Five arts practitioners were awarded grants from the longstanding Krishen Jit Fund (KJF) this year to support them in pursuing their projects.

True to the fund's history of supporting diversity, the recipients hail from various backgrounds, including choreographer-researcher Andrew Igai Jamu; Goh Hooi Ling, founder and director of Teochew Puppet and Opera House; Lau Beh Chin of JinnD Productions, an interdisciplinary dance platform; sound designer Duncan Soo; and film student Naomi Kakuvi Musau.
