Discover Singapore is a program under TWC2 that organises excursions and social activities for migrant workers staying in Singapore on a Special Pass, due to injuries or salary disputes. These trips aim to raise awareness among the migrant workers about the Singaporean culture and landscape. They provide opportunities for the workers to interact with the locals, whilst sharing their own insights. Importantly, the outings give them the opportunity to forget about everyday struggles and engage in much-needed social interactions.

Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) promotes fair treatment for migrant workers. We envision a society that recognizes and values the important contribution they make to our households, economy and country.

All labour is dignified and should be treated with respect and consideration. Ethnicity, colour, gender, language, religion or class are irrelevant – no worker should be subjected to inhumane or degrading treatment. Employers should conduct their business honourably, responsibly and compensate their staff promptly and fairly
