The Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH) congratulates our distinguished alumnus and philanthropist, Professor Saw Swee Hock, on receiving the Public Service Medal, which was presented by the President of Singapore, at the National Day Awards 2013. As a Trustee of the NUS Board and Professorial Fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS), Prof Saw has been recognised for his commendable public services rendered in Singapore and for his achievements, especially in the field of higher education.
In addition to his laudable achievements in public service towards our nation, the medal also exemplifies Prof Saw’s immense contributions to NUS and in particular, his landmark gift of 30 million to realise the establishment of our School and pave the way for us in becoming Asia’s leader in public health education, training and research.
We at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health extend our heartiest congratulations to Prof Saw on receiving yet another distinguished accomplishment and recognition of his contributions toward Singapore.
