Resilient, visionary, charitable
These are some characteristics of Chinese business pioneers in Singapore that made them so outstanding.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP is not just about "starting a business". The SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneer Awardees are selected by virtue of their pioneering spirit and for their outstanding and sustained contributions to Singapore's economic, national and social development.
As our country celebrates its 50th year, it is timely that we pay tribute to the many local entrepreneurs who are role models for our society. Legends in their own sectors, these pioneer business leaders have diligently built their businesses (mostly from scratch), which have grown alongside the nation. Unfazed by uncertainties in the early years of Singapore's independence, they had, through sheer determination and an unyielding commitment to their vision, created the industries we know today.
