Hong Kong and Malaysia Society

Hong Kong and Malaysia Society
General Notice #1
Committee 2010-2011
Date: 25 July 2010

Dear Members,

The end of another academic year is here and the start of another new year is about to take place. Since 2 years ago, when I, Adrian Ng and Chloe Chong founded this society in October 2008 we had never dreamt that HKMaS would be as largest Society of the University or as pro-active as it is today. We found ourselves fortunate to have been part of how this society grew from its mere beginnings to the best society of this University. Most importantly we feel honoured to have the opportunity to lead and work with a great committee to achieve unequivocal success, winning 4 of the highest University awards within this brief period of time. Together we have overcome difficulties, hardships and made countless sacrifices to achieve more for HKMaS and this University than anyone could have imagined. Unfortunately, I, Chloe and the majority are of the Committee 2009-2010 will be graduating this year. However, after all those chaotic and joyous times together HKMaS has given us one of the best University experiences we could ever have together. I hope that we all remain in contact with one another and I would like to wish everyone the best success in the future.

Once again I must congratulate our unquestionably committed and supportive HKMaS Committee 2009-2010 for their active participation in all society events. Special thanks to Jeannie Law, Felicia Tan, Cathy Wong, Jeffrey Soo, Leo Lee, Alison Chai, Deborah Quah, Jacquelyn Yeo, Steven Liew, Archer Au Yeung, Sarah Lim, Lily Tang, Hui Sing Yau, Vincent Liew, Jeremy Martin, Esther Sii, E Qian Tan, Li Pei Fong and Kah Hue Phang for their contributions as HKMaS Committee Members during 2008-2010. All of who have played a substantial role in building this society up from its foundations. Also special thanks to Ee Lian Tan and Kim Bong since 2008, Davin Wong and Winson Lee since 2009 for their continued involvement as committee members for 2010-2011. All contributions are greatly appreciated by HKMaS and the University!

The new committee for 2010-2011 was democratically elected during the Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2010. All new committee members under the new leadership of Mr. Collin Lu (President) and Mr. Astley Chong (Vice President) are expected to assume their active titles and duties starting from 1st August 2010. More details regarding the new committee can be found on our facebook and blog pages shortly.

University Award Winner!

HKMaS has once again won 2 of the highest University Clubs & Society Awards for 2009-2010 straight for two consecutive years.



1. “The Club/Society that has achieved the most for its members”

2. “Recognition of Outstanding Achievements in Sport & Recreation”





Firstly, many thanks to all those members whom took the time to nominate us “HKMaS” as award winners. This success reflects this committee’s continued commitment and efforts to improve and exceed expectations in all aspects. Moreover, with the majority of the 2009-2010 Committee in final year, this year has been a very stressful for all of us. For us to further merit 2 of highest University awards again has been greatly rewarding for all the effort and time this committee has committed.



This year HKMaS has provided the widest variety of activities of any society of the University! We hope that this year has been particularly exciting year with something for everyone. Including a Welcome tour and Airport Pick-up for Fresher’s, HKMaS’s 1st Anniversary Party, Amazing Race around Sunderland, Chinese New Year Party, Hosted the North East Regional DotA Tournament, Sporting competitions and day trips to Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool and continuous opportunities to integrate with other students at from Durham, Newcastle and Northumbria universities in for even more Events, Parties and even Political discussions by world leaders.



The HKMaS Committee 2009-2010 is very grateful to have the continuous support and participation all of our members at all of our events. Without your support, we would have missed out on all those fun events and memorable times which we all had together. Again we wish you continue to support HKMaS in the upcoming year for another spectacular year.

President
