An iconic project

FOUNDED in 1906, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry has seen Singapore from its pre-independent days till its development into the nation it is today. During the process of nation-building, many Chinese business pioneers have contributed unreservedly in building up the economy and helping in social development.

The Chamber announced the launch of a flagship project organised in conjunction with SG50 - the nationwide initiative to celebrate Singapore's 50th birthday. This project is the SG50 Chinese Business Pioneers Awards.

The initiative acknowledges and gives due recognition to the remarkable spirit and endeavour of Chinese business pioneers and the role played by SCCCI in Singapore's formative years leading up to the present day. Through this initiative, the Chamber hopes to enable the younger generation to understand the manifold challenges of nation-building and be inspired by the excellent examples of the Pioneer Generation to contribute likewise to society.
