On 6 Sept morning, a group of migrant workers gathered in the heart of Singapore's business district - Clarke Quay for a photo walk. Led by Chin Hock, Hermie, Benjamin, Joseph and Tony, they explored Clarke Quay and captured its beauty through their lenses. From bustling markets to serene parks, they documented their experiences and a few migrant workers shared their stories to be aired on the national TV Programme Channel 8 , 晨光|不同凡想.
The photo walk and filming of the TV programme had a significant impact on the migrant workers who participated. Many of them had never been given the opportunity to showcase their creativity and perspectives before. They felt empowered and valued, and their photos provided a glimpse into their lives and experiences.
The programme also had a broader impact on Singaporean society. By showcasing the migrant workers' perspectives, it challenged stereotypes and promoted social integration. It is our wish that it helped to break down barriers and fostered a sense of community between migrant workers and Singaporean residents.
