What does a child miss most when a father is away? Is it the things he provides, the advice he gives or simply knowing that he is there? During a recent Open Visit in September 2026, held as part of the BapaHebat SG Fathering BootCamp at Prison School, fathers were given an opportunity to spend meaningful time with their children and family members. They played together, exchanged affirmations, held hands, hugged and shared conversations that had been difficult to have while

On the evening of 9 October 2026, Dewan Solat Masjid Muhajirin hosted a gathering of around 60 dedicated mothers and fathers for Forum Mutiara Ulama. Organized in collaboration with BapaHebatSG and Jin Tai Secondary School Alumni, the event brought the community together to explore a vital topic: "Ayah Sebagai Qudwah: Membina Peribadi Anak Melalui Teladan" (Fathers as Role Models: Building a Child's Character Through Example). The session featured insightful discussions by es

On 3rd and 4th October 2026, BapaHebat SG was grateful to participate in MENDAKI’s Raikan Ilmu at One Punggol. Across the two days, close to 400 people visited and participated at our booth. The number was encouraging. But what mattered more to us were the small moments behind that number — fathers stopping to reflect, children writing messages to their dads, families taking part together, and conversations that opened up naturally around fatherhood, parenting and relationshi

TehTarik with Dads and Mums | 3 October 2026 | One PunggolIn support of MENDAKI’s Raikan Ilmu How do we raise children who are confident — not only when things are going well, but especially when they are uncertain, disappointed or afraid to try? That question sat at the heart of our latest TehTarik with Dads and Mums session, Raising Confident Children: Helping Our Children Believe, Try and Grow. From the outset, the conversation was never intended to suggest that confident

“What is one thing about fatherhood that feels difficult for you right now?” That was the question we put to fathers at Fathering Community Network 2026 – Session 8. There was no fixed teaching topic for the evening. Instead, fathers were invited to bring what was real for them — current concerns, parenting challenges, situations at home and questions they wanted to explore with other fathers. What followed was an honest and practical conversation around everyday parenting, h

Community Dialogue | 27 September 2026 | SPARKS @ Bukit Canberra What does it mean to raise a resilient child? That was the question at the heart of our Community Dialogue, “Motivation & Handling Obstacles: How Fathers Can Raise Resilient Learners,” organised by M³@Woodlands and BapaHebatSG at SPARKS @ Bukit Canberra. Throughout the morning, our panelists and participants shared perspectives, personal experiences and lessons from their own journeys as parents. We spoke about

On 25 August 2026, 12 fathers came together at The Foundry for Fathering Community Network 2026 – Session 7, a Learning Journey focused on one of the most important parts of fatherhood: how we communicate with our children. Facilitated by Brother Farid Jaaffar, the session introduced fathers to the LISTEN framework, a practical approach adapted from Motivational Interviewing principles for everyday conversations at home. The emphasis was not on turning fathers into counsellor

With gratitude and humility, we are pleased to share that BapaHebat SG Limited was officially registered as a charity in Singapore on 7 August 2026. This is a meaningful milestone for us. However, we do not see it as a destination or an achievement that belongs to us alone. We see it as a greater responsibility entrusted to us—to serve fathers, strengthen families and contribute to the wider community. Our journey has been shared BapaHebatSG began with a simple belief: when f

On 29 July 2026, 17 fathers came together for Session 6 of the Fathering Community Network (FCN) to explore a simple but profound question: What values do we hope our children will carry with them when they leave home? Unlike a traditional talk, this session was designed as an interactive dialogue, giving fathers the opportunity to learn from one another through reflection, discussion and shared experiences. One of the evening's highlights was the "Backpack Activity." Fathers

On 24 July 2026, BapaHebatSG had the honour of attending the Singapore Prison Service Volunteer Awards Ceremony 2026 at Singapore EXPO. The theme for the evening, “Stronger Together, Rebuilding Lives,” reflects closely the work that our volunteers have been quietly carrying out over the years. While the recognition may be received in the name of BapaHebatSG, it does not belong to one person alone. It belongs to every volunteer who has contributed time, energy, ideas, encourag

