Our emcees had given a very strong, effective and high energy opening to kick start the event. Followed by a keynote was delivered by Dr. Lam and highlighted Sengkang West has the most awardee compare with other area and various efforts to grow our talents. 

Our emcees then warmed up the crowd and invited all awardee to give a big hug and thank you to their parents.  They continued to engage the awardee and interviewed them.

‘Without support from my parent, I won’t be able to achieve so much.  I want to tell them how much I love them’, said one of the awardee. 

Besides the award presentation and photo session, our emcee also collaborated with Sengkang West RCs and Anchorvale Youth Executive Community (YEC) members and share a lot of events which are happening now.  Awardee and family also actively visit YEC booth to find out more details.

It was wonderful 4 days for our emcees to step up and host the event for 9 hours continuously every day.  It always seems impossible until it is done.  Yes, they did it and entire ceremony was conducted successfully. We would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to Alice Ow, Pang In Tiam and Norman Tan....and to Anchorvale TM club!
