NUS Economics Alumni Sharing and Networking Event

On Saturday, 3 July 2021, NUS Economics Alumni organised the Alumni Sharing and Networking Event via Zoom, which saw a turnout of more than 30 Economics alumni and students.

In the Alumni Sharing segment, Mr Daniel Lo (Arts and Social Sciences ’81), Managing Director at CA Indosuez, shared his views on “Investment Opportunities in Challenging Times”. He spoke on the various types of financial and non-financial instruments that investors could consider investing, and highlighted some stocks that had potential to do well in the long term. Finally, he concluded by emphasising that patience is integral to successful investing, advising the attendees to invest with what you know and what you have.  

After the Alumni Sharing segment, like-minded Economics Alumni and students networked in breakout rooms to further enhance their ongoing professional development. The event was well received, as one attendee asked when the next webinar would be held, and another commented that he found it informative.

Raffles Hall Association Homecoming 2021

In conjunction with Bukit Timah Homecoming 2021, Raffles Hall Association (RHA) held its Balik Kampung (‘going home’ in Malay), on Saturday, 3 July. Attendees included past and current residents of Raffles Hall between the years 1966 and 2021 – which is an amazing span of 55 years!

The event was led by Programme Director, Dixon Tioh (Computing '14), who was also the emcee. The afternoon began with a speech by Raffles Hall Master, A/Prof Stella Tan (Science ’98), who warmly welcomed many senior alumnus in attendance from Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and United Kingdom. Past President, Sonny Yuen (Business ’85) expressed his appreciation to the group for their strong support over the years in the formation of RHA, before handing the time over to current Chairman, Lim Swee Kim (Computing ’88), who thanked attendees for continuing to demonstrate the spirit of the legendary RH Phoenix with renewed vigour.  

She also introduced the new Executive Committee, which comprises:

  • Desmond Ee (Engineering ’74)
  • Lui Seng Fatt (Architecture ’78)
  • Ng Kian Seng (Science ’86)
  • Ms Rosita Ng (Law ’93)
  • Dixon Tioh (Computing ’14)
  • Leonard Tan (Engineering ’18)
  • Pang Wei Han (Science ’18)

Leonard updated plans for NUS Day of Service, which he has been planning with Kian Seng. Additionally, Dixon presented an online quiz he created, bringing everyone back to the good old days while giving their memory-banks a little workout! Attendees were then enchanted by stories from alumni such as Dr Jon Lim, past RH Senior Common Room Committee member; and Dato' Y. Sivaloganathan (Law ’71), who enriched everyone’s knowledge of RH history.

The final segment – an RHA Amazing Alumnus Production 2021 – featured a 16 minutes musical. Produced by alumni from the 1980s, the talented cast includes Al Dizon (Arts ’83), Steph Chee (Science ’85), Tan Beng Chiak (Science ’86), Carol Lim (Design and Environment ’87), Ngo Hwee Boon (Computing ’88), Ong Wai Kin (Engineering ’89) and Swee Kim. This musical celebrates RHA’s strengths, determination, care and concern for one another in the face of life’s adversities. The production also celebrates the past and present, recalling great moments in one’s lives, such as the upcoming Singapore National Day in August despite Covid-19. The music video is now available for viewing here.  

To close the session, Dixon invited all attendees to put on their RH regalia (mostly caps and T-shirts) as everyone sang the beloved RH anthem with gusto. The committee thanks Rafflessians for joining in the annual Balik Kampung, and hopes that everyone continues to stay safe.
