Celebrating excellence at URA: 16 of our colleagues and three Board members have been honoured at this year’s National Day Awards, a testament to their outstanding service to Singapore. 🎉 Leading the accolades is our Chairman, Mr Peter Ho, who was awarded the Order of Nila Utama (with High Distinction). This recognition underscores his more than 50 years of distinguished service and his exceptional guidance in our work in long-term land use and infrastructure planning. Ms Karen Lee, Director of Physical Planning, was awarded the Public Administration Medal (Bronze) for her instrumental role in shaping Singapore’s urban landscape. Her visionary leadership has transformed key regions like Kallang Whampoa and Toa Payoh, while her work on the Draft Master Plan 2025 public engagement initiatives also exemplifies our commitment to co-creating Singapore’s future with our community. We’re immensely proud of all our award recipients and their contributions to our nation’s urban development. Here’s to continuing our journey in building a vibrant, sustainable Singapore! #URASpirit #NationalDayAwards #UrbanPlanning
