Dear fellow SCL(S) members

Welcome to the latest edition of our SCL(S) newsletter, which is the first of our duly elected Council now helmed by Moon Kua – many congratulations again, Moon!

One of the perks of being the new Council's Immediate Past Chairman is that I get to pen the Message for its first newsletter.

I consider myself the privileged one – the lucky one – to be chair of SCL(S) after an evolutionary journey through its initial 18 years. The hard work was done by my illustrious past nine chairs in setting it all up, paving the way, engineering the roadmap and making the tough decisions, all of which led us to where we are. I only had to fortify all of that so that none of it withered away during the pandemic years of my time as chair. At the same time, I needed the enterprise, desire and spirit to bring us onwards to our third decade. I am filled with gratitude to be afforded this opportunity. It was an honour to serve. I enjoyed my time. I learnt a lot. And, I certainly grew up (in fact, quite a bit along the way!). I am thankful to everyone who helped, encouraged and pushed me along the way, especially the 2020-2022 Council members, and June and her team at Intellitrain. I hope I made a decent fist of it. Now in my new role, I look forward to working with the new Council team to continue to fulfil the objects of the Society.

Our 20th Anniversary celebrations continue on. And, on 28 October later this year we have our full-day 3rd "Focus on Asia" hybrid Conference with its central theme being sustainability, followed by our 20th Anniversary Gala Dinner. Looking forward to meeting you then!

Immediate Past Chairperson, SCL (Singapore)
