48th BDS '71 Class Reunion in Penang

21 June

A total of 38 alumni from the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) class of 1971, together with their spouses, arrived for their 48th reunion at G Hotel Kelawai, Penang from 21 to 23 June. The atmosphere at the welcome dinner was boisterous as alumni caught up with one another, and some of them had not seen each other since their graduation in 1971.

The next day, there was a Durian Farm visit and fruit tasting, followed by dinner at a Peranakan Restaurant.

DVC Dinner with Alumni cum "Last Lecture"

“To prepare well, but have low expectations” – this was the philosophy of happiness that was shared by Professor Lee Chuen Neng (Medicine '75) with staff, alumni and guests of the Department of Pharmacy at the inaugural lecture of the “Last Lecture” series at a dinner with the Department Visiting Committee, held on 23 May.

Guests were inspired by Prof Lee’s light-hearted sharing where he used his travel stories as an allegory of life. Besides the lecture, guests were also treated to an evening of good food and music; and rich conversations with old and new friends.

CPE Talk on Governance and Business Integrity

NUSBSA (NUS Business School Alumni Association) Accountancy Wing held their 7th Continuing and Professional Education (CPE) Talk on 22 May at Great Eastern Centre.

The topic was on Governance and Business Integrity, and was delivered by Associate Professor Lawrence Loh ('84) from NUS Business School, who is also the Director for the Centre for Governance, Institutions & Organisations(CGIO). Assoc Prof Loh leads the Singaporean Governance and Transparency Index project and the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard project. He also oversees the joint Business Integrity and Sustainability Reporting initiatives with the ASEAN CSR network. He has published in international journals and is a regular commentator for the global and Singapore media on corporate governance and sustainability.

60 attendees attended the Talk, which explored the Venn diagram of ethics, law and morality, along with provocative questions like “If it’s not illegal, is it then legal?” and “Is it ok if we do something good for the company without personal gain?”, just to name a few. Assoc Prof Loh also took the attendees through five different approaches to ethical dilemmas, bringing them to life through an interactive exercise with the audience and it was intriguing to see how each audience group had a new point of view to offer.

NUSBSA Director as well as the Head of the CPE Talk Committee of NUSBSA Accountancy Wing, Mr Edward Ta ('87), and NUSBSA Director Mr Rix Chan ('92) and his associates from Great Eastern gave welcome remarks.
