As a long-time advocate for safe and proper housing for our migrant workers, we are pleased to learn that our calls for better dormitory standards have been heard with MOM's announcement of the upcoming government-built dormitories. These innovative dorms represent a significant step toward providing our migrant brothers with the dignity and comfort they deserve. At MWC, we’re proud to have contributed to this milestone through consultation efforts alongside our migrant worker ambassadors. Earlier this year, a mock-up dormitory room was set up at MWC Recreation Club @ Soon Lee, where our ambassadors shared valuable insights and feedback on the design. Their input helped refine the dormitory layout to better address workers' practical needs while embracing innovation. This platform also empowered them to propose ideas for future living spaces for their peers. Our ambassadors play an essential role—not only as event supporters but as leaders and voices from the ground. Their perspectives ensure that new developments remain focused on the real needs of migrant workers, making them active participants in shaping their own futures. This development highlights the power of collaboration between government agencies, NGOs, industry leaders, and the workers themselves. We hope these new standards will inspire other dormitory operators across the industry to elevate housing standards for migrant workers.

When we hear about the migrant experience in Singapore, the stories often portray their struggles and difficulties in Singapore. Those experiences are real and valid but often inspire sympathy instead of empathy towards the migrant community. We at MWC also want to shed light on another side — how our migrant brothers live beyond work, pursuing their passions in their free time! 🎨🎶 ✨ Introducing MWC After Hours ✨, a new series celebrating migrant workers in Singapore and their diverse hobbies! For our first episode, let's meet Ajay, a calisthenics enthusiast who has stunned us with his athletic abilities 💪 If you know any migrant workers with cool hobbies (it could be someone who enjoys cooking, music or arts) that you’d like us to feature next, send us a message! - MWC is also on the lookout for volunteers! If you’d like to make a difference in the lives of our migrant brothers, you can sign up here: bit.ly/MWCVOLUNTEER 🙌 #MWC #MWCAfterHours
