This year’s Her World Woman of The Year 2011/12 fete was celebrated with a big bang at the Regent Hotel.
After a long judging process, Professor Ivy Ng was named Her World Woman of The Year 2011/12 while Ms Janice Wong was named Her World Young Woman Achiever 2011/12.
Professor Ng, 53, is currently serving as the group CEO of Singapore Health Services, which oversees two hospitals, nine polyclinics and five specialist centres. She was instrumental in transforming a hospital specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology to one that encompasses a holistic range of health services for women.
Wong, a 29-year-old culinary wunderkind, is also notably Singapore’s most prominent female chef, and has just launched her first cookbook, Perfection in Imperfection, debuted her first edible art installations and opened 2am:lab, a non-profit and independent culinary think-tank and test kitchen in Fusionopolis.
