Do we work for money or something else? This session discussed the spirituality of work and ethics in the corporate world and the role that money should play in the workplace.

Recipient of the Singapore Health Quality Service “Superhero” Award
Shaun is a doctor currently employed with St Andrew’s Community Hospital, serving as a resident physician, serving largely in the area of palliative care. Recognising this as his calling from God has allowed him to commit himself to his work, as his service and offering to God.
For this, he was recognised earlier this year with the Singapore Health Quality Service “Superhero” Award for his work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shaun was selected from the SACH palliative care team to assist with Changi General Hospital (CGH) EagleCare, a programme that provides end-of-life care for CGH’s partnering nursing homes, for which he helped to set up protocols, provided direct and telehealth cover, and participated in swab operations.
Shaun also supported St Andrew’s Nursing Homes (SANHs) with clinical reviews of their residents, and started a system to ensure that end-of-life needs of residents were looked at during the pandemic.
On many occasions, Shaun went beyond the call of duty and visited nursing homes after office hours to provide medication to help residents manage their medical conditions. Shaun’s initiative and responsibility left a lasting impact on EagleCare and our nursing homes.
Director of Digital & Corporate Transformation at Ministry of Defence
Henry first encountered the Lord as a young 12-year-old when he attended a church camp upon the invitation of his schoolteacher. However, it was not until his undergraduate days that he was baptized into the Christian faith and subsequently received into the Catholic Church.
Since then, his story with the Lord has led him to help at the Alpha Program, serve as a catechist and participated in the Parish Pastoral Council. At work, he was an air force engineer for 20 years and has worked alongside men and women to maintain aircraft systems for the Republic of Singapore Air Force. He is currently the Director of Digital and Corporate Transformation at MINDEF, concurrently serving as the Chief Information Officer.
Henry’s faith journey has its fair share of ups and downs, knocks and falls. While he struggles with brokenness as part of his humanity, he has also encountered the joy of being received by the Lord just as he is. Henry is passionate about personal development and has taken interest in personality assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Instrument (MBTI) and Motivational Code (MCODE). He has found silent retreats and spiritual direction helpful in leading him to deeper encounters with the Lord and is currently making his way through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises in daily life. As an introvert, he prefers spending time on restful activities but is also game for meaningful conversations, especially with a nice cup of coffee.
