Indian Community Appreciation Dinner – 11 January 2025

SIET Receives Significant Donation in Support of Educational Upliftment

SIET was deeply honoured at the Indian Community Appreciation Dinner on 11 January 2025, where Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong presented a generous donation of $150,000 to support SIET’s work. The cheque was received by SIET President Mr Vikram Nair and Chairman Mr Jayaprakash Jagateesan on behalf of the organisation.

The event, attended by around 2,000 guests, brought together Cabinet Ministers, MPs, community leaders, and volunteers in celebration of the Indian community’s contributions to Singapore. In his address, SM Lee expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the community’s resilience and impact.

His message resonated deeply:

The Singaporean Indian community may be small, but your impact and contributions to Singapore are far from small.

This meaningful contribution will enable SIET to continue widening access to education, strengthening social mobility, and uplifting the next generation. SIET extends its sincere gratitude to the donor, Senior Minister Lee, and all supporters who continue to stand with us in our mission.
