"There are lots of beautiful things in the sky which you cannot see with the naked eye. I want to share my knowledge with the students" said Sin Hoe

"We are honoured to receive this award. However, organising the activities requires a lot of coordination and effort. We could not have done it without the help of our fellow colleagues at SEG. We are honoured to receive this award" Sin Hoe added
