Singaporean Sikhs numbered 12,051 at the country's 2020 census, forming the country's sixth largest religious group at 0.35% of the population,[1] but Sikhs form a religious minority in Singapore. Sikhism in Singapore has its roots in the military and policing forces of the British Empire. Currently, there are 12,000–15,000 Sikhs in Singapore.[2] There are 7 gurdwaras along with a missionary society, a welfare society, two youth organizations and two sports clubs.[3] Most Sikhs are from the Jat community.
