About the

Lecture Series

Ho Rih Hwa Leadership in Asia

Public Lecture Series

The Ho Rih Hwa Leadership in Asia Public Lecture Series seeks to inspire students and the public with
the views and valuable opinions of accomplished entrepreneurs, business and political leaders from
within and beyond the Asia-Pacific region. The series was established at the Singapore Management
University by philanthropist Mrs Ho Lien Fung, in memory of her late husband, former Singapore
Ambassador and successful businessman Mr Ho Rih Hwa.

Focusing on leadership and business issues pertinent to our global landscape today, the lecture
series serve as an enriching platform for the sharing of relevant knowledge and experience. The
lectures are delivered by individuals who have demonstrated impeccable leadership with significant
contributions to the society in their respective fields. It is a tremendous opportunity for audiences to
draw on the foresight, knowledge and experiences of these distinguished speakers.

The logo of the Series, depicting a mortarboard and lectern, symbolises both the success of a
vision and the goal of SMU. The mortarboard epitomises academic excellence and success, while
the lectern, supported on a ‘pillar of learning’, represents the Lecture Series and is also a visual
metaphor for leadership. The logo manifests the spirit of learning through which business, politics
and entrepreneurship metamorphosise to meet the challenges of the new century.
