MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND THE ARTS PRESS RELEASE
MITA HONOURS NATIONAL DAY AWARD RECIPIENTS
The Ministry of Information and the Arts (MITA) will be honouring its National Day Award winners at its Investiture Ceremony and Annual Dinner and Dance on Saturday, 29 November. MITA staff will receive their awards from the Guest-of-Honour, Minister for Information and the Arts, BG George Yeo.
The function, held at the Royal Crowne Plaza Singapore, will be attended by more than 200 guests. They include award recipients and their family members, invited guests and staff from MITA.
Three types of awards will be presented at the Investiture Ceremony:
The Commendation Medal gives the Ministry an opportunity to recognise staff for exceptional performance, competence and devotion to duty. This year's Commendation Medal winner is Mrs Soundarya Sukumar of the Singapore Broadcasting Authority.
Similarly, the six recipients of the Efficiency Medal have also, through their superior performance, done the Ministry proud.
The Ministry also takes pleasure in recognising the 32 recipients of the Long Service Medal for their commitment, having devoted 25 or more years of their working life, to public service.
The Ministry congratulates all the recipients and thanks them for their dedicated and unstinting service. The Commendation, Efficiency and Long Service Awards are tokens of the nation's appreciation for their untiring efforts. Their steadfast service in the Ministry will continue to inspire their younger colleagues. The Ministry also wishes to thank the families of the recipients for their support throughout the recipients' public service.
The complete list of Award recipients is attached at Annex 1.
