WILL YOUR ESTATE BE SUBJECT TO
UK INHERITANCE TAX?
We spend years planning our finances for the run up to retirement, but sooner or later the emphasis
must shift to planning for life in retirement. This is not just about generating a sustainable level
of income after inflation, but about protecting our estates from the effects of Inheritance Tax.
Inheritance Tax is the most punitive tax in the UK and normally applies to your world-wide estate,
even whilst you live in Singapore.Yet, at the same time, it is often described as a voluntary tax.
We don’t disagree. Join Martin Rimmer, Head of Tax for Select Investors, a Division of
St. James’s Place (Singapore) Private Limited, to find out why, as he unpacks and simplifies
this subject, and gives you his recommendations for your own succession planning.

SCC’s Sports Persons
of the Year 2019
This issue, we speak to our top athletes and find out a little more about them beyond their sporting achievements.
SPORTS MAN OF THE YEAR: MATTHEW NGUI (BOWLS)
• Singapore National Men’s Fours: Champion.
• Singapore National Squad Men’s Singles League: Runner-up.
• Singapore National Men’s Pairs : Semi-Finalist.
• Asian Lawn Bowls Championship Men’s Fours, representing Singapore: Silver
Why do you think Bowls is becoming more popular in Singapore?
Lawn Bowls is a sport that can be played by most people, across gender, age and abilities. You might get a little less flexible later in life
but you still can have the opportinity to participate in the sport at high levels, as long as you train and work at it. As such, in Singapore
and elsewhere, people are beginning to appreciate this sport as something anyone can take up and get reasonably good at it.
How has Bowls impacted your life?
From a humble roll up, bowls has become a major part of my life. From getting me up and out of the house to train or play in competitions,
it has also got me a new “family” in the bowling fraternity, with whom I spend a lot of time.
Are there any similarities between Sports and the Arts?
I think Sport and Art are the 2 most “human” of activities, as they feed into the human spirit and are basically “non-commercial” enterprises.
Unless you’re a professional, for most of us, they both give us insights into ourselves and makes us, somehow, more “attuned” to our
environment. It is, I think, not a mere coincidence that in Lawn Bowls, nomenclature such as “draw to the jack” or “follow the line” refer to
drawing and visualising techniques in Art.
I would like to thank Chai Hon Yoong, Yong Lew Foong, TQ Lim and Mary Lim for introducing me to SCC. Love my new family in the SCC
Bowls Section, including the “young ones”. And I of course would need to thank my parents, Jimmy and Moira Ngui and my brother, Nick,
for putting up with me as an artist and now "sportsman”! I think they
worry where my next meal will come from.
Finally but certainly not least, I need to thank Bowls Singapore
and the National Squad who have supported me while playing for
Singapore.
SPORTS WOMAN OF THE YEAR:
SHERMEEN LIM (BOWLS)
• SCC Ladies’ Singles: Champion.
• Singapore National Squad Ladies’ Singles League: Champion.
• Singapore National Ladies’ Pairs: Runner-up
• Singapore National Ladies’ Singles: Joint 3rd.
• Asian Lawn Bowls Championship Ladies’ Singles, representing
Singapore: Champion - Gold Medal.
How does Bowls challenge you?
Bowls is a sport that is simple yet intriguing, easy to pick up and
yet a challenge to master. It is the ambiguity and freedom of expression that draws me in and kept me hypnotised for the better part of
10 years.
At a beginner’s level, it could just be seen as a jack and a bowl, getting as close as possible as so defined in the objective of the game.
And yet, since our bowl has natural bias (curves), there is a huge element of intuition and luck, or is it precision? Many sports are about
precision, down the line, on the narrow fairway, sinking a three point shot, and in my first decade, I have spent the bulk of it pursuing
this perfection. It starts off tangible, and you would chase after it, eager and excited; and when you come close to holding it, it slips right
through your fingers.
Indeed, many sandcastles have been built, of dreams and champions; and at one of the peaks, I have learnt that to be able is a gift. To
be able to give (more), to be able to reach out (further), to be able to move forward (always). It is the gift of your imagination, and goes
as far as you dare. So dream, give, and bask in the joy and wonder of the gift that you are.
How would you encourage more people to try Bowls?
Bowls is the most versatile and dynamic sport that tests both the mental and physical. It teaches the young about being a sport, how to
win and ultimately about life and beyond. I believe that anyone who tries the sport at a social competitive level would learn something
about themselves. And I would encourage everyone to give it a shot.
Barefoot bowls and day carnivals would be the way to go, with cool prizes.
I would like to give a huge shout out to SCC for all your faith and support all these years. Heartfelt appreciation and sincere thanks to the
Bowls Section Members who have always been so endearing and loving, and for all our celebrations together.

