As part of the activities to commemorate our Bicentennial, the Singapore Bicentennial $20 commemorative note was launched today by President Halimah Yacob.
The front of the note features our first President Yusof bin Ishak, against our former City Hall and Supreme Court (now the National Gallery Singapore). The back shows the old Singapore River blending into our present-day CBD, with Parliament House in the foreground, along with 8 pioneers who made significant contributions to Singapore:
- Scholar and writer Munshi Abdullah, who was also Raffles' secretary, interpreter and Malay tutor;
- British botanist Henry Nicholas Ridley, the first director of the Botanic Gardens;
- Philanthropist Tan Kah Kee;
- Philanthropist P. Govindasamy Pillai;
- Social worker Teresa Hsu;
- Badminton and tennis champion Alice Pennefather;
- Lieutenant Adnan Saidi, who led the defence of Bukit Chandu during the 1942 Japanese invasion; and
- Pioneering educator Ruth Wong, the first director of the Institute of Education, now NIE.
The note will be available at major banks from 10 June onwards, while the numismatic note set can be pre-ordered from the Singapore Mint.
I hope the note will remind us of all those who worked to bring our nation here, and what they achieved to give Singapore a bright future together. – LHL
