The Singapore High Commission was honoured to host President Tharman Shanmugaratnam this afternoon. We were joined by colleagues from the Singapore Government agencies represented in the UK. With support from the Singapore Global Network, a group of Singaporean students and professionals, including the management team from Singapore Airlines in London, also joined the session and shared with the President their experiences of living, studying and working in the UK.
It was also a special occasion for our Locally Recruited Staff — including three colleagues (Linda, BiBi and Nimal) whose combined service at the High Commission spans an extraordinary 128 years — who had the opportunity to meet and engage with President Tharman.
And, of course, we rounded off the afternoon with a spread of Singapore favourites, including curry puffs, pandan cake, kueh bingka and kopi-o!
