It had been a long and tiring year… One filled with bittersweet memories, shared by all. No doubt the road we had travelled was rough, but we still made through. Through thick and thin, we stood by one another… How could anyone forget? It had been a wonderful experience being your President, but the time has come for me to pass the baton to a more competent batch of leaders. It is time for a renewal of leadership.
I must first congratulate the new Excos on their appointments. They have been identified and selected based on merit. They are a mark of Distinction, outstanding in character and abilities. The new team of excos, together with the various section leaders, will bring the Orchestra to greater heights!
The road ahead is unpredictable. It may be laden with obstacles and the only way to overcome them, would be to stay united in the face of adversity. Since we are all on the same boat, cooperation and harmony are essential in bringing about prosperity. There is much to be learnt from previous experiences, mistakes committed throughout the past years and problems to be solved, immediately. The path ahead is optimistic, please believe, it will be!
I dare say, with much certainty that the Orchestra is in good hands. Never allow the Orchestra’s spirit to waver! The most important task now is to unleash the full potential of the Orchestra. After today’s performance, I am convinced that the Orchestra would be able to scale greater heights! Potential without fulfillment is a waste.
With that, I would like to wish the new excos and the Orchestra all the best in the upcoming year. It will be a fun-filled journey ahead! It would be exciting to watch a new chapter unfold!
