The Kwek Leng Beng Tower at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is now opened. The university’s administrative building is named after Hong Leong Group Executive Chairman Mr Kwek Leng Beng in recognition of his joint S$25 million endowed gift with CDL towards school’s Hospitality Business Programme (BHB) in November last year. It is also the tallest building on SIT’s campus in Punggol, Singapore.

To mark its opening, SIT recently invited Mr Kwek, his wife Mrs Cecilia Kwek and CDL senior management Chief Executive Officer Mr Sherman Kwek and Chief Operating Officer Mr Kwek Eik Sheng for a visit which included a tour of the new building, and presentations by SIT professors and students.

Associate Professor George Liu said the programme is a direct honours degree programme with an annual intake of 150 students, and the first and only hospitality business degree programme offered by an autonomous university in Singapore. He also shared updates of ongoing collaborations between SIT and Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) that include training and internship placements for five of its students in May 2024.

BHB student Gerald Oh shared about his journey in the programme and how he has benefited from Mr Kwek and CDL’s donations. Click here to read more about Gerald’s journey.
