The emcee Singapore officially commenced the formal proceedings by introducing the Guest of Honour, Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry. The programme featured heartfelt addresses, beginning with a welcome speech by Dr Lai's family, delivered by Madam Stephanie Lai, followed by a speech from Dr. Seng Yu Jin, Director of the National Gallery Singapore. The emcee Singapore then facilitated the keynote address by Ms Low Yen Ling, who spoke about Dr. Lai's profound contributions to Singapore's art and cultural landscape.

Following the speeches, the emcee of Singapore Ivan invited the Guest of Honour to officially announce the opening of the exhibition, a moment marked by a ceremonial presentation of a souvenir to Ms Low Yen Ling by the family of Dr Lai.

The emcee Singapore highlighted his esteemed accolades, including France's Knight of Arts and Letters honour and the top Gold Medal at the Salon Des Artistes Français, and noted his legacy as the preferred portrait artist for Singapore's most prominent figures, from founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to President Halimah Yacob.
