New Perak Branch Email Address and Supplementary Homepage
Please note that the branch's E-mail address has been changed - [email protected]. To complement the Perak MNS Homepage a supplementary link has been started and maintained by Dr. Chan Kai Soon (http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Forest/5225/) to give the latest information on Perak branch and the activities. The main webmaster's business requires him to be out of town often so he is not able to update the homepage often. Thanks a lot Dr. Chan!
New CEO and HQ Premise
Dr. Low Hing Yang has been appointed the new MNS CEO as of December 1. We wish him all the best in solving the problems plaguing the MNS and leading a more efficient team to improve the MNS's image and service to members. HQ office will be moving to a new premise (page 1) near the National Museum on the last week of December and should settle down by 2 January 1999.
Congratulations
Nature trips are rewarding in more than one way! Evelyn Yoon Lai Wan won the first prize in the Tetrapak competition with her winning entry, a photograph taken up in Gunung Suluh (not an official branch trip but attracted 20 members as reported in the September-October newsletter).
New Members
We welcome the following who applied to join as new members or rejoined the society after a lapse of some time either directly to HQ or through the Perak Branch. If anyone is left out of this list please write in to inform the Chairman as soon as possible.
Apologies
Due to an oversight in the haste to produce the newsletter in time festive greetings were left out. So a belated Happy Deepavali to all our Hindu Members.
