SUKA was formed by a pioneer group of eight Singaporeans in 1988 with an initial of 60-70 members who had been living in UK for several years and were missing their beloved country of origin and the contact with fellow Singaporeans. The patron of SUKA is Her Excellency, The High Commissioner for the Republic of Singapore. Since then, SUKA’s membership rose rapidly in numbers throughout the years and now its membership has expanded to more then 300 in the past years. The majority of the members are still Singaporeans or past Singaporeans who continued to maintain interest in the Singaporean culture. Memberships are also extended to non-Singaporeans from the ASEAN and Europe region. All united in SUKA by their common interest in Singapore.
