SUKA is aimed primarily for overseas Singaporean families and friends with an interest in Singapore to interact, develop friendship and to continue to support and celebrate Singapore’s multicultural events.
The nature of SUKA activities revolves around organising social and cultural events like Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Easter, Singapore National Day, Deepavali and Christmas. SUKA also organises informal networking events, informal meals together and group trips.
Please mark your calendar for the below planned date for our upcoming events:
On 27th July 2024, we had a fantastic celebration at Copthorne Tara Hotel with 170 guests, including our High Commissioner Mr. Ng.
The event was filled with Singaporean spirit, camaraderie, and delicious food. Highlights included an impressive circus acrobatic show by Singaporean Jonathan Goh and live music from the band Hao Gong Min. Our SUKA stalwart, Guan Lee, delighted us with his crooning and yodelling, inspiring some members to dance.
Creativity shone in our best-dressed contest, and thanks to our generous sponsors, 24 raffle prizes were given away, including a return ticket to Singapore. Stay tuned for details on our upcoming Singapore Fiesta on October 26th.

SUKA arranged a gathering at Singapulah, where we enjoyed a discounted set menu featuring their most beloved dishes. The cuisine was delightful, complemented by attentive service. We had exclusive use of the entire first floor, as the restaurant was closed to other guests.
The atmosphere was relaxed, fostering a wonderful occasion for old friends to reconnect and new friendships to blossom. Some of us took advantage of their retail store offerings and purchased takeaway items.
Overall, it was a joyous gathering with everyone leaving satisfied and content.
A small group of SUKA members attended the Japanese all-you-can-eat lunch yesterday at Ai Sushi in North Finchley. The food was really fresh and authentic with a great variety of options to choose from and the price was so good. The service was amazing. We had a fabulous time sharing delicious food and great conversations. The photos say it all!

“Through its cultural and networking events, SUKA has been a home away from home for many Singaporeans living in the UK. SUKA provides excellent opportunities for Singaporeans to connect with and support each other while abroad, especially for those new to the UK. It is wonderful to see Singaporeans coming together to celebrate our many multicultural festive events including the Lunar New Year, Deepavali, Hari Raya and Christmas at SUKA events. SUKA also serves as a useful platform for our British and other foreign friends to engage us and build links with Singapore.
The Singapore High Commission is happy to partner SUKA and other entities to provide appropriate assistance to Singaporeans living in the UK. For example, we worked closely together during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide emotional support, medical supplies and food to affected Singaporeans in the UK.
I look forward to building on such close cooperation and partnership with SUKA. Let us work together to keep the Singapore flag flying high in the UK.
I wish SUKA the very best in its ventures ahead!”
Mr Ng Teck Hean, High Commissioner of the Republic of Singapore to the United Kingdom
