MOM appoints operators for two recreation centres

The ministry made the call for proposals in June.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has appointed two new operators to run Kaki Bukit Recreation Centre (KBRC) and Woodlands Recreation Centre (WRC) as part of ongoing efforts to improve the diversity and quality of offerings to support the social and recreational needs of migrant workers in Singapore.

Following a Call for Proposal launched in June 2025, MOM has appointed the consortium of Hope Initiative Alliance and Advancer IFM Pte Ltd to operate KBRC from 1 January 2026, while the Dormitory Association of Singapore Limited (DASL) will operate WRC from 1 April 2026.

The appointment of both operators will be valid for three years.

The two were selected to operate KBRC and WRC, respectively, based on their experience with migrant worker initiatives, operational expertise and alignment with MOM’s priorities.

Both operators’ diverse programming, attractive offerings and plans to collaborate with non-governmental organisations and community partners support MOM’s objective of enhancing the appeal of RCs as vibrant spaces for engagement whilst meeting workers’ social and recreational needs.

By partnering with experienced organisations like HIA and DASL, we have made good strides in better meeting the needs of migrant workers through new ideas and networks of partners. Together, we aim to provide diverse programmes and attractive offerings that make our RCs venues of choice for migrant workers and enhance their overall well-being,” said Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Minister of State for Manpower

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
