Day celebrations at Sembawang Recreation Centre on July 20, Minister of State for Manpower Dinesh Vasu Dash said that to do this, the ministry will strengthen its partnership with non-profit organisation Hope Initiative Alliance (HIA).

He said: "We hope to create opportunities for 4,000 migrant workers and 1,000 locals to learn about each other's cultures, share life experiences and build lasting connections every year.

"These initiatives reflect our commitment to strengthen support for our migrant community through skills development, cultural interaction and enhanced peer support networks."
