The funds raised enables the nonprofit organisation to continue its work in helping youths realise their fullest potential
A total of 140 golfers joined Halogen Singapore at Sentosa Golf Club’s Serapong course on October 30 to tee up for a generation at its Charity Golf 2024. Guest of honour and Singapore’s speaker of parliament Seah Kian Peng was joined by Victor Lee, chief executive officer of presenting sponsor CIMB Singapore, along with Halogen Singapore board member Jessie Ho-Thong.
The sun was up and it was a beautiful day to play golf. After fuelling up on lunch, everyone gathered on the lawn for a group photo. The air was thick with excitement as the golfers got onto their buggies in anticipation of a day on the green. As per tradition, the Halogen team led by chief executive officer Ivy Tse lined the path leading to the course to cheer on the golfers, which was led by the VVIP flight comprising Seah and Lee, as well as golfers Raymond Yeoh and Cedric Foo.
The level of excitement went up on the course as the golfers had the opportunity to play against professional golfers Wong Qiwen, Koh Sock Hwee, Amanda Tan and Gregory Foo in terms of the longest drive and the nearest to pin.

In the evening at dinner, Ho-Thong thanked everyone present “for the generosity and friendship extended to us today”.
In his speech, Seah highlighted the importance of nurturing and empowering the next generation of leaders, and the impact of Halogen’s work. “In an era of rapid change, the need to equip our youth with the right skills and values is more pressing than ever,” he said. “As a small country in a highly competitive world, we must ensure that our young people are ready, not just to meet today’s challenges, but also to lead tomorrow’s solutions. Their hopes and dreams, their talents and aspirations form the backdrop of our future. The strength of our nation depends on the strength of our young people.”
Echoing the same sentiment, Lee shared that CIMB Singapore is dedicated to “investing in the future”. A big advocate for the cause of empowering youth, it hopes to involve its staff here to look into youth mentoring opportunities next year.

Over the past 20 years, Halogen has played a pivotal role in this mission. More than just a platform for youth development and leadership, it also helps ignite their entrepreneurship spirit, creativity, resilience and critical thinking, giving them tools they need to thrive in a competitive landscape.
Earlier in the day, some of the youth participants of Halogen’s National Young Leaders Fellowship, including Ella Tan and Earth First’s founder Ameya Meattle, were on hand to share about their work. Young entrepreneurs Xu Muhan and Shin Suyeon, the 17-year-old co-founders of To Our Youth, also manned their photo booth service.
The evening wrapped up with the announcement of the top golfers for the day, along with the player with the longest drive. The event, which was organised in-house by the exuberant Halogen team, raised more than SG$300,000 in support of the nonprofit organisation’s work to help youths realise their fullest potential and create positive change in their communities.
