This year, we have decided to expand our theme to include the wider topic of Master planning. This current season will see us embark on a series to showcase works on Master Planners of our nation. These pioneer Master planners will be sharing with the fraternity their works, vision and experiences. Our guest speaker this year is Mr Tay Kheng Soon, a pioneer Architect and Master Planner.
