A Night of Welcome and Honour: Celebrating New NUSS Members and the Conferment of Honorary Membership to Mr Hsieh Fu Hua

On a memorable evening, NUSS welcomed 200 new members into its fold, marking a significant milestone in our community’s continued growth. The event was graced by esteemed guests, including NUS Pro-Chancellors Mr Chan Sek Keong and Mr Poád Mattar, Chairman of the NUS Board of Trustees Mr Hsieh Fu Hua, NUSS Honorary Member Professor Wang Gungwu, and NUSS Past Presidents Mr Lim Soo Hwee, Mr Lai Kim Seng, Mr David Ho, and Mr Eddie Lee.

The evening held dual significance. Firstly, it was a great honour for NUSS to confer the Honorary Membership to Mr Hsieh Fu Hua. Secondly, the event warmly welcomed our new members, who are now part of Singapore’s largest graduate alumni society. The event was a testament to the enduring ties between NUSS and NUS, emphasising our shared mission to foster intellectual growth and community engagement.

Honouring Mr Hsieh Fu Hua’s Exemplary Leadership

The conferment of the Honorary Membership is a prestigious tradition reserved for individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and service to NUSS and the broader community. Past honourees include respected figures such as former President Dr Tony Tan, the late Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Emeritus Senior Minister Mr Goh Chok Tong, and Professor Tan Eng Chye, President of NUS.

This year, NUSS proudly welcomed Mr Hsieh Fu Hua to the esteemed list of Honorary Members. As Chairman of the NUS Board of Trustees, his visionary leadership and dedication have significantly enhanced the university’s impact. Beyond his professional achievements, Mr Hsieh is a passionate advocate for philanthropy, education, and the arts—values that align closely with NUSS’ mission. His presence at the event symbolises the deep connection between NUSS and NUS, fostering a spirit of collaboration for the future.

Welcoming New Members to a Vibrant Community

The evening also served as a welcome to the newest members of the NUSS family. With over 15,000 members, NUSS offers an enriching environment dedicated to lifelong learning and social growth. New members gain access to a host of facilities across three Guild Houses—Kent Ridge, Suntec City, and Mandalay Road—offering opportunities for dining, networking, and a diverse range of events and activities.

For those with a passion for food, our dining options provide an array of culinary experiences, while sports enthusiasts can enjoy activities like golf, tennis, and pickleball. Our vibrant cultural sections and interest groups are the perfect places to forge new connections and friendships.

The evening concluded with heartfelt gratitude to Mr Hsieh Fu Hua for accepting the Honorary Membership. His inclusion strengthens the bonds between NUSS and NUS, reinforcing our collective commitment to the advancement of education and the future of Singapore.

To our new members, welcome once again to NUSS. May this evening mark the beginning of many fulfilling experiences, enriching friendships, and shared successes. We look forward to seeing you at future events, making memories and building legacies together.
