Ong Yiting

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) held an intimate private luncheon at the John Jacob Ballroom of The St Regis Singapore in May to express its appreciation for a standout donation—the largest yet from a single individual donor. Cham Tao Soon, Chairman of the SSO Council, thanked Ong Tiak Beng, Director of Innovalues, for his donation of 500,000 Innovalues shares to the SSO.

Fittingly, performing at the luncheon was flutist Ong Yiting, the prodigious 12-year-old daughter of Ong, who has performed before Nobel laureates and the Sultan of Perak. In appreciation for his donation, which was matched dollar-for-dollar by the National Arts Council bringing it to a value of some $1 million, Ong was presented with a plaque of appreciation.
