Living in the world we live in today is not easy. We get caught up in all things good, and bad, and that no matter how “good” we think we may be today, there are still some red dots we may not be aware of, that may come come back to haunt us, as remnants of a dark past.
Revamp is a community for those who’ve had enough of fake connections and loneliness. It’s where people come to find real growth, form genuine friendships, and actually feel like they belong. We’re all about uncovering and developing the truest version of yourself.
Our motto: "You are who your friends are." We believe in surrounding yourself with the right crew and making solid, real connections. Revamp is a space where you can dig deep, reconnect with your faith, and get some clarity on your life’s path. We stand by truthfulness, good manners, and servitude, offering camaraderie, free counseling, and essential Islamic education. If you’re ready to change your life, Revamp is here to support you.
Revamp Truthseekers is a no-nonsense, not-for-profit Youth Hub and Enrichment Centre (IECP certified), born in July 2012 to forge real friendships in a world that’s gone sideways.
We get it—today’s world is a mess for young people trying to stay grounded with real values and humanity. The youth are getting caught up in toxic trends and fake cultures, losing touch with their own beliefs and traditions. We saw this mess and knew we had to step in.
Our mission? To wake people up and keep it real through our signature Sharing Sessions. Here, we breathe in love and exhale gratitude, sticking to good manners and authenticity.
Forget the superficial nonsense: looks, price tags, and status games. We’re about digging deep and bringing out what truly matters—truthfulness, gratitude, forgiveness, love, and humility.
This is where we come together to figure out how to move forward as one. We make time for the Creator of Time and face the reality that we’re all forgetful and one day we will even be forgotten. We push aside worries about “the future” and focus on what matters now, because we might not even get to tomorrow.
We’re not here to claim we’re perfect—who is? But we’re not afraid to admit that we’re striving to be better. To do that, we need to surround ourselves with the right people.

Reaching the Untouched: We’re all about connecting with youths who aren’t ready to step into mosques or Islamic centers. These are the ones who haven’t even caught a glimpse of the beauty in Islam or shown any interest in learning the basics. We go to them where they are, inviting them to come to us just as they are!
Being the Friend That Matters: We aim to be that friend who won’t make parents sweat. The kind of friend who is trustworthy, and won’t let their parents down.
Earning Parental Approval: Our goal is to help youths earn their parents’ REDHA (approval)—transforming them into the son or daughter their parents would be proud of.
Preparing for the Future: We’re here to help them become the best versions of themselves—whether as a spouse, parent, or just as a solid individual. We’re all about setting them up for a future where they can really shine.
We Are Forgetful
“We are forgetful and one day we shall be forgotten.
We are forgetful: everyday, we face the mirror but almost never think about the Creator of that face we see in the mirror.
And we shall be forgotten: How many of us remember the names of our great-great-grandparents?”

Our classes are not typical. They are known as sharing sessions. Our guests can expect a brother, not a teacher. We keep things real and we do not put on a show or presentation. Our sessions are strictly super-informal, and a “family affair”, with no commercial interests!
In short, we are out to make friends and brothers/sister out of our guests, not customers and not even students.
REVAMP strives to not be a friend by chance but a friend by choice.
Revamp provides the youths with the help they need to change direction in their lives. Never believing in a “touch & go” and demeaning approach, REVAMP seeks to create bonds that give youths a chance to take a big step back, away from the unhealthy influences that they have been exposed to and to encourage a change of heart, helping them lead a meaningful and purposeful lives.
Positive and genuine friendships, built on love and respect (it’s cliché we know, but hand to heart, that’s what we strive to build)
Good and safe environment with a positive vibe, and a stocked up pantry!
Constant mentorship and guidance through our free sharing sessions or other programs.
REVAMP is the first in Singapore to welcome the youth with the tag “come as you are”. There is no dress code! Our guests do not have to worry about getting judged for their dressing at our place. Ever.
We do not aim to be a “religious institution” and we do not claim to be one. However, we try to be positive role models to our newly acquired friends first and hopefully, attract them into loving the religion through us.
We call our REmind sessions “Gigs”, so yeah.
We serve delicious ‘teh tarik’ and it is served warm during every session!
We take no course fees for those who want to learn, but a small fee that we call as commitment fee and with the intention as a sadaqah for REVAMP.
Revamp established a cafe in a two-storey shop house in Bussorah Street. We adopted a two-fold strategy in reaching out to the youths by establishing a conducive environment infused with positive and “hip” vibes. It used to attract youths to hang out and dine in at the cafe regularly.

As the cafe progressed through a year, the befriending program grew bigger and dozens of youth started participating. We established a social circle held at the 2nd level of the cafe. This was where we conducted our “sharing sessions” through motivational groups, or one-to-one sessions where youths shared about their personal problems and the different coping mechanisms they use on a daily basis.
In 2014, Revamp crafted a weekly signature program called The Mutual Reminding Sessions to cater to the increasing number of youth and adults streaming into our sharing sessions, to share with us the social and personal issues they were facing. Held every Saturday, the program addresses the masses with good teachings of family values and infuses advises to rebuild one’s moral character. It has since been renamed: The REmind Gig!
An opportunity came to us to conduct weddings as the good friends we made often requested us to handle their significant day. Hence, Relite Events Management was established. It instantly became a great “glue” which successfully strengthened the existing bond between brothers from Revamp, as they sweat and harmoniously worked together to genuinely serve at weddings. It has become one of our platforms to impart knowledge of etiquette on how to serve guests. Relite has since become a key component in helping Revamp spread its dakwah work, as well as functioning to be its commercial arm.
RElite has recently come up with a series of new programmes consistent to its mission. Do click here for more information.
In 2016, Revamp achieved yet another milestone whereby we consistently served 400-600 youths per month, through our morals & character-building programs and befriending sessions. We also had 1344 registered members at that point, as the organization grew.
Revamp was officially recognised as an IECP institution under the newly established Islamic Education Centres and Providers certification scheme by MUIS, giving it the endorsement to conduct its activities in Singapore. With this certification, we hope to further build more bridges with all the players and stakeholders who are on the same path as us, as well as give trust and confidence to our audiences.
“The believer is friendly and befriended, for there is no goodness in one who is neither friendly nor befriended.
The best of people are those who are most beneficial to people.”
Seats sell out like hot cakes. Except, the “hot cakes” we have here is always freshly served with delicious, piping hot tea.
