Summit Group holds iftar in singapore for about 200 migrant workers

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.

Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, the Founder Chairman of the Summit Group, broke fast with the workers at a workers' dormitory in Space@Tuas on 20th March 2025. Another 200 meals were provided for the Muslim workers who could not physically attend the event.

SPI also presented gifts to 1,400 workers and appreciation cards and crafts—prepared by about 50 students—to the dormitory workers. The students are from the Big Heart Student Care Services at Zhangde Primary School and the German European School Singapore ("GESS") in Singapore. The teachers from GESS presented the cards and crafts on behalf of the students.

This is the first Singapore Iftar event sponsored by SPIL, the Singapore-headquartered parent company 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, participation in UNICEF initiatives to help school dropouts and support of scientific research on nutrition and online education.

Mr 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 we sponsored in Singapore underscores our efforts to give back."

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

Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, a Singaporean of Bangladeshi origin, was awarded the Public Service Medal (COVID-19) in October 2023 for engaging and helping Bangladeshi workers who were isolated in the local dormitories during the pandemic.

Ms Patricia Amorim and Ms Marieke Bink, teachers at GESS, said, "We 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. This event fostered creativity and facilitated genuine interactions between the students as they shared stories and ideas. The cards produced are a beautiful testament to their teamwork and compassion, showcasing the power of community and the importance of supporting those who contribute so much to our society."

Shaina, a Big Heart Student Care representative, said, "We are delighted to partner with the German European School Singapore for a meaningful initiative to give 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. This significant event not only instilled a deep sense of gratitude in the students but also helped foster new friendships and lasting memories. It was a powerful reflection of the true spirit of multiculturalism and inclusivity—values that have brought us together and been instrumental in Singapore's success over the past 60 years."
