Koh’s films have won multiple awards including the Silver Hugo Award at the Chicago International Film Festival. She also received the National Arts Council’s Young Artist Award in 2010.

Pink Dot Singapore has grown to be the city’s largest LGBT event and every year sees LGBT and allies come together to celebrate the ‘Freedom to Love.’ This year’s event will be help on 4 June from 3pm.
