To all our Muslim friends, colleagues and groupies ( if any, lah!)..SELAMAT HARI RAYA!
I always savour the saliva-inducing food like beef rendang and chicken kurma that Dr Omar and family put out during Raya. Although I have to give it a miss this year, I made up by making a bee line for the Ramadan spread in KL,and boy! Those of you who follow the foodies's columns in the weekend STAR know what I mean.You cannot have too much of a good thing : ))
Back to the more mundane. Time is whipping by so fast that our bodies are starting to feel a disconnect, and before too long, we will be wondering whether to attend the AGM or not.
Unlike the hot agenda in both MIC andMCA of late where everyone was/is pushing their resolutions and candidates, the SVA has stayed mute.We really have to take stock of ourselves and ask what STIMULUS jabs to give the SVA if we do not want to end up like the Dodo.
Which brings me to my own agenda:
I am calling for articles for the next issue of the SVA newsletter. The dateline is a comfortable 30 days away,folks...say 24th October,2009. After that issue, I propose that we reorganise ourselves IT-wise and replace the newsletter by postings on the SVA blogsite; or do what the FEER just did.. fold up without a whimper.
Our wise and ever so encouraging VP Dr Adrian has advised me to sabar and put out another issue instead of comitting hara kiri without the bells and whistles.
Anyway, over to you ahli-ahli SVA.
