ISE Alumni Mr Lee Guan Wei leads team to optimize border entry procedures during the pandemic and receives MHA scholarship for further study

During the COVID pandemic, Mr Lee Guan Wei (NUS ISE BEng Alumni, Class of 2012) and his team created a comprehensive one-stop service website for the Ministry of Home Affairs. This innovative platform reduced entry processes from a 10-day time span to mere minutes. This helped the Safe Travel Office to effectively manage a colossal 1.5 million enquiries and process 600,000 entry applications.

In recognition of his exceptional achievements, Guan Wei received a prestigious scholarship from the Ministry of Home Affairs to embark on a Master’s program at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Guan Wei is currently a Deputy Director with the Safe Travel Office in ICA.
