The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) has successfully concluded its Charity Golf 2025 event at Sentosa Golf Club, raising a total of $230,000. The funds will bolster the IES Scholarship Fund and support the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS). The event, attended by Speaker of Parliament Seah Kian Peng, highlighted IES’s commitment to inclusive engineering education and social causes.
Proceeds from the event will enhance the IES Scholarship Fund, which aims to award its first six bond-free scholarships this year. A total of $180,000 will be distributed among students from the Institute of Technical Education, polytechnics, and universities. Launched in July 2024, the fund seeks to support at least 35 students over six years, empowering them to contribute to Singapore’s engineering sector.
IES has a longstanding commitment to advancing engineering education, having established the YC Wong–IES Research in Construction Project Management Fund and partnered with Yayasan Mendaki to support Malay-Muslim students. The organisation’s efforts underscore its dedication to nurturing homegrown talent and promoting equal opportunities.
In addition to educational initiatives, IES has allocated $50,000 to CPAS to assist individuals with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities. This donation reflects IES’s broader mission to support various social causes, including the Moral Home for the Aged Sick and the Children’s Charities Association of Singapore.
Simon Lee, IES Charity Golf 2025 Organising Chair, expressed gratitude to sponsors, donors, and participants, stating, “Every swing today wasn’t just for sport, it was a step toward a more inclusive and forward-looking Singapore.” The event exemplifies IES’s belief in investing in people to build a resilient nation.
