"We are pleased to see an ever increasing number of Singaporeans moving to Dubai and contributing to the growth of the Emirate. We are delighted to bring the community together tonight to share in the Singapore Spirit here in Dubai,"


said Mr. Dileep Nair, Consul General of Singapore in Dubai.

Guests enjoyed a buffet dinner where authentic Singaporean cuisine was served, with a contest for the 'Best Dressed' Singaporean couples ending the memorable evening.

In addition, several companies including Certis Security, Crimson Logic, Standard Chartered Bank, and ST Engineering donated furniture and equipment to the Manzil Centre for Challenged Individuals.

With over 800 Singaporeans in Dubai and some 200 Singapore companies registered in the UAE, Singapore's growing local presence is underpinned by the close bilateral relations formed between the two nations over the past decade.
