Porridge distribution for Ramadhan in Singapore

Porridge (bubur) distribution is a Ramadhan tradition in Singapore and Malaysia, often involving charities, mosques and government representatives. The events, staffed by volunteers, typically occur during weekends, but some places may commit to offering porridge for all on other days. The event tends to end quickly as quantities are limited. Queues begin early, and each person may take away several portions.

The following locations in Singapore have announced on Facebook that they will be distributing porridge from mid-June to the end of Ramadhan. All are welcome on a first come, first served basis while stocks last, unless otherwise stated:
