Hi SGN Community👋

A heartwarming throwback to the delightful tea reception in Boston with Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, hosted by the Singapore Embassy and SGN. 🫖

It was a great opportunity for our overseas Singaporean community to connect, exchange ideas, and draw inspiration from one another.

Hello SGN community 👋

Last month, Team SGN flew down under to celebrate SGN's 5th Anniversary with the amazing Singaporean community in Australia! 🇸🇬🇦🇺

As a cheeky lil bit of fun, we gave our team a film camera to capture the SGN5 events and moments with the community— and it made its way around to everyone!

The film’s finally developed, and let’s just say, the memories are priceless. A huge thanks to everyone in Australia for being so welcoming and making this celebration unforgettable, and our team for being part of this project.

Want to see all the film pictures? Head over to the Singaporeans in Australia page and check out the full roll 🎞

Chope Chope is a food pop-up at The Hood Paris featuring guest chefs from Singapore. Over the past months, 3 exciting pop-ups have taken place, and this week marks the final one.

Everyone had a blast learning more about Singapore’s rich food culture and savouring mouth-watering Singaporean delights.
