"Some of it is due to immigration, but a significant number is also due to the way in which the community has improved," The Straits Times quoted the minister as saying on Saturday at an appreciation ceremony for donors, partners and volunteers of self-help group Singapore Indian Development Association, or Sinda, activities of which include lending education support to the community.
