“SEBA is about entrepreneurs and recognising their success. Our awardees look forward to attending the physical award gala   dinner   every year.  This is our motivation for organizing a grand and memorable event year after year.

However, at this junction, we believe everyone’s wellbeing should be the top priority, hence the rescheduling is necessary. We shall meet and celebrate when this pandemic subsides,” said Lyndia Wong,  Chairperson  the  SME  and  Entrepreneur  Business  Awards  (SEBA 2020).
