PATRON OF HERITAGE AWARDS 2008
The Patron of Heritage Awards celebrates a record year in heritage philanthropy. Now in its third year, the prestigious national accolade by the National Heritage Board (NHB) recognises S$110 million of donations and loans contributed to heritage causes islandwide in 2008 – the highest sum received within a year. Established in 2006, the Patron of Heritage Awards is an annual event that aims to boost heritage philanthropy in Singapore by honouring individuals and organisations who have made significant contributions towards enriching our national heritage.
Rear Admiral (NS) Lui Tuck Yew, Acting Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts, graced the awards ceremony as Guest of Honour on 17 April 2009 at the National Museum of Singapore.
