Excellence in journalism took centre stage at the Singapore Press Club Awards 2026, where City Developments Limited (CDL) and Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) continued their support for trusted reporting and Singapore’s media community.

The event brought together more than 270 journalists, editors, communications professionals, industry leaders and partners. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development, Ms Indranee Rajah, attended as Guest of Honour.

With a record 77 nominations received this year, the awards reflected the growing strength, diversity and impact of Singapore’s media and communications landscape.

As title sponsor of the CDL–Singapore Press Club Sustainability Journalism Award, CDL continued to recognise journalists who bring greater attention to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. Through insightful and credible reporting, these journalists help deepen public understanding of sustainability and encourage informed conversations on issues that shape businesses, communities and the future.

MHR, a long-standing supporter of the Singapore Press Club Awards, once again sponsored the winners’ prizes. Each recipient received a two-night staycation for two, inclusive of breakfast and valued at S$1,000, in recognition of the professionalism, integrity and commitment demonstrated by Singapore’s journalists.

Mr Kwek Eik Sheng, CDL's Group Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of MHR, said: “We are honoured to continue our support of the Press Club Awards and celebrate the professionalism, integrity and excellence of Singapore’s journalism community. Credible reporting plays a vital role in society, and we value the contribution journalists make in shaping informed and engaged communities.”

The evening also celebrated the winners, finalists and new inductees into the Singapore Media Industry Hall of Fame, recognising their contributions to the industry and the wider community.

Through their continued support of the awards, CDL and MHR reaffirmed their commitment to trusted journalism and to initiatives that strengthen Singapore’s media and communications landscape.
