Emcee in Singapore - On 12th June 2026, Energy Market Company (EMC) marked a significant milestone—its 25th anniversary—with a spectacular celebration held at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore. The event, themed "EMC EP²IC 25: Resilient • Resolve • Reward," brought together staff, leadership, and stakeholders to honour two and a half decades of successfully operating Singapore’s wholesale electricity market. Throughout the afternoon, Emcee in Singapore Ivan kept the energy high and the programme flowing seamlessly, guiding attendees through team-bonding activities, a prestigious awards ceremony, and heartfelt celebratory moments that perfectly captured the spirit of this silver jubilee.

For those unfamiliar with Energy Market Company, the organisation plays a vital role in Singapore’s energy landscape. EMC operates the National Electricity Market of Singapore (NEMS), the wholesale market where electricity is bought and sold between generators, retailers, and other market participants. Essentially, EMC ensures that Singapore has a reliable, competitive, and transparent electricity market that benefits both businesses and consumers. Over the past 25 years, the company has evolved alongside the nation’s energy needs, driving efficiency, innovation, and market stability. Throughout the celebration, Emcee in Singapore Ivan highlighted this important mission, reminding guests that the anniversary was not only a company milestone but also a celebration of EMC’s lasting contribution to Singapore’s energy security and economic growth.

The celebration at The Ritz-Carlton was designed to reflect EMC’s core EP²IC values—Excellence, People, Positive Attitude, Integrity, and Customer Service. Emcee in Singapore Ivan officially opened the formal programme by welcoming EMC’s leadership team, including CEO Mr. Toh Seong Wah, SVP of Market Administration Mr. Poa Tiong Siaw, and SVP of Technology Mr. Lau Chee Kiong. The theme of resilience paid tribute to EMC’s 25-year journey in market operations, while resolve underscored the commitment of its people to overcome future challenges, and reward celebrated the excellence achieved along the way. Through his engaging delivery, Emcee in Singapore Ivan skillfully connected these themes throughout the event, helping attendees appreciate the significance of EMC’s achievements and future aspirations.

One of the most anticipated segments of the afternoon was the EMC-elebrates Awards presentation, where exceptional individuals were recognised for going above and beyond in collaboration, innovation, resilience, and impact. Emcee in Singapore Ivan worked closely with CEO Mr. Toh Seong Wah to facilitate an interactive guessing game, during which the CEO read descriptions of each winner’s contributions before revealing their identities. The Synergy Award celebrated outstanding teamwork, with winners Li Fu, Tan Jia Hua, and Vincent Wise receiving well-deserved recognition for their collaborative spirit. The Transformation Award honoured Jasmine Seah, Johanna Toh, and Mary Fu for driving positive change through innovation, including the digitalisation of manual workflows and enhancements to trading tools. Emcee in Singapore Ivan maintained a warm and respectful atmosphere throughout the presentation, ensuring that even absent winners received their well-earned recognition and applause.

The OneEMC Award followed, celebrating resilience and a growth mindset in the face of challenges. Emcee in Singapore Ivan invited Edwina Chan, Gan Yee Sing, and Nicholas Low to the stage, recognising their determination during major transformation projects and their willingness to mentor colleagues along the way. The evening’s highest honour, the EMC Impact Award, was then presented to Fun Gwo Haur. Recognised as a pillar of stability and leadership during the demanding SEW+ transformation project, Fun exemplified the “sure can do” spirit that defines EMC’s culture of excellence. CEO Mr. Toh Seong Wah personally presented each award, while Emcee in Singapore Ivan ensured every recipient was celebrated and the audience remained engaged throughout the ceremony.

Following the awards presentation, Emcee in Singapore Ivan transitioned the programme into the ceremonial celebrations, inviting the management team to join CEO Mr. Toh Seong Wah on stage for the cake-cutting ceremony. This symbolic moment commemorated 25 years of EMC’s market-leading legacy. Guiding the management team through the photo opportunity and champagne toast, Emcee in Singapore Ivan built anticipation as glasses were distributed throughout the ballroom. He then led the room in a celebratory toast: “Let’s toast to our resilient past, our powerful resolve, and a reward-filled future. Cheers to 25 years of EMC!” The moment culminated with balloons bursting on stage, creating a festive flourish that perfectly complemented the occasion.

After the toast, Emcee in Singapore Ivan gathered staff and management for a grand commemorative group photo, ensuring everyone came together around the leadership team for the official 25th anniversary photograph. The celebrations continued with team prize presentations, where CEO Mr. Toh Seong Wah recognised the EAT teams—Timber Titans, Metal Slugs, Bay Breeze Battalion, Fire Files, and Earthlings—for their participation and achievements during the afternoon’s team-bonding activities. Emcee in Singapore Ivan then brought excitement to the grand lucky draw, keeping anticipation high as winners walked away with attractive prizes. From the opening welcome to the final prize presentation, his professionalism and energy demonstrated the value of an experienced master of ceremonies at a milestone corporate event.

As the afternoon drew to a close, Emcee in Singapore Ivan delivered heartfelt closing remarks, expressing gratitude to everyone who had contributed to EMC’s remarkable 25-year journey. He reminded attendees to collect their event photographs from the photo table outside the ballroom and pick up their personalised door gifts at the foyer before departing.
