Our President, Mr Jimmy Lim Hock Seng, has always been stressing, “We cannot afford to maintain our current status in a fast changing economy that is driving our members abroad.

“At home, SPGG must reinvent to stay relevant. We cannot continue to remain as an exclusive social club. We need to transform SPGG into an Entrepreneur Hub to keep pace with the changing economy. “To continue with our vision of serving SP graduates, we see a need to establish the SPGG Overseas Chapter to reach out to our members who are now based abroad. The purpose of the SPGG Overseas Chapter is to continue with our Vision and Mission here in Singapore”. In line with this Vision, the objectives of the Shanghai Chapter are to build professional and social networks for SPGG members who are relocated to Shanghai, including those who are in Shanghai for business, training or studies.

Apart from serving as a Resource Centre for local information, business practices etc for SPGG members, SP graduates and SP students, it also paves the path to strengthen the ties of SP graduates.

An Honorary Representative has since been appointed for the Shanghai Chapter for a term of 2 years by the SPGG Executive Committee.
