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

Supporting fathers. Strengthening families. Transforming communities. Every father deserves the chance to be a Dad worth remembering. At BapaHebat SG , we are driven by one simple but powerful belief: fatherhood matters — regardless of where a man is in life. This belief is at the heart of the work you see in the video, where fathers in prison are learning how to rebuild relationships with their children and become better dads, even from behind bars.

Today's, TehTarik With Dads session was one of our most heartfelt conversations yet. Twenty fathers and spouses gathered at The Foundry for an afternoon of honesty, courage, and community — a space where fathers could breathe, listen, and learn from one another. The session, titled “A Father’s Journey: Supporting Your Child Through Mental Health Challenges,” brought together two remarkable fathers: Mr Anuar , who walked a difficult journey beside his child, and Mr Zainal Abi

Tonight at The Foundry , a group of fathers gathered once again — dads from different backgrounds, industries, and stages of life — to do something simple yet deeply meaningful: show up for one another . There was no big ceremony, no fancy programme. Just honest conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of quiet strength that emerges when men choose to grow together instead of walking the journey alone. A Space Where Fathers Learn From Fathers The evening felt special r

Over the past two Sunday mornings, The Foundry buzzed with something special — a room full of fathers choosing to invest in themselves and their families. Not with grand speeches or complicated theories, but with honest conversations, real stories, and meaningful reflection. These men showed up.They listened, shared, laughed, and even challenged themselves to rethink what it means to be a father today. And we could feel it — a shift happening in the room. A sense of purpose.

Last night (29th October 2025), fourteen fathers gathered at The Foundry for our October Fathering Community Networking Session , a space where everyday dads come together to learn, reflect, and grow.The topic — “Bullying in School: What Fathers Can Do.” It wasn’t a lecture. It was a circle — a safe space where men could speak honestly about their fears, past experiences, and hopes for their children. 👨‍👦 Starting with Heart The evening began with warm conversations over l

Honouring Fathers. Capturing Stories. Touching Hearts. At BapaHebatSG, we believe every father has a story worth telling — stories of love, sacrifice, struggle, and growth. That’s the heart of our **BapakKAW Podcast Series 2025 – Ayahku. We are thrilled to share that we’ve completed the first five (5) episodes of this 10-part series, each one featuring heartfelt reflections by individuals about their fathers. These are not celebrity interviews or picture-perfect narratives —

At BapaHebatSG, we believe in the power of second chances — and few embody that better than our dedicated volunteer, Roje , also known as Ozzy in his workplace. Roje's story is one of deep transformation. For over 30 years, he battled a cycle of incarceration — having been imprisoned 12 times due to drug-related offenses. But behind that past is a man who never stopped hoping to change, especially for the people who matter most: his children. "After being in and out of priso
