Singapore: 190 financial practitioners recognised at Asia Pacific Financial Services Awards

Some 190 financial practitioners were recognised at the Asia Pacific Financial Services Awards held on 22 October 2021, as the organisation celebrates its 30th anniversary.

The annual APFinSA Awards recognises top financial services professionals not only in their respective countries but also across the Asia Pacific region.

All recipients of the APFinSA awards are licensed financial practitioners who belong to member organisations in APFinSA – the largest financial services council in Asia Pacific, represented by the respective national associations.

The annual APFinSA Awards was launched last year with two main categories of awards and three tiers under each category. The higher the award, the more lives the award recipients have secured and protected in the course of their work.

Kudos to financial practitioners and awardees

Guest of Honour Chee Hong Tat, Senior Minister of State for Transport, said, “In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Singaporeans have adapted well to changes and equipped ourselves with skills for the new jobs created, including in our fast-growing financial sector.”

“While technology can improve work processes, all of us know that in this industry, nothing can replace the human touch. High tech still needs high touch.”

APFinSA Chairman Matthew Kang said to the awardees: “You have helped many with their financial planning, given them the assurance and peace of mind that all shall be well for their loved ones, and that the future remains hopeful should something unfortunate happen to them.”

Mr Carlos Lee, President of the Insurance and Financial Practitioners Association of Singapore (IFPAS) and Co-Chair of the 18th Asia Pacific Life Insurance Congress (APLIC) 2022, said: “Clinching an APFinSA award is a true testament of the awardees’ dedication and unparalleled contribution to the community and the lives of many.”
