TURNING 50 happens only once, a milestone so significant that the anniversary is named in honour of the noblest of metals.

To celebrate a half-century’s work of engaging the nation since 1971, Star Media Group (SMG) pulled out all the stops with a black-tie gala to round off the year-long celebration.
