COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS , MNRA ENDS 2015 ON A HIGH NOTE - Central Region

Food glorious food at Pak John Steamboat....

The sound of happy noises filled a special section of Pak John Steamboat at E-curve on a Saturday 28th November. Better than expected attendance with last minute participants turning up after being coaxed by friends. A nice arrangement where we had steamboat and at the same time BBQ the meats. Careful not to pile our plates lest we pay penalty for leftovers, many enjoyed the variety of foods available while others stayed on to chat even after the lunch was over.

Hey guys, you should have come for the fantastic food

COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS , MNRA ENDS 2015 ON A HIGH NOTE - Sabah Region

Land Below the Wind Waits for No One

Not wanting to be left behind, MNRA Sabah was launched  on 20th Dec 2015 with the presence of  Leong Ming Chee/Lau Phaih Yean and  from MNRA Sarawak Raymond Teo and Salleh Ibrahim to lend support. Newly elected Chairman Jason Chong and Secretary Thien Kim Siong gave their every effort to round up all the Retirees. The Nestle Spirit of Caring carries on as both of them even provided transport to those who can no longer drive. It is wonderful to see them still having the Nestle Family spirit.

Proud to have one of our pioneer executives for Sabah, Mr Yapp Chee Hen to join us. He fetched Raymond Teo from the airport and together with a few friends , we all visited Anna Shen at her very nice house with lots of flowers and plants.

Jason and Thien brought Ming Chee and Phaih Yean to Kiansom and Kokol Hill to recce possible get together sites for future gathering. We found a nice “holiday place” with basic facilities up at Kiansom – Rasa Sayang Chalet , where we could stay overnight with our families and even have a BBQ or steamboat given the cool air up there especially in the evenings.

Come 2016, we shall look forward to an outing with Jason and Thien up in the hills . We also hope to organise a trip to Kinabatangan, Sandakan where we can participate in Project Rileaf planting trees along the river and estuary.
