The well-anticipated annual Dinner and Dance 2019 was held at the Sheraton Hotel on the 29 November 2019. Themed the Good Old Days, colleagues from Moore Stephens LLP’s Singapore, Cebu office and that of those from Complete Corporate Services donned funky costumes and outfits from the 1950’s and 1960’s era, some of which resembled styles from Ip Man, Grease and even Jimi Hendrix. Others were clad in Peranakan, Chinese, Malay, Indian outfits, just to name a few which brought traditional and fond memories of the good old days.

Pursuant to the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainability Development with 17 Sustainability Development Goals by the United Nations (“UN”) in 2015, the International Maritime Organisation (“IMO”), as part of the UN, has since established several important targets related to these SDGs. These targets, amongst many others, include the 0.5% global sulphur cap coming into force from 1 January 2020 and the reduction of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions by at least half before 2050 compared to 2008, reduction of average carbon emissions of 40% by 2030 and then 70% by 2050 from 2008.
