The particular trip to the Museum of Ice Cream was organised on 28 April this year, in lieu of Labour Day on 1 May.
The tickets to the museum, as well as the lunch after the excursion and travel to and from the museum, were fully paid for by Westlite.
A spokesperson for Centurion Corporation told MS News that such Resi-Life events are tailored to focus on the “physical, social and mental wellbeing” of migrant workers living in Westlite accommodations.
“Our migrant workers work under harsh weather condition, and during the month of April, Singapore is experiencing heatwave, so we thought this place is good for them to enjoy their day somewhere cool and enjoy unlimited servings of ice cream,” they said.

The Museum of Ice Cream was also chosen as the workers were able to snap nice photos to show their families back home.
