To commemorate its 25th Anniversary, Soo Kee Group opened its new SOOKEE HQ building, located at Changi Business Park on 26 July 2016. Officiated by Dr. Koh Poh Koon, Minister of State, Ministry of National Development & Ministry of Trade and Industry, the event was also graced by other ministers including Mr Sam Tan Chin Siong (Minister of State, Prime Minister’s Office & Ministry of Manpower), Mr Gan Thiam Poh (Member of Parliament), Dr Lim Wee Kiak (Member of Parliament) and Mr Lee Yi Shyan (Member of Parliament).
One of the key highlights of the Grand Opening event was the unveiling of the Soo Kee ‘Gold Wall’. Measuring a total of 12.6m in length and 1.6m in height, the Soo Kee ‘Gold Wall’ is made with 9,999 pieces of Soo Kee Group 25th Anniversary 999 pure gold bars. The ‘Gold Wall’ is a beautiful masterpiece created meticulously by using the latest technology. The laser-crafted rainbow gold produces a gorgeous burst of colour when light reflects off its surface, breathing life into the gold as a mark of authenticity, a parallel reflection of the trustworthiness and credibility of Soo Kee Group.

After a ceremonial tree planting session, there was also an exhibition of Soo Kee Group’s milestones through the years, and individual showcases from Soo Kee Jewellery, SK Jewellery, Love & Co., MoneyMax and SK Bullion. Guests were treated to a stunning display of jewellery, demonstrations of diamond technologies, corporate offerings, as well as the wide range of products at MoneyMax and investment pieces from the unveiling of Soo Kee Group’s new business, SK Bullion.
SK Bullion provides buying, selling and insured storage services for investment grade gold, silver and a wide array of other precious metals handpicked from reputable mints and refineries, which are also accessible at the consumer’s convenience through its one-stop e-bullion platform (www.skbullion.com). The first SK Bullion store will be opened in August 2016 at Clifford Centre, strategically located in the heart of Raffles Place, the financial district of Singapore.
Headquartered in Singapore, one of the world’s safest jurisdictions and strategically located at the heart of international trade flow, SK Bullion is well poised to tap into the opportunities in the global bullion industry. The Group believes that the strong government support reflected in policies such as the absence of goods and services tax on investments in precious metals and strong business infrastructure makes Singapore an attractive precious metals trade hub.
After a tour of the exhibition, guests were then invited to lunch, where Group Chairman Mr Peter Lim and Dr Koh Poh Koon presented their speeches. The founders of the Group and Dr Koh Poh Koon then performed a toast to celebrate the joyous event before the morning drew to a close.
