In the morning light of Singapore's National Day, the five stars and the crescent moon on the national flag shine together, just like the eternal spirit engraved on the Vanda Miss Joaquim medal. This medal of honor, named after the national flower, not only bears witness to the brilliance of outstanding contributors, but also carries the deep meaning of "excellence like orchids, and a solid foundation". The Vanda Miss Joaquim in the center of the medal is forged with pure silver, and its five petals stretch like star rays, which not only echoes the diverse integration symbolized by the national flag, but also implies that the winners must possess the five core qualities in their professional fields: tenacity, innovation, collaboration, dedication and humility. The golden lines extending from the flower stem are like the roots of the orchid plant deeply rooted in the soil, and like the winding flow of the Singapore River, reminding every dreamer: Only by closely linking personal growth with national development can we draw strength from the soil of the times. The wave pattern engraved on the silver base is in line with the rhythm of the red and white stripes of the national flag. The designer deliberately designed the petals of the highest honor "Golden Orchid Award" to be half-open and half-closed – showing the glory of blooming, while retaining the posture of being ready to go, just like the spirit of Singapore: always maintain an enterprising spirit in the face of achievements, and stick to the virtue of humility behind the honor. When the national flag rises slowly, the Vanda Miss Joaquim medal shines on the chest of the winner. This is not only a medal of personal struggle, but also a call to all citizens: every ordinary job can breed extraordinary things, and every small persistence will gather into a magnificent force to push the City of Stars and Moon forward.
