Heartfelt Speeches and Remembrance
The evening featured moving speeches from both Mr Seah Kian Peng and our President, Ms Lee Li Hua. Their words resonated deeply with our guests, emphasising the importance of community service and women’s empowerment. A particularly poignant moment was when we observed a minute of silence to honour the memory of Susy Chia, our beloved SWA President from 1991-2002, whose recent passing left an indelible mark on our hearts. Her legacy of compassionate leadership continues to inspire our work today.
