2007 has been an exciting year for the Alumni with the many successful events carried out during the year. One event that I would like to share with you is my experience at the FOSAAS Convention held in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC).
The 7th FOSAAS Convention was successfully held and hosted by the AOTS Vietnam Alumni Society from 21st to 24th November 2007, under the capable leadership of Mr. Pham Xuan Mai – The Chairman. The theme of the Convention is: For Industrial Human Resource Development in the Region. It was attended by nearly 100 participants from 9 national alumni societies from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Japan and Vietnam.
The Malaysian delegation of 10 participants from Klang Valley, Penang, Sarawak and Johor was headed by PAAM President Encik Aziz.
