2020 is the beginning of a new decade. Being the Year of the Golden Rat, it also starts a new cycle in the sexagesimal calendar. The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) and Business China wish everyone a prosperous Golden Rat Year and success in all your endeavours! Based on the 60th SCCCI council’s key thrust, “Keeping Pace with the Times, Adapting with Resolve”, the SCCCI has been actively promoting Chinese Entrepreneurial Culture. Chinese Entrepreneurial Culture emphasises the importance of having integrity, contributing back to society and staying loyal to the nation as well as adopting innovation to promote business culture and improve business performance. This Lunar New Year Gathering is SCCCI’s first major event of 2020. This year is also the third year that SCCCI co-organised the Lunar New Year Gathering with Business China. In a departure from previous years, we have planned the Lunar New Year celebration by infusing activities with the essence of the Singapore Culture and Chinese Entrepreneurial Spirit. Since independence, the Singapore Government has strived to build an inclusive society. After half a century’s effort, we have gradually developed a unique “Singapore Culture”. “Singapore Culture” embodies a special force, which constantly reminds us that we share a common history and urges us to work hard and continue to progress! The vital cornerstone that ensures the sustainable development of Singapore Culture and our continued prosperity is racial harmony and cultural integration. In the future, based on the principle of seeking harmony without uniformity, we will continue to actively promote Chinese Entrepreneurial Spirit and Singapore Culture. As we welcome the Year of the Golden Rat, we hope that everyone will contribute back to society by building an even more inclusive society and a better future for Singapore.
