International Excellence winners take a bow
Print Edition
In December, Shanghai Daily joined forces with International Channel Shanghai, inviting readers to nominate and vote for the expatriates who they consider to be among the most influential people in the city’s international community.
Twenty-seven expats were nominated for the Shanghai International Excellence Awards including business leaders, community event organizers, charity activists and opinion leaders. Their personal profiles were uploaded onto the Shanghai Daily website for a public vote. The monthlong vote ended on January 16.
More than 2.5 million votes have been cast online and 10 winners have been selected.
Wong Fatt-heng, an executive of Roche Diagnostics, topped the list with 861,360 votes. He was followed by Peggy Liu, chairperson of JUCCCE, with 578,411 votes, and Mario Alberich Diaz, a Spring Airlines pilot, with 294,655 votes.
Other winners include Silvia Kettelhut, a German Consulate officer; Bobby Male, a skateboard coach; Jason Inch, founder of LOHAUS; Glen Walter, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Bottling Investment Group China; Tatiana Skuratova, a Russian student at Tongji University; and Michelle Teopo-Shen, president of the Filipino Community Association in Shanghai.
The winners will receive the 2014 Shanghai International Excellence Award in a ceremony held at the Gubei Civic Center on January 31.
Also in December, Shanghai Daily and ICS launched an annual poll asking expats to pick the city’s top 10 news stories for 2014 from a list of 20.
The top 10 Shanghai news stories included the change in one-child policy, Shanghai Husi’s expired meat scandal, and the introduction of the “toughest” law on air pollution.
