SMU alumna Nur Shukrina Salam is the sole full-time lawyer at the Migrant Workers’ Law Centre @ MWC (MWLC), Singapore’s only legal clinic that opens five days a week for the migrant worker community. She took a pay cut to provide free legal aid for migrant workers. Shukrina said she felt a calling from a young age to help society’s underserved. While studying law at SMU in 2020, Shukrina and three schoolmates created a free online salary calculator that also guides migrant workers through employment disputes.
