The award was presented to Ley Hoon by Marc Abensour, Ambassador of France to Singapore, in his speech at the ceremony, Marc Abensour said, “Ms Quah Ley Hoon has been instrumental in not only maintaining the activity and services of the Port of Singapore throughout the COVID pandemic, but also in moving Maritime Singapore industry forward. Through her role as Chief Executive at MPA, Ms Quah deployed considerable efforts to make Singapore, through its port, a key facilitator towards decarbonization and digitalization and built partnerships for an inclusive transition to a cleaner maritime industry.”
