thought leadership

Dear members and friends of SCL (Singapore),
It is a privilege to introduce myself as the new Chair of SCL (Singapore)'s Publications Committee with utmost gratitude to Chris Rudland as the outgoing Chair for his tireless contributions during his tenor.
For many years, SCL (Singapore) has served as a trusted forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences and developments across the construction industry. Our newsletter plays an important role in that mission, bringing together perspectives from legal practitioners, industry professionals, consultants, academics and others who contribute to the built environment sector.
The aims of the Publications Committee remain the same - building on the excellent work of our predecessors by continuing to provide content that is timely, practical and relevant to our members. In an industry that is constantly evolving, the sharing of knowledge and diverse viewpoints has never been more important......
Best regards,
Wynne Tay
Publications Committee Chair, SCL (Singapore)

Dear members and friends of SCL(S),
It is my pleasure to welcome you to a very special edition of the SCL (Singapore) newsletter. While the AGM held on 26 August was an event to welcome in our new Council, it was also one to say goodbye to the outgoing Council members who have worked so hard over the past two years (and in many cases, beyond).
A big thanks goes to Trevor Lam from us all for his tireless efforts and inspirational leadership as SCL(S) Chair 2024-2026. As a Council member, I found his relentless enthusiasm a real source of energy at Council meetings, particularly at times when the meetings and commitments coincided with pressures of the day job.
As one chapter ends, another begins. For the 2026-2028 term, we are incredibly blessed to have Joanna Seetoh stepping into the Chair. Echoing Trevor’s words at the annual dinner, we are all in very good hands under Joanna’s leadership......
