Good Reasons to celebrate 2015

MNRA celebrates 2015 at Chef Ismail’s Restoran Rebung
by Leong Ming Chee

A great year in 2015, ushering in 2016 and  a pre-Chinese  New Year Celebrations are all good reasons to celebrate at Chef Ismail’s Restoran Rebung at Taman Botanic Perdana.

Chef Ismail who is very familiar with Nestlè Retirees, helped us organize a buffet feast in his newly opened restaurant on 17th January 2016.

More than 105 participants attended, feasting their eyes on the elaborate variety of dishes and desserts. Chef Ismail mingled with the crowd as he greeted old friends, obliged with photo shots and as usual made all laughed with his jokes.

Also there was Chef Florence Tan including Puan Zainun Andul Rauf..

 

We had another successful Good Food, Good Life event with only good memories in our minds.

MNRA Newsletter - 2016 Feb

16th  February 2016

Dear Members

On behalf of the MNRA Management Committee, we wish  our members Gong Xi Fa Cai and may the Year of the Monkey bring us all Good Health, Happiness and Peace throughout the year.

We ended the year very well with an active Q4/2015 and we are pleased to give you a summary:


1) A celebration of friendship at Restoran Simpang Tiga on 22nd November 2015 –

Members in Northern Region (Penang and Ipoh regions combined) came together, joined by friends from Central Region. 

Mohamad Noor bin Mohd Taib remained as Chairman
– Northern Region whilst Chang Fook Weng was
 elected as the new Secretary for 2016.

We thank Jerry Lee Ooi Beng, outgoing Secretary for his efforts in carrying out his duties.

It is wonderful to know that members make the effort to come for these get-togethers. It is also a good opportunity to recruit new members and inform them about MNRA activities.

2) Steamboat and BBQ at Pak John’s  @ E-Curve on 28th November 2015 - 

A combination of  steamboat and Korean–style BBQ at Pak John’s makes our meals a lot more fun as we cooked the ingredients ourselves, the way we wanted or how we liked it. Surprisingly, a few of us had no idea how to use the Korean BBQ.  Looking to our left and right,  we soon learnt quickly how to cook our meat.

Pictures below epitomizes happy retirees amidst friends and good food.

It was so nice to see everyone enjoying themselves and to catch up with each other.

3) Sabah, the Land Below the Wind launches MNRA on 20th December 2015 –

At last we have the final region joining MNRA. Sabah was not going to be left out. At the launch, the President Leong Ming Chee explained the history behind the formation and the activities organized so far, plus assistance which can be given to Retirees.

Jason Chong and Thien Kim Siong were unanimously elected as Chairman and Secretary respectively.
One of the pioneer executives for East Malaysia, Mr Yapp Chee Hen joined for the first time and so did Jimmy Wong. We had the pleasure of Mr Raymond Teo and Salleh Ibrahim who flew all the way from Sarawak to attend the inaugural launch. Our Secretary Lau Phaih Yean also attended.

4) Ushering in 2016 and pre CNY celebrations –

Held at Chef Ismail’s Restoran Rebung located at Taman Botanic Perdana where over 105 people attended the specially prepared buffet by Chef Ismail and his team.



Smile, you are on candid camera. The group was too big for 1 photo.

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.



It’s not healthy if you put too much oil

“Nothing stops me from attending” , says Chong Soon Fatt

The ole gang – any resemblance?                                        

Wah, have to wait a while before I can eat.

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.

A lovely view from Rasa Sayang Chalet at Kiansom

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.
