Dear Friends and Partners of Honour (Singapore),
Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you and your family in good health as we welcome 2025. May the year ahead bring you peace, joy and a deep sense of purpose in all your endeavours.
On behalf of the Honour (Singapore) Board of Directors, Panel of Community Advisors and Management, we are grateful for your steadfast support, encouragement and partnership. Your generosity and belief in our mission have been a cornerstone of our journey to foster a culture of Honour and honourable behaviour for the well-being of Singapore. With the new year come renewed possibilities and opportunities, and I’m excited to share with you our key updates in this quarterly newsletter.

HONOUR LEADERS FORUMS |
|
|
|
The Leaders Forum is a cornerstone initiative we proudly host, bringing together leaders from organisations of all sizes to engage in thoughtful discussions about the vital role Honour plays in ensuring the long-term success of Singapore. These forums also provide an opportunity to explore how Honour (Singapore) can collaborate or partner with you to make a lasting impact.
|
|
In 2025, our Leaders Forums will be held on 24th April, 17th July, and 30th October. If you are a leader or C-level executive and would like to participate at these inspiring forums, we warmly invite you to express your interest by reaching out to us at admin@honour.sg. |

HONOUR CHAMPIONS COMMUNITY |
|
|
|
At Honour (Singapore), we deeply believe that the well-being of families, societies, businesses, and governments hinges on fostering greater trust and genuine care among people. For this to become a reality, the virtue of Honour must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, a habit as natural as breathing. But this transformation requires champions - people who are passionate about the value of Honour and are committed to championing its ideals in their personal and professional circles.
We call these individuals “Honour Champions”. Whether among friends, colleagues, or the wider community, they embody and advocate Honour with conviction and purpose. To support them, we’ve established Honour Champions Groups—communities of like-minded individuals who come together informally from time to time to share their thoughts, experiences, and strategies for promoting Honour at home, in their neighbourhoods, communities and at the workplace. These groups provide a platform for connection, encouragement, and growth, helping members live out and inspire others with the principles of Honour. We’re heartened by the progress to date with Honour Champions Groups already formed for HR Professionals, Agility Practitioners, Young Professionals, Freelance Trainers and Sustainability Advocates. We are eager to form new groups tailored to the unique interests of Honour Champions like you.

If you would like to explore being part of this movement, whether by joining or leading a group, we warmly invite you to reach out to us. To learn more about the Honour Champions Community, please visit us at https://honour.sg/community/. |

“WHAT NEXT?” WORKSHOPS |
|
|
|
We continue to run half day workshops on the theme of "What Next?", where participants come together to discuss and build consensus on what will make Singapore sustainably successful in the decades ahead. Our aspiration is to ensure that every generation of Singaporeans continues to find our nation as the one place in the world where they can live harmoniously, thrive and be the best they can be, according to their talents and abilities.
These workshops are designed to encourage long-term thinking, helping participants look beyond the daily challenges of personal life or managing their enterprises. They inspire the confidence and resilience needed to face the Unknown Unknowns and to Expect the Unexpected, for whatever lies ahead. Some of the solutions and systems needed for the future may take twenty or even thirty years to bear fruit. Without adopting a longer-term perspective, we risk losing the chance to create the foundations necessary for our children and grandchildren to thrive in their time.
To date, we’ve conducted "What Next?" workshops with postgraduate business students, university undergraduates, young professionals, educators, and community leaders. In 2025, we aim to extend this opportunity to parents, religious groups, business leaders and other communities invested in Singapore’s long-term growth and well-being. These workshops also offer participants the tools to position themselves and their organisations for a future filled with promise.
