Congratulatons To Ci Yuan CC MAEC!

Let me congratulate the Chairman and Committee Members of Ci Yuan Community Centre Malay Activity Executive Committee (CYCC MAEC) for their recent 4-Star achievement.

Yes, we have been given 4-star ratings for our activities in Ci Yuan CC which is for the Aljunied-Hougang Constituency in Aljunied GRC.

At the meeting I attended last night, the Chairman for CYCC MAEC, Mr. Ahmad Abdul Majid announced that we have achieved our target of 4-Star for all our activities for the year 2006.

It is the second year since 2005 we have been receiving 4-Star and this is a feat difficult to maintain.

Mr. Ahmad mentioned that we shall need to focus our activities by July 2007 to achieve the third 4-Star award.

Cikgu Siti, 2nd Vice-Chairman for CYCC MAEC, was eager to ask what we will get if we managed to attain the 3rd 4-Star and what is the highest star.

Mr. Ahmad quipped that this award is just a measure of how good a committee is in each Communitiy Centre. By attaining the highest star which is the 4-Star, CYCC MAEC will be recognised throughout Aljunied GRC.

True to his word, it is confirmed that CYCC MAEC will take the lead in Gentarasa 2007!

Gentarasa is always organised by private professional bodies under MESRA.

Gentarasa 2007 will be a first to be organised by any MAEC in the whole of Singapore and that MAEC is CYCC MAEC.

Again, my heartfelt congratulations to CYCC MAEC for their recent achievement!

On a heavier note, I was assigned to be in charge of the Dangdut Night in one of the mosques in Hougang. I'm not looking forward to this but it shall be a first if it is done. Of course, nothing is finalised but it was only a suggestion by Mr. Ahmad for our 2007 activities.

There are lots of activities planned for next year and our activities for this year is never ending!

Tonight, there will be a Deeparaya 2006 jointly organised by CYCC MAEC and Aljunied-Hougang Resident Committees of Zone 7, Zone 8 and Zone 9 at NC Park in Hougang. Tickets are available there.

The meeting ended with a surprise for one of our Executive Members, Mr. Zainal. CYCC MAEC Secretary, Mr. Suhaimi, announced that it was Mr. Zainal's birthday that day and the shy birthday boy who turned 39, was made to cut the cake.

After the recitation of du'a by Vice Chairman CYCC MAEC (me), we ate the cake merrily.

Now .... isn't that rewarding?
