A Message from Our President

Dear Fellow ARA compatriots, It is my great privilege and honour to be elected as your "voice" and representative on behalf of all of you in ARA. We gathered and formed the current ARA Council before the CoVid pandemic and have sailed through the past 2 years. It has been quite an experience and have learnt much. It has been tough for all of us but we moved on and weathered the storm.

I am very glad to have a team of dedicated and committed Council members to work with. Despite the challenges and obstacles, we faced in our daily work routines, lockdowns, CoVid measures, increase in equipment and material prices, our team still managed to organize webinars, technical talks, soft skills training and also lately our ARA Golf event cum dinner. All these were achieved through much selfless sacrifice of time and efforts as we strived to achieve the objectives and aim of forming ARA.

I hope we can meet and gather more often in future for camaraderie and fellowship. I must salute our Council team and a big "Thank You" for the efforts and commitment put in by our current Officers to engage our fellow ARA members. We hope that during our term in office, we have worked towards fulfilling our members' expectations and to serve all of you better. ARA is truly blessed with such dedicated, selfless and committed Council members. Thank you all on behalf of ARA guys…… It has been a pleasure with you all in the team!!!

The CoVid virus is still mutating and causing discomfort. Though not as serious as before. We must all always be vigilant and be safe. Please take good care of yourselves and I hope all of you stay healthy always. I look forward to meeting all of you in person at our next gathering and future meetings.
