SINGAPORE, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NoonTalk Media Limited ("NoonTalk Media"), a Singapore-based media entertainment company specialising in artiste and talent management, multimedia, film and drama production, as well as event conceptualisation and management, is pleased to announce the inaugural launch of an international Chinese film award – Golden Singa Awards.
Organised by NoonTalk Media, the Golden Singa Awards will be, subject to the execution of definitive agreements, backed by Mr Ng Tse Meng, Honorary Chairman of RuiFeng Wealth Management Pte Ltd. This strategic collaboration has been instrumental in advancing the development of the awards event, which will take place on December 1, 2025 in conjunction with the Singapore Media Festival – an annual event hosted by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) between late November and early December. Mr Dasmond Koh, Chief Executive Officer of NoonTalk Media cum Chairman of the Golden Singa Awards Committee says, "As a Singapore-owned media company, the launch of the Golden Singa Awards marks a significant milestone in our strategic growth — representing our first foray into staging an international event. The timing is especially meaningful, as the inaugural edition coincides with SG60, a national milestone that reflects Singapore's journey and growing stature as a global city." "The Awards will serve as a high-profile platform to showcase cinematic excellence, honour outstanding talent and foster cross-border creative exchange. As a Singapore-based initiative, it also reflects our company's broader strategy to elevate brand visibility and expand our presence in the Chinese media and entertainment landscape. "Beyond the accolades and red carpets, the Golden Singa Awards will reinforce Singapore's reputation as a trusted host for world-class events. It will amplify our nation's international profile, enhancing its appeal as a premier destination for tourism, lifestyle, media and the arts," adds Dasmond. Mr Vincent Zhou, Vice Chairman of the Golden Singa Awards Committee adds, "Chinese-language cinema, with its rich cultural depth and rising global influence, deserves a dedicated platform to inspire cross-market collaboration. As an international hub with strong Chinese cultural roots, Singapore is ideally positioned to be a strategic center for the Chinese film industry — a vision shared by V Picture and NoonTalk Media. The Golden Singa Awards aims to spotlight filmmakers across Asia, elevate Chinese cinema globally and strengthen Singapore's role as a regional media and creative hub." Establishing itself among Asia's most prestigious film honours — including Mainland China's Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster Awards, Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong's Hong Kong Film Awards — the Golden Singa Awards is set to emerge as the region's foremost cultural and entertainment platform within the next five years.
