Mr. Kwa Chong Guan has been an active contributor to the heritage sector, serving as Chairman of the National Heritage Board’s (NHB) Archaeology Advisory Panel (AAP) since 2019. Mr Kwa’s leadership saw the Panel play a pivotal role in informing and shaping NHB’s longer-term strategies for archaeology initiatives. Beyond his leadership at the AAP, Mr Kwa has also actively promoted greater interest in Singapore’s history and archaeology as an academic. He has also deepened knowledge of Singapore’s archaeology and strengthened the exchange of knowledge within the local archaeological community by actively initiating and facilitating research projects, working with ISEAS to convene seminars and papers and maritime archaeology, as well as serving as our own society’s President since 2022. We congratulate him on winning this well-deserved award!
