Tanoto Scholars in Singapore came together for an evening of networking and sharing at the Tanoto Scholars Annual Networking 2021 (TSAN2021) on December 16, 2021. Held with safe distancing measures, this marked the first in-person TSAN since 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The event was organised by the Tanoto Foundation<\/a>, an independent philanthropy founded by RGE Chairman Sukanto Tanoto<\/a> and his wife Tinah Bingei Tanoto<\/a>. Steered by its core belief that ‘quality education accelerates equal opportunity’, the Tanoto Foundation seeks to improve lives through three focus areas: Improving learning environments, developing future leaders, and supporting medical research.<\/p>\n

TSAN2021 was graced by non-profit Business China<\/a> CEO and Member of Parliament for MacPherson SMC Tin Pei Ling and National Youth Council (NYC) CEO David Chua, as well as representatives from NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, and Singapore Management University<\/p>\n

The event was themed ‘The Road To Resilience’ and featured a sharing and Q&A with Ms Tin, who through the sharing of her experiences as a young leader, inspired Tanoto Scholars in attendance to be resilient and to never give up.<\/p>\n
