SMU won the Automation – Education category at the 2026 Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards held in Marina Bay Sands
- On 29 April 2026, Singapore Management University won the Automation – Education category at the Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026 for its in-house SMU Lost and Found App, developed through a close partnership between the Office of Safety and Security (OSS) and Integrated Information Technology Services (IITS). The digital platform replaces a time-consuming, paper-based process with computer vision and automated matching, allowing finders to log items via photos and users to submit lost reports online through QR codes. Since its launch in May 2025, documentation time has dropped from up to 10 minutes to under 60 seconds per item, staff effort has been reduced by about 75%, and time-to-return has shortened from days to hours. With improved accuracy, data integrity, and user convenience, the system has successfully facilitated an average of eight item returns per month, demonstrating how automation can significantly enhance campus services and operational efficiency. Featured in the photos are the project team from OSS and IITS. (From L to R) Mr Goh Wee Sen, Mr Teenesh s/o Thanabalan, Mr Lim Boon Wee, Mr Lau Kai Cheong, Mr Le Chin Ek, Mr John Marapao, Ms Tang Ai Chee, Mr Ang Ker Chung and Mr Simon Hyett.

The Ice Cream Uncle : a zine on display in the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery during the 2025 Arts Fest
- This is a pdf capture of the zine created by Amber Choh for the 2025 Arts Fest 25x25 exhibition which contains a poetry inspired by Soe Niang's arkwork "Dance" (2011). "I was inspired by Soe Naing’s dancing colours, which came alive with vibrant pinks, yellows, and expressive brushstrokes. I was drawn to how colour has the power to carry emotion and memory. His work reminded me of the pastel swirls of ice cream on rainbow bread from my childhood. In response, I wrote a poem based on a small but meaningful ritual: queuing outside the school gates every day, rain or shine, to buy ice cream from the uncle. It was a simple act that became a lasting memory—sweet, fleeting, and quietly profound. This work reflects my longing for that time and the comfort of routine. Like Soe Naing’s colours, the memory moves, softens, melts, but ultimately remains vivid. I know that the ice cream uncle is no longer there, and I am no longer the child I was. But in reimagining those colours through recollection, I return briefly to that sunny corner of my past. This poem carries a quiet hope: that even as we grow and change, some memories stay warm and bright enough to revisit." - Amber Choh, Year 3, Lee Kong Chian School of Business
The Turmoil : a zine on display in the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery during the 2025 Arts Fest
- This is a pdf capture of the zine created by Cecilia Lee Jia Yi for the 2025 Arts Fest 25x25 exhibition which contains a poetry inspired by Dang Xuan Hoa's untitled self-portrait (2007). "I’ve always struggled with anxious attachment, where love feels like both sanctuary and threat. the turmoil traces that emotional cycle: fixation, emotional hypervigilance, and the spirals that follow when affection feels uncertain or unreciprocated. When I first encountered Dang Xuan Hoa’s self-portrait, I was struck by the silent unrest. The jagged lines and bruised palette mirrored the feeling of being trapped in one’s own mind, the internal noise of someone trying to hold themselves together. It raised the questions that shaped this piece: What does inner conflict look like? Does healing ever arrive, or does the turmoil simply take on new shapes? I used breath-like spacing, short lines, and recurring stanzas to evoke emotional claustrophobia, mirroring the looping nature of anxiety and grief. Additionally, the refrain, “before the healing always comes the turmoil”, begins with certainty but unravels into doubt: “but what if the turmoil never ends?” This captures the contradiction of healing, the constant sway between hope and despair, and mirrors how anxious thoughts loop, escalate, and contradict themselves, distorting clarity. Perhaps time doesn’t heal. It just teaches you to live with the bruise, without flinching, without letting it hollow you out." - Cecilia Lee Jia Yi, Year 3, Lee Kong Chian School of Business
