The late President Ong Teng Cheong graduated in 1967 with a MCD (Master of Civic Design). In 1998 he was awarded the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George by the Queen, only the second Singaporean to receive such an honour, the first being former Prime Minister Lee Kwan Yew in 1972. Another big name who graduated from the University is Tung Chee Hwa, who gained a B Eng (Hons) in Marine Engineering, graduating in 1960.
