Dear fellow members,

This lecture by Tan Sri Dr.Lau is a beginning of a series of lectures by distinguished speakers who are professionals in their own fields of expertise.

Do spread the word around as , ultimately we ourselves will benefit from the perspective given by Tan Sri and not forgetting that this will raise the stature of the club.

Admission is free for members but a
door fee of $18 will be applicable for non-members & guests. We should start at 3.30pm and end at 4.30pm followed by hi-tea.

DTM En.Mohamad Abdullah has put in a lot of effort into this program and at the same time expecting NO monetary benefits in return.

I sincerely hope to see all of you on Tuesday 13th January 3pm sharp.

Have a nice weekend.
