He was among five recipients this year who received their awards from President Tony Tan Keng Yam at the Istana on Wednesday evening.

The other four recipients are Mr Moses Soh and Mr Jarret Huang from Raffles Institution; Miss Alicia Tee from of Hwa Chong Institution, and Mr Shaun Lim from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).
