Inderjit Singh said, “As long as it is done selflessly and not for personal gain, Sikhs can record their contributions as hours clocked. Through this initiative, we hope to rally the community together for a common, positive purpose and to also document the community's contributions to the nation.” [caption id="attachment_223275" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Singapore's Sikh community[/caption] Also Read: Sukhbir Badal thanks PM Modi for accepting 70 year old demand of Sikh community by deciding to establish the Kartarpur corridor [caption id="attachment_223276" align="aligncenter" width="450"] Singapore's Sikh community sets goal of 550,000 volunteer hours for 550th birthday of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji[/caption] The celebrations began last week and will end with 550th Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji’s Prakash Purab on November 12, 2019.
