The Singapore Government has chosen Tarun Das, chief mentor of Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), for the prestigious Singapore National Day Award for 2004.

The public service medal -- one of Singapore's most prestigious award -- is given to outstanding international personalities in recognition of their support and contribution to the country's economy, a CII statement said here.

The medal will be handed over to Das by Singapore President S R Nathan, in November this year.

"Das has been chosen for this unique honour for his contribution to strengthening economic ties between India and Singapore," it said.
