He praised the association for its continuous efforts and hoped it serves as an exemplary model to other non-governmental organisations in the district.

He also urged the association to participate in activities organised by government agencies to show their support.

Among those who were promoted were Yong Kon Siew as the President, Yong Kiam Pin as the Treasurer, Lim Thiam Ming as the Head of Social Development and Community, Chiam Toon Kwang as the Auditor, Kok Per Mau as the Media Officer and Chan Lai Miew as the Cultural Officer.
