Far East Organization
The family of the late Ng Teng Fong, founder of Far East Organization, became the Gallery’s fifth founding partner with a generous gift of S$20 million.
In addition to supporting the Gallery’s research and exhibitions, the donation is utilised for the annual commission of a site-specific art installation: the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission, located at the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery on Level 5 of the City Hall Wing.

Our family is deeply grateful for the opportunity to be associated with the National Gallery Singapore, an invaluable national heritage and an exciting new icon of Singapore’s evolving arts landscape.This gift is made in grateful thanksgiving to God for His grace upon the life of our father. We thank the National Gallery for naming the Gallery’s roof garden and exhibition series after our late father, as a meaningful way to remember him. It is our hope that the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery and Commission will be an inspiring environment that brings art to all amidst a verdant landscape.
