Deeply saddened that Lee Chiong Giam has passed away. He belonged to the first generation of civil servants, and did much for Singapore. As Chief Executive Director of The People's Association, he led many national initiatives that improved lives and brought us closer together – Neighbourhood Committees, PA kindergartens, and CDCs all show his touch. He also nurtured talent in areas like the PA Chinese Orchestra – which has become the wonderful Singapore Chinese Orchestra today.
Apart from PA, Chiong Giam also served at the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs, flying our flag high. After SARS, he oversaw efforts to persuade other countries to resume travel from Singapore – experience we are drawing upon today as we reopen our borders.
Chiong Giam’s colleagues remember him not just for his dedication to Singapore, but also for his modesty and kindness. He was a straight talker, with his sharpest comments tempered by his sense of humour.
Chiong Giam will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with his family during their time of grief. – LHL
