Dear Members and Friends Even the best-laid plans sometimes meet with the unexpected. The Prime Minister's schedule has changed and he is now no longer able to be our Guest of Honour for the Chamber's 180th Anniversary Gala Dinner on 24 March 2017. I am very pleased to announce that Mr Teo Chee Hean, Deputy Prime Minister & Coordinating Minister for National Security will grace our Gala Dinner as Guest of Honour and present the 2017 SICC Awards. Your support for this special occasion has been nothing short of tremendous. I want to thank all of you who have very generously signed up as sponsors, booked tables and individual seats. You’re in very good company. The gala dinner will be attended by a large turn-out of fellow business leaders, diplomats, government officials and heads of business and trade associations.

Not only will we be celebrating 180 years of collective service by the Chamber and its members to the business community and to Singapore, we will also be celebrating the cause of collaborative innovation as we applaud all the nominees and announce the winners of the 2017 SICC Awards. Have a great week ahead. With warmest regards Victor Mills Chief Executive
