MNRA Newsletter - 2015 Dec

by Leong Ming Chee

MNRA Malacca welcomes Wee Kim Lan for lunch
 A few phone calls, whatsapping and voila, Malacca Chairman Tee Tiong Chye
organized a lunch at LTP Restaurant on Sat 22nd November. It was really good
catching up with all especially  withTan Sai Hong who I used to work with when I
was RSM in JB many years ago.


Jenny Lee, our lady golfer champion together with Wee Kim Lan who came back from Melbourne for holidays, Foo Jong Ping, Lim Kee Yong, Patrick Khoo, Seet Lay Kim ,
Lau Phaih Yean and Mr Ngim Khek Ding (ex GIBU sales supervisor) were all in good health and shape….perhaps a few were hard on hearing so we had to talk louder.
Thanks for the good food and get-together, Mr TTC and friends.



 

MNRA Malacca- great to catch up on old times


CCK travels with BMW- T series to attend MNRA JB get-together.


Nothing could stop Turkey Chan aka CCK to attend JB MNRA Luncheon on 29th Nov 2014,
organised at the poolside of Sri Mutiara Apartments where ChairmanYeap Swee Lin stays.

From Singapore across to JB, it took him 3+ hours  with his BMW- T series….in Singapore,
it  means Bus, MRT, Walk and if necessary take Taxi. It was all worth it and a good experience.

A brief medical check was  done by Dr Thomas for all 16 Retirees.
Most were happy with their blood pressure and sugar levels. On the BMI side, some were on the high side and were asked to exercise a bit more. Well done Johore Chapter for the initiative - first of its kind done for MNRA functions.



Our most senior member is Mr Goon at 78 years followed by Mr Seah at 76 years with
8 grandchildren. Mdm  Chua comes next at 70 years and then CCK.  All looking good and healthy.
The younger ones in their fifties and sixties are Gan Sin Hock, Chuah, Hanim, Kee Lek King, and Kadar who is now the Secretary of the Segamat Golf Club.
Our topics were mostly on health and life in the south, Singapore and of course rising costs of living these days.


When the lunch ended at 4.30pm, it was sad to leave but all enjoyed themselves .
Wishing all Merry Xmas and Happy New Year………from CCK.

MNRA Northern Chapter elects new Chairman and Secretary

Northern Chapter held the Get-together for year end 2014 and welcoming 2015 on 14th Dec
at Safira Country Club , Bandar Seberang Jaya. Members from Kedah, Perak and Penang
filled the three tables sit down luncheon. Members like Jeffery Teh & Ang Kim Sai from Ipoh
were at Safira as early at 10.30am to meet up fellow Retirees. Many were seen asking about other Retirees who were not present. After knowing that they are not MNRA members, they committed to try to get them sign up as members. (eg. like Lim Hui Kok (SP); Tan Ping Seng (AS);Tan Chow Tan (P Buntar). As Northern Region have over 100 Retirees. All agreed to get more Retirees to sign up as members. Thumbs up for their efforts.




 

Opportunity was taken to elect a new Chairman and Secretary for MNRA Northern Chapter as Outgoing Chairman Mr. Lee Choo Yang and Secretary Mr. Goh Seng Nam relinquished their duties. 
On behalf of MNRA, we wish to acknowledge and thank them for their commitment and effort in promoting the Association and in carrying out their duties.
