About the Speaker
Mr Bennett Sng is a Singaporean in his late 50s currently working as a trainer in the government sector. His interest in collecting and researching medals started in the late 1990s when he realised that there were only a handful of Singaporeans who shared the same interest. He has since co-organised a few medal exhibitions to share his collections with fellow Singaporeans. His most recent exhibition, “Fragments of Voices”, was held from 2017 to 2020.
