    FIVE outstanding business leaders were honoured at the 37th Singapore Business Awards for having made a difference in their respective industries and created value for their stakeholders.

    Among them, the top accolade went to UOB deputy chairman and chief executive Wee Ee Cheong, who was named Businessman of the Year.

    The other winners were:

    • Outstanding Chief Executive Officer of the Year: CapitaLand Investment group CEO Lee Chee Koon;
    • Outstanding Overseas Executive Award: AIA Group CEO and president Lee Yuan Siong;
    • Young Business Leader of the Year: Secretlab co-founder and CEO Ian Ang;
    • The Enterprise Award: TDCX Inc.

    Winners of the annual awards – jointly organised by The Business Times (BT) and DHL Express Singapore – were decided by a panel following a round of nominations.

    Chaired by Stephen Lee, former chairman of Singapore Airlines, the panel consists of 12 judges from the political, business and academic fields.

    The awards ceremony, attended by close to 500 guests, was held on Sep 8 at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore, with Sustainability and the Environment Minister Grace Fu as guest of honour, after 2 years of it taking place in a hybrid format.

    “By recognising organisations and leaders that have made a difference, especially during such unprecedented times of the pandemic, we hope to reinforce Singapore’s position as one of the top business destinations in the post-Covid world,” said Christopher Ong, senior vice-president and managing director at DHL Express.

    Said BT editor Wong Wei Kong: “The Singapore Business Awards recognises business excellence, and we are truly heartened to see this shining through in these challenging times.”
