To show appreciation for the migrant workers in Singapore, many of whom are Bangladeshi, Summit Power International Limited ("SPIL") has hosted a breaking of fast (Iftar) for about 200 workers during the holy month of Ramadan.
Muhammed Aziz Khan, the Founder Chairman of the Summit Group broke fast with the workers at a workers' dormitory in Space@Tuas, recently, says a press release.
Another 200 meals were provided for the Muslim workers who were not able to attend the event physically. SPI also presented gifts to 1,400 workers as well as appreciation cards and crafts - prepared by about 50 students - were presented to the workers at the dormitory.
The students are from the Big Heart Student Care Services at Zhangde Primary School and the German European School Singapore ("GESS") in Singapore. The cards and crafts were presented by the teachers from GESS on behalf of the students.
This is the first Singapore Iftar event sponsored by SPIL, the Singapore-headquartered parent of Bangladesh's largest private sector power generation company.
Besides Iftar, SPIL is also engaged in other corporate social responsibility ("CSR") efforts in Bangladesh, including charity donations for neuro-divergent children.
Muhammed Aziz Khan said, "Throughout the years, social responsibility remains a core principle of the Summit Group.
Bangladeshi nationals comprise a significant number of the migrant workers in Singapore. This year's Iftar that we sponsored in Singapore underscores our efforts to give back."
