More than 60 Indian restaurants rallied together on Sunday, distributing 60,000 meals to migrant workers across Singapore. The event was part of the SG60 and Labour Day celebrations, recognizing the invaluable role these workers play in the city-state's development.
Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, who took part in the food distribution at Little India, emphasized the importance of the contributions made by these workers.
