A woman behind iconic buildings like Resorts World Sentosa. A woman who is the Ambassador-at-Large with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A woman who became our first female President. Angelene Chan (CEO of DP Architects), Ambassador Chan Heng Chee and President Halimah Yacob hold very different job titles, but they are all former recipients of the Her World Woman of the Year award.
