The theme this year is ‘wo-men’. United we can achieve so much more. We are so much more powerful as opposed to he or she.
Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Ms Grace Fu attended this wonderful occasion as the Guest of Honour and spoke about the resilience of women who wear multiple hats and lay the very foundation of society and are also leading the charge in environmental and sustainability practices. She spoke about nurturing a culture or care and respect in the workplace and encouraged women entrepreneurs to realise their dreams.
Mrs Ng was welcomed as a leader and trailblazer in business and education and one of Forbes Asia’s Power Women List in 2021.

She also spoke about the important role men play in helping women realise their dreams and that the responsibility of nurturing children and the future of society should be a shared one.
