(Bandar Seri Begawan, 12th Jan) Vice Chairman of Brunei Hokkien Association, Fang Jin Xing, in his speech, expressed that over the past year, the activities of the Brunei Hokkien Association have been substantial. This achievement is due to the support and recognition from various sectors of society. He takes this opportunity to thank everyone for accompanying the Brunei Hokkien Association through twenty-five years, and the cooperation and collective efforts of advisors, council members, and the youth league over the past year in planning, preparing, and carrying out activities, which made the organization of these events vibrant.
Vice Chairman Fang Jin Xing represented Chairman Fang Yan He in attending today's 10th Council Second (2024) General Assembly and delivered the above speech.
He mentioned that in order to give members a sense of belonging, the association organizes meaningful activities to attract members and fellow countrymen to participate. He also hopes that professional talents among the members, especially young people, will join the association to truly unleash their talents and contribute to the development of our community, which will be of great help for the future development of the association.
However, it is regrettable that summarizing the experience from activities shows low active participation from members. Therefore, it is hoped that members can take the time to actively participate in activities, spending one or two hours in these colorful events might bring a group of lifelong friends from unfamiliar acquaintances, along with gained experiences.
The Brunei Hokkien Association is now entering its 27th year. It hopes to continue working together with everyone to write the next chapter of glory from this new starting point. Let's work together to push the association towards even more glorious times.
This year, with the cooperative efforts of the entire council, secretariat, and finance department, the financial status of the association remains stable and growing. In the future, the association will continue to promote activities to enhance members' sense of belonging.
He sincerely thanks everyone's contributions on behalf of the association and appreciates the media colleagues for their coverage, which has left a perfect mark on the association's series of events!
Thank you all for taking the time to attend the 2024 Annual General Assembly, fulfilling the basic duties of being a member, and collectively reviewing and evaluating the association's performance over the past year, monitoring its development.
I hereby, on behalf of the council members, warmly welcome everyone present for taking the time from your busy schedule to attend the annual general assembly. Your presence shows the care and support of members for the association, which is also the driving force of our committed efforts. Here I extend the most sincere greetings and heartfelt thanks to all members.
Finally, I again thank everyone for taking the time to attend the assembly today, wish you all health, family happiness, and career success.
He also announced that the meeting officially begins; following that, the Secretary-General and Treasurer of the association will report on the 2024 operations and financial status, and discuss countermeasures.
