search and fundraising at AVA
Dr
Ngiam presented a $5,000 cheque
to Ms Tong.
The Agri-Food
and Veterinary Authority (AVA) organised a talent
search to showcase the special talents of AVA staff
apart from their ability to deliver quality work.
Attractive cash prizes were awarded to AVA’s
stars who could sing, dance, act and/or play an
instrument.
The talent search attracted 13 entries from 7 teams
and 6 individuals. From the semi-finals held on
31 March 2003, 6 finalists emerged to compete with
one another in the grand finals on 20 June.
F3 emerged
champion as well as the Most Popular
Talent of the Year.

The
finals was definitely a show worth catching! In
fact, the three top winners are slated to perform
at the upcoming AVA Annual Dinner and Dance to
be held on 29 November 2003.
However, the most heartwarming moment during the
AVA Star Search 2003 finals was when CEO Dr Ngiam
Tong Tau presented a cheque of $5,000 to Ms Tong
Yoke Tho, Deputy Director, Group Corporate Communications,
National Healthcare Group, Ministry of Health,
for the Courage Fund.
AVA raised a total of $5,000 for the Courage Fund
through various staff activities such as the Inter-division
Bowling Tournament, sale of fruit hampers and voting
for the favorite AVA Star Search 2003 finalist.
