Summit Power International Limited has hosted an iftar party for about 200 workers in Singapore on Thursday.

Muhammed Aziz Khan, founder and chairman of the Summit Group, broke fast with the workers, many of whom are Bangladeshi, at a worker’ dormitory in Space@Tuas, said a press release on Friday.

Another 200 meals were provided for the Muslim workers who were not able to attend the event.

SPIL 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 in Singapore.

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 efforts in Bangladesh, including charity donations for neuro-divergent children, participating in UNICEF initiatives to help school dropouts, as well as supporting scientific research for nutrition and online education, among others.

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 oftar that we sponsored in Singapore underscores our efforts to give back.’

‘I am touched that young students from the two schools have expressed their appreciation to the migrant worker community in Singapore,’ he added.

Patricia Amorim and Marieke Bink, teachers at GESS, said that they were thrilled to have collaborated with students of Big Heart for a meaningful card-making activity, bringing together our Grade 6-8 students with younger brothers and sisters from Big Heart to create heartfelt messages for the migrant workers.

Shaina, a representative of Big Heart Student Care, said, ‘We are delighted to partner with the German European School Singapore for a meaningful initiative aimed at giving back to the community. Last Friday, students gathered to create heartfelt cards for migrant workers, expressing gratitude and appreciation for their vital contributions to Singapore’s growth and development.’
