PEB Day of Dedication 2025
29 November 2025
Relive the highlights of PEB's Day of Dedication 2025, where 88 new Professional Engineers and award recipients were honoured for their contributions to Singapore's engineering profession.
PEB Day of Dedication 2025
The Professional Engineers Board (PEB)'s Day of Dedication 2025, themed "A Future Ready Profession," took place on 21 November at One Farrer Hotel. Over 340 attendees, including 88 newly minted Professional Engineers (PEs), 11 Specialist PEs, and 6 ASEAN Chartered PEs, gathered to celebrate the achievements and commitments of the engineering community in advancing Singapore's built environment. The atmosphere reflected a strong sense of pride and commitment to the engineering profession.
Opening Address by Guest-of-Honour
Ms Indranee Rajah Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for National Development Minister, Prime Minister's Office
Minister Ms Indranee Rajah highlighted that Singapore's future is inextricably linked with the future of engineering, which hinges on our engineering capabilities. To achieve these ambitious goals, we will need not just PEs but PEs who can accomplish the extraordinary. She emphasised that enhanced internship programmes with longer periods, dedicated mentorship, and higher salaries strengthen talent development. She noted that expanded qualification pathways and strategic leadership courses will enhance the profession, while streamlined regulatory processes enable engineers to focus on essential skills development for national progress.
Minister Ms Indranee Rajah concluded with advice that Professional Engineers are distinguished by their ability to say "no" to clients when requests compromise safety, integrity, or ethics. Unlike other service providers, professionals can refuse inappropriate requests based on their expertise and values. This defines professionalism and commands respect.

Welcome Address by Er. Lim Peng Hong President, Professional Engineers Board Singapore
Er. Lim Peng Hong, President of PEB, highlighted two key principles guiding the engineering profession: Professionalism and Respect (PR), where engineers must articulate ideas professionally based on engineering knowledge to earn respect from developers, architects, contractors, and authorities; and Innovation and Talents (IT), emphasising the need to retain talented engineers by encouraging innovation rather than rigid rule adherence. Engineers create what has never been, requiring industry support for creative solutions.

Honouring our Innovative Professional Engineer
The ceremony honoured Er. Yiong Hoi Liong as this year's Innovative Professional Engineer Award recipient, exemplifying engineering excellence and creative problem-solving. His groundbreaking innovation for CapitaSky marked a milestone in sustainable construction as Singapore's first commercial redevelopment project to achieve 100% reuse of existing bored piles. This engineering feat saved 8,400 tonnes of concrete, resulting in a 37% reduction in carbon emissions and demonstrating exceptional environmental stewardship.
Honouring our ASEAN Engineer Excellence Award 2025 Recipient
The ceremony also honoured Er. Emily Tan as the recipient of the inaugural ASEAN Engineer Excellence Award. A trailblazer in Traffic and Transport Engineering, she has served and contributed to both PEB and the Board of Architects, as well as local and regional engineering bodies. As the founding President of the Association of Women in Construction Singapore, she and her team have supported and inspired many young female engineers in the built environment sector.
