Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Award

For only the second time in MVPA’s 12-year history, two individuals (instead of one) were presented with the Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Award – the Awards’ highest accolade. This Award recognises outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions over a span of at least 30 years. Dr Anamah Tan and Mr Lim Hock Heng were the recipients of this year’s distinguished Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer Award.


Dr Anamah Tan has had more than 40 years of experience in advancing equality between men and women in Singapore, Asia and internationally. She was a pioneer of the women’s development movement in Asia and a determined advocate for gender issues, particularly domestic violence and poverty eradication. With her expertise in family law, Dr Tan’s efforts in raising the status of women included having successfully lobbied for changes in the socio-political and legal frameworks in Singapore. She was one of the founding members of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO).



Mr Lim Hock Heng has been a volunteer with MSF’s Probation and Community Rehabilitation Service (PCRS) since 1975. Through his 45 years of service, Mr Lim has become an integral part of the Operations Night Watch (ONW) team since it started in 1997. To date, he has clocked over 6,000 checks island-wide to support MSF’s Probation Officers in ensuring that probationers comply with their Court-ordered time restrictions. He also reaches out to befriend, guide and journey with our youths and their families. His efforts in building the capabilities of fellow volunteers, including coaching and guiding new volunteers, exemplifies his commitment to the service. Today, Mr Lim continues to volunteer as the Deputy ONW Manager – a responsibility he has held since 2001.

mvpa-key-visualmvpa-design-issac

This year’s key visual features hearts held by individuals from across all walks of life, symbolising care and support for one another. Designed by Mr Isaac Liang, a local illustrator on board the i’mable Collective, his design features in our event backdrop and tote bags presented to all award recipients. Isaac was born deaf and discovered his love for drawing at the age of four. Isaac has illustrated for the Singapore Art Museum, National Heritage Board, MediaCorp, National Council of Social Service and DBS, to name a few.

mvpa-trophymvpa-chua-boon-kee

This year’s trophy is a replica of the “Circles of Life” sculpture, designed by Singapore’s very own award-winning sculptor, Mr Chua Boon Kee. The interlocking circles symbolise the importance of our community working together to foster a caring and inclusive society.

A special duet was performed by singer-songwriter Ms Adelyn Koh, who is visually impaired, and seasoned performer Mr Yu Xiang Kelvin, who has muscular dystrophy. Adelynproduced her first original album at the age of 10, and Kelvin started writing lyrics and performing song covers on YouTube in 2008. Their rendition of Josh Groban’s ‘Thankful’ during the awards ceremony pays tribute to our many volunteers and partners who served alongside MSF during the COVID-19 pandemic.
