We are pleased to share a special video message from Mr. Martin Ong, President of the Icons of Change Singapore, for the Icons of Change International Awarding Ceremony.
In his message, Mr. Ong expresses heartfelt gratitude to the changemakers, innovators, and leaders who continue to shape a better world through courage, compassion, and conviction. He reminds us that transformation does not begin in the grand stages of the world, but in the quiet resolve of an individual who believes that things can, and must, be better.
Mr. Ong also introduces the Fellowship of International Changemakers, a global initiative designed to promote collaboration, mentorship, and shared purpose among leaders from diverse sectors and nations. This fellowship serves as a platform to exchange insights, inspire collective action, and strengthen the global community’s commitment to meaningful, sustainable change.
In his closing words, he challenges each of us to go beyond success and strive for significance—to influence with integrity, lead with humility, and serve with compassion. As he aptly shares, “Transformation is not just about impact—it is about influence through integrity.”
Through this message, we are reminded that leadership is both a responsibility and a calling—to be light where there is darkness, to build bridges where there are divides, and to champion hope where it is most needed.
Let this moment inspire us all to continue working together toward a world where humanity moves forward in harmony.
✨ Watch the full message and be inspired to keep making a difference.
