More about the trophy

RED and black make up the two colours of the trophy's base, signifying the burning of charcoal into a raging fire which transmits boundless energy to the two iron spirals rising from the base. This symbolises the persevering spirit, courage and commitment of the Chinese business pioneers in laying a firm foundation for our nation's development.

The red iron spiral represents Singapore while the gold spiral represents the Chinese business pioneers. The two intersecting spirals represent the symbiotic relationship between our nation and the Chinese business pioneers, symbolising the extreme hard work and selfless endeavours of the Chinese business pioneers in contributing towards our nation's future.
