As the lush Mandai Rainforest framed the evening with its tranquil beauty, guests stepped into the Meranti Room for an immersive pre-dinner experience that set the tone for a night of celebration, connection, and legacy-building. The space came alive with curated vendor showcases, each offering unique pathways to wellness and self-care. From the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the art of essential oils, attendees explored holistic practices that bridged East and West—Chinese-inspired blends harmoniously infused with Western botanicals, targeted female wellness products, and therapies designed to restore balance in both body and mind. The gentle hum of conversation and the aroma of aromatic oils filled the room, inviting guests to indulge their senses while expanding their wellness horizons.
The evening’s formalities began with the arrival of distinguished guests, including Founder Serene Ong and Guest of Honour Janet Ang. The programme unfolded with a thought-provoking panel discussion, moderated with warmth and insight by Kay Kutt, CEO of Silk Relo Limited. On stage alongside her were an inspiring line-up of voices: Janet Ang, respected former NMP and independent board director; Georgette Tan Adamopoulos, board member and immediate past president of United Women Singapore; and Ai Hua Ong, Deputy Secretary at MSF Singapore and seasoned board member. Together, they delved into the evening’s central theme—Shaping Our Past, Present and Future Together—offering personal reflections, leadership wisdom, and calls to action for the next generation of changemakers.
Adding personal depth to the night were moments from individual speakers, Roxana Daver and Jessie Chong. Roxana Daver is an inspiring Indian woman entrepreneur whose work in social enterprise empowers rural women artisans. She now runs a consultancy that works with the marginalised in Indian villages. Jessie Chong, whose candid storytelling illuminated her journey of balancing career ambitions with motherhood. Between these powerful narratives, the atmosphere was kept vibrant with Best Dressed recognitions and animated Table Conversations, where guests engaged in guided, heartfelt exchanges. The night culminated in a spirited finale—flashing lights, music, and dancing—where formality gave way to pure joy, leaving every attendee with a sense of shared purpose, renewed energy, and treasured memories from this anniversary celebration.
