Strengthening Partnerships: Welcoming MWC Ambassadors to NESST Tukang

We were delighted to welcome Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC) Ambassadors to NESST Tukang for a fruitful exchange on dormitory operations and resident engagement. Many of these leaders have journeyed with NESST since the very beginning, supporting us through key milestones as we reimagine dormitory living. Their encouraging feedback strengthens our commitment to continually improve and to work closely with our community, residents, and partners to uplift the well-being our Tukang Community.

NESST-DASL Joint Partnership Forum

The NESST team was honoured to host Minister of State Dinesh at the NESST Tukang Dormitory. The visit provided an opportunity to share more about NESST, our current progress in construction and highlight innovative design features that enhance comfort, safety, and liveability for our migrant residents.

Recognising NESST Board and Advisory Panel

Behind every milestone lies a network of dedicated partners who believe in the mission. For NESST, the journey to develop the NESST Tukang Dormitory — the first MOM-owned dormitory — has been strengthened by the steadfast support of the NESST Board of Directors and the MOM Design Advisory Panel. Their guidance has shaped NESST’s approach to uplifting standards and liveability in migrant worker housing, ensuring that the project stands on a strong and sustainable foundation. As NESST prepares for the official launch of Tukang Dormitory, this achievement stands as a reflection of shared purpose, collaboration, and commitment to building better homes for workers.

NESST Shines at MOM’s Tech & Innovation Day

NESST was proud to take part in MOM’s Tech & Innovation Day, showcasing our innovations and exchanging ideas with fellow MOMers. The event sparked fresh insights and reinforced our drive to challenge the status quo and simplify work processes. As change remains constant, how we harness it defines the future. NESST continues to strengthen the resilience of the migrant worker ecosystem — partnering across people, private and public sectors to enhance dormitory management capabilities and drive innovation for a more secure, connected, and liveable dormitory system.
