SINGAPORE: A group that cares for the needs of migrant workers gave them a special treat last weekend, inviting them to attend the SG Grand Prix for the first time.

“Our migrant brothers had a blast on Friday night,” wrote ItsRainingRaincoats (IRR) in a Facebook post on Saturday (Sept 16), where it underlined the workers’ significant contribution to the event.

They “are the ones who build and tar the roads the cars race on, they are the ones who toil for days and weeks prior to the event to set up the stands and bridges and all the infrastructure. And they are the ones who will toil long after the crowds and teams have left, to dismantle and store it all until next year,” the post reads.

“It’s only right they enjoy a little of it.”

ItsRainingRaincoats also thanked those who got involved in helping the workers “get a glimpse of what all their hard work looks like on the actual night”, including Mr Alvin Tan, Minister of State and MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC,
