Community Patrol @ Klang Lane
1 October 2024
During monthly house visits to the HDB blocks at Klang Lane, grassroots leaders would receive feedback from residents about migrant workers loitering at the void decks. The lack of space for migrant workers to mingle led to them gathering at the void decks and upper levels of the blocks. The Community Patrol project, involving the Grassroots Adviser Mr Alvin Tan and grassroots leaders, provided proper spaces for them to mingle.
Our Migrant Guest (OMG), a community volunteer-led team, was formed to engage the migrant workers and provide a supportive environment for them. OMG collaborated with the Tekka Residents’ Network, nearby religious organisations, and government agencies to identify sheltered spaces where migrant workers could rest and recruited community volunteers could engage the migrant workers.

A friendly game of carrom between migrant workers and volunteers.
