I am merely receiving this on behalf of all our loyal and faithful shareholders in Cityneon; and this will not be possible either without the strong support from and partnerships with all the major international studios executives -- Disney, Marvel, Hasbro, Universal and Lionsgate -- in US and in different parts of the world; and the staunch support of our clients, partners, suppliers and vendors worldwide. And most importantly, this award is a fitting testament of the hard work put in all these years by each and every of the 400 or so employees of Cityneon in Singapore, Middle East, United States and offices in various parts of the world, to continue to transform the company into one that many will admire and all will be proud to be part of”.