SPORTS GIRL OF THE YEAR: JOY LIM (SQUASH)
• National Junior Squash Championship 2018 - Girls U15 1st
• SGSquash Junior Circuit 2018 1st leg – Girls U19 4th
• SGSquash Junior Circuit 2018 2nd leg – Girls U19 3rd

• Technoform Lion City Junior Squash Open 2018 – Silver Event (Individual Girls
U15) – 4th
How did you feel when you won the National Junior Squash Champi-
onship 2018 - Girls U15?
I was of course very happy to win the title last year. I trained many days a week and
it was great to see my hard work pay off.
During the final match, I told myself to stay focused, not to rush to win the points and
minimize the mistakes made in the court.
Who is your sporting idol?
I started playing squash with the mindset of just getting myself out of the house to exercise, to play with children my age. When I was
getting better at the sport, I wanted to play to my potential.
When asked about my sporting idol, I will say he is our Singapore’s first Olympic Gold Medallist, Joseph Schooling. Although we play a
different sport, he has shown his fellow Singaporean athletes that it is possible to put ourselves at such an international podium.
I admire his spirit, his belief towards his passion. He has inspired me to ‘dream big and reach for the stars’.
How do you manage your time between family, friends, your studies and training?
Juggling between studies and training is not an easy feat since I train almost every day. I need to find pockets of time to do my work
before training and to complete them at the end of each day. However, through this journey, I have learnt to persevere, and to be more
committed towards my work. I have also learnt to make sacrifices, as I prioritise between work and play.
Nevertheless, I do not drown myself with work and squash only. I still spend time with my friends and watch my favourite television shows
as a form of relaxation.
SPORTS BOY OF THE YEAR: RUTVIK RAU (SQUASH)
• Oncocare Singapore Junior open 2019: Champion (BU19)
• Asean schools game 2019: Individual Champion (KL)
• JC Lindsay Scottish Junior open 2019: Runner-up (BU19)
• Asian Junior open 2019: 5th place
• Asian ranking Top 5 (2019)
• Asian Platinum event, Redtone KL Junior Open 2019: Semi-finalist
What do you enjoy about squash?
I actually started squash when I was 10 in India and I have been playing ever since
then. I think one of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me was the mixture of
the physical and mental aspect of the game. The highly demanding physical sport is
not only tough on the body, but in order to play well, it is also crucial to have good
composure and stability in the game.
Another part i enjoy is the fast pace of the game and the need to have to continuously
adapt to different situations and different circumstances. All players have different
styles and a different approach is needed for each of them so what is very exciting
for me is the process in which the game is played along with the changing plans I
have to make throughout the matches. Another part is the culture around the game, something I would like to believe I have been able
to experience first-hand at the Club. The friendly and open atmosphere always leads to very exciting and engaging training sessions and
matches.
Where do you see yourself in five years’ time in your sporting development?
I am not very sure about how things would be in the next five years, but I definitely have strong hopes to continue playing at the level and
further than I have been performing. I plan to play on the Professional Tour over the next year and would then see how that goes along.
As a junior, the support was available but I think playing on the PSA tour would be a tough challenge and a rewarding experience for me.
How can younger Members get involved in SCC events, activities and Club matters?
I think for junior members the culture and environment matters a lot Personally, I was welcomed very well by most people in the Section
and the warmth and comfort I received was something that encouraged me to be a part of the Club as much as possible. The Intersection
activities and the Club nights play a vital role in building this friendly and homely feeling which encourages young Members to continue
participating in the Club.

When did you start playing football? What was it about
the sport that attracted you?
Football is in your blood from an early age, It was the dominant
sport at school and while I never envisaged a life as a professional
footballer I simply enjoyed the atmosphere and teamwork. I played
at the amateur level during my youth and I was fortunate to engage
in the game during overseas visits and into my life as an expatriate
in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Hong Kong & Singapore.
The SCC Padang is a very special venue; it is Singapore's
Wembley, and it is such a wonderful experience to play any sport
in this impressive Asian arena.
How would you describe your time at the SCC and your
active involvement in the Football Section?
The SCC is a unique Club - the management, the membership
and the staff are all diverse individuals yet there is a bond of
friendship and understanding that makes the SCC both distinctive
and dynamic. I joined the Club in 1997 and became 'active' in the
Football Section almost immediately; there was a lot of history and
tradition in the Padantiques (and the age group was appropriate) my time based in Hong Kong. Henrik was a member of both HKFC
so I signed up immediately. and SCC.
