Speaking on transformation, Dish says there is still so much work to be done adding that COVID-19 slowed down the process .

Inclusivity is not about celebrating the community for a few days in a year. Government and corporates need to support the community, get involved in programmes and initiatives 365 days of the year, not just in June or October when the exercise of ticking boxes needs to happen, he said.
