(Singapore, 13.10.2025) Fortune Times, in collaboration with the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO), has published “The Power of Women in Singapore,” marking the first time that media, culture, and philanthropy have been combined to pay tribute to the spirit of women in this era. Ruifeng Wealth Management, as the “Honorary Donation Partner,” has generously supported the philanthropic publication of this book.
On October 22, Fortune Times will grandly host the launch of “She Power Singapore,” a book that pays tribute to the outstanding contributions of 198 exceptional women to the nation’s development. The content of this book is sourced from the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame (SWHF) by the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO).
Fortune Times editorial team spent three years translating over 200,000 words of text into Chinese and obtained publication rights from SCWO. These women, spanning from the 18th to the 21st century, represent diverse fields such as politics, law, business, education, healthcare, literature, and the arts, transcending race and industry, and symbolizing the profound impact and enduring legacy of women in Singapore’s nation-building and development.
As a key event to celebrate Singapore’s 60th year of independence, Fortune Times, in collaboration with SCWO, will jointly release this Chinese commemorative book honoring the remarkable women in Singapore’s history. The event will take place on October 22, 2025, at the Hilton Orchard Hotel in Singapore, and will feature the 21st Fortune Times Awards Gala Dinner, collectively celebrating the power and far-reaching influence of women.
Highlights of the event include the official unveiling of “She Power Singapore,” a charity auction, the “21st Fortune Times Award” ceremony, and a gala dinner. Mr. Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Law & Ministry of Social and Family Development, will attend as the guest of honor.
Corporate Support in Advancing Women’s Philanthropic Initiatives
The publication of “She Power Singapore” has received steadfast support from partners and donors. As the “Honorary Donation Partner,” Ruifeng Wealth Management contributed SGD 100,000 to support women’s causes and cultural heritage through concrete actions. Established in 2019, Ruifeng Wealth Management is a licensed joint family office by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Walter Ng, Director of Ruifeng Wealth Management, stated, “We hope this support demonstrates our commitment to social responsibility and inspires both current and future generations to uphold their beliefs while taking on responsibilities, closely linking personal dreams with the nation’s vision.”
Annie Song, Editor-in-Chief of Fortune Times, remarked, “This is not just a book, but a cultural gift to the nation. Thanks to the support of partners like Ruifeng Wealth Management, we are able to continue sharing the stories of Singapore’s female pioneers while raising funds for SCWO to support its long-term work empowering women across all levels of society.”
Fortune Times has also pledged to donate 15% of the book’s sales proceeds to SCWO, supporting its social services and philanthropic programs. The Business Times is a Singapore-based Chinese-language financial media group that has been in operation for 21 years.
Dr. Seow Yian San, President of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO), added, “The women featured in the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame are national pioneers and role models whose stories deserve to be remembered across generations. This book not only perpetuates their legacy but also raises funds for SCWO’s critical work—whether it’s helping women in distress or empowering the present and inspiring the future. We deeply appreciate Fortune Times and Ruifeng Wealth Management for making this possible. This collaboration between SCWO and The Business Times is particularly meaningful—it represents a fusion of media, culture, and social strength, collectively paying tribute to the legacy of women.”