The Conversation That Could Change Everything What if the greatest gift a father could give his child isn't more advice... But a conversation where his child feels truly heard? That was the challenge posed to 20 fathers at our latest Fathering Community Network (FCN) session, "Talking So Our Children Will Talk." It wasn't another parenting lecture. It was an evening of reflection, interaction and practical learning that challenged fathers to rethink one of the most important

The past weekend (13th and 14th June) was a meaningful and memorable one for BapaHebat SG as we participated in the Raikan Ilmu 2026 event at Our Tampines Hub organised by MENDAKI. Over two vibrant days, we had the privilege of engaging hundreds of fathers, mothers, children, and members of the community through activities that celebrated fatherhood, family bonding, and lifelong learning. Our booth quickly became a gathering point for families. One of the highlights was the

At BapaHebatSG, we believe that fatherhood begins with one critical shift:not just guiding our children—but understanding how they grow, learn, and behave. On 29 April 2026, we held our third Fathering Community Network session, centred on:Understanding your child—development and needs. We were honoured to have Bro Sufian Hanafi with us, helping fathers unpack this topic in a practical, relatable, and grounded way. Starting with Real Questions from Fathers We opened the sessi

At the Yellow Ribbon Appreciation & Awards Ceremony 2026, the spotlight was on celebration — but what stood out most was not the awards. It was the journeys behind them. Three individuals — Hamzah Ariff, Roje Puteh, and Hamdan Hussain — walked onto the stage to receive recognition. To many, it may have seemed like a moment of achievement. But in reality, it represented something far more significant:a long, often difficult journey of change, responsibility, and rebuilding. Tr

On the 18th April 2026, we had the opportunity to partner with M3 @ Jurong, Masjid Maarof, Masjid Ar-Raudhah for a special session titled “Bapakku, Imamku”—a reflection on the role of fathers as leaders within the family. The session brought together a strong panel of speakers: Ustaz Dr Mohamed Fatris Bin Bakaram Mustakem bin Mohamad Rais Mohammad Sufian Bin Mohd Noor The discussion was lively, engaging, and deeply grounded in real-life experiences. What stood out most was n

A Heartwarming BapaHebatSG Hari Raya Gathering 2026. On a warm Sunday afternoon, 12 April, BapaHebatSG brought together our community for a meaningful Hari Raya celebration titled “Fathers, Families & Friends — Together for Raya.” Held at Majestic Hall, Lagun Sari, the gathering welcomed more than 60 participants — a vibrant mix of fathers, volunteers, their families, children, advisors, partners, and supporters. It was more than just a Raya open house. It was a reflection of

Sometimes, meaningful collaborations begin with a simple conversation. And sometimes, when the right people gather with a shared purpose, sparks fly . Yesterday’s meeting with the M³ Woodlands team was one of those moments where you could feel the energy in the room. When people who care about families, community, and the well-being of fathers come together, the possibilities become exciting. We explored how a potential collaboration between M³ Woodlands and BapaHebatSG cou

Eight Fathers Step Forward: A New Chapter in the BapaHebatSG Fathering Journey On 8 March , something meaningful unfolded within the BapaHebatSG community. Eight committed fathers successfully completed the Fathering 101 Train-the-Trainer (TTT) Programme (aka ICAN TTT) , conducted by Edwin Choy . More than just a training programme, the session marked an important step in strengthening our fathering movement — fathers learning not only to grow in their own parenting journeys,

That was one of the reflections shared by a father at today’s final session of Fathering Journey 101 (Session 2) . Seven fathers graduated today.Different ages. Different life journeys. Different family realities.Yet for two weeks, they chose to show up—consistently, intentionally, and with humility. What stood out was not just the content delivered, but what happened between the fathers . Participants spoke about: Gaining new perspectives they did not expect Learning from m

At last night’s Fathering Community Network session, fathers came together to reflect on their fathering journeys in 2025 and to articulate their intentions for 2026. The conversations went beyond surface-level goal setting and touched on the realities many fathers are navigating. Key themes that emerged included learning to let go of past hurts and unhelpful patterns, the ongoing work of bridging and mending strained family relationships, and gaining greater awareness of the
