President's Message
 
 
Welcome to our last issue for 2005.

Our 20th Anniversary Annual Dinner on 18th November was a huge success compared to the last couple of Annual Dinners. The last few Annual Dinners were held on an informal and smaller basis (around 100 people attending or equivalent to about 10 tables). This year, in celebration of our 20 years of successful activities, it was held on a grander scale. We were happy that our target of at least 20 tables was achieved. The Organizing Committee led by Mr Theodore Wong did an excellent job. Our two beautiful ladies Ms Angela Saul and Ms Surinam played an important coordinating role to ensure that the Dinner function went smoothly. Our thanks to all those involved, and also to our sponsors and organisations who bought the tables.

The Hippo Family Homestay program was successfully held in Malacca from 18th-25th August 2005. When I met them during the farewell dinner, it was a joy to see that the Japanese guests greatly appreciated their stay. A big "Thank you" to the host families who made the guests' stay a memorable one. Our Ms Surinam did a tremendous job of coordinating with the Malacca host families (a first time for PAAM to organise it in Malacca).

Local training programmes, in cooperation with the AOTS Malaysia office, increased this year. We thank AOTS for their kind cooperation.

On behalf of your Central Committee Members, I wish all of you a "Merry Christmas" and a "Very Happy New Year". I also wish all of you success in your undertakings, and good health to you and your family.
