Sikhs in Singapore also saw the need to imbibe in the young a Sikh cultural and religious identity and hence gave the Sikh Centre a direction and purpose.
The Sikh Centre is also significant in augmenting the Gurdwara's role in propagating Sikhism. It offers the Sangat a unique Sikhi learning experience that reaches out to all age groups.
