She was Singapore’s Woman of the Year in 1999, and a former nominated member of parliament. Married to Ho Kwon Ping, president of the Wah Chang/Thai Wah group of companies, she is executive director of Banyan Tree Gallery. Her business acumen led her to break the long-standing tradition of an all-male Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, when she became one of the first two women to be admitted to the organisation in 1995. Notwithstanding her achievements, Chiang remains down-to-earth. She actively advocates for women’s rights, family life and the disadvantaged in society. | [Claire Chiang] -- Early life -- Career -- Contributions to society -- Timeline -- Family -- References. | Businesswomen--Singapore--Biography|Women politicians--Singapore--Biography|Chiang, Claire See Ngoh | Personalities {18336114} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

He resigned from the SDP in 1996 after party in-fighting, and joined the Singapore People’s Party (SPP), founded by a moderate faction of the SDP in 1994.

He is one of the earliest proponents of Pablo Picasso in this region. He is also well known for his poetry which is very much associated with the environment. A unique artist who is conscious of his surroundings, he never allows the sights of his life to pass by unnoticed. Abdul Ghani's works are able to portray the universe and his thoughts. Whether directly or indirectly, his paintings are a sound manifestation of the poems assigned to them. | Abdul Ghani the artist -- Abdul Ghani the poet -- The artist and his world -- Furthur reading. | A.
