Malaysian Alumni Celebrate 10th Anniversary

More than 200 people attended a dinner last month to celebrate the 10-Year Anniversary of the University of Adelaide Alumni Malaysia Bhd.

The anniversary dinner, held at the Royal Selangor Club, Kuala Lumpur, attracted alumni and friends from around the region.

Attendees included the Deputy High Commissioner of Australia, Mr Simon Merrifield, the President of the Adelaide University Alumni Association Singapore, Mr David Goh, distinguished alumnus Colonel (Retired) Dr Richard H Yung and Mrs May Yung from Singapore, Mr Geoffrey Sauer and family.

Dr Harry Medlin, who was the Guest of Honour and key speaker at the event, represented the University of Adelaide in his capacity as the University Alumni Envoy to South East Asia. Dr Medlin reflected on his involvement with alumni in the region and acknowledged the magnitude of achievements by alumni from the university.

A framed parchment from the university was presented to the Malaysian Chapter to congratulate them on this occasion. A special gift of University pins was also presented to Mr Lee Chee Meng, President of the Chapter, from Dr Medlin.

A commemorative booklet was prepared for the event with messages from the High Commissioner of Australia to Malaysia, the Vice-Chancellor and the Chair of the Alumni Association.

It was a very successful event and all who attended had an immensely good time!
