Dr. Tun’s current work at NParks covers issues related to the management and conservation of Singapore’s coastal and marine environment and the biodiversity they support. Whilst YTL Hotels was recognized for their commitment to integrate responsible environmental strategies into their core business decisions which protect and improve the natural environment for future generations to come. In addition, 6 Discovery Yachts were highlighted and awarded for their contribution and participation in last year’s programming.

The event was attended by special guest speakers Dr. Toh Tai Chong, lecturer at National University of Singapore and the co-founder of Our Singapore Reefs; and eco-entrepreneur Melissa Lam, founder of Bamboo Straws Worldwide. The idyllic marina setting was the perfect backdrop to discuss how environmental and marine conservation has grown in the last few years.
