We have had a long and fruitful relationship with you andare grateful for your professional support and friendship. We look forward toworking with you in the future, hopefully for at least the next 80 years, andwe wish you every success going forward.Ms Judith SlaterActing British High Commissioner to SingaporeCongratulations on the SMF’s 80 th Anniversary!The SMF is indeed a success story. And as Confucius says: “Success depends upon previouspreparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure”.The success of the SMF certainly lies not only in its ability to prepare its own organisation for thepermanent challenges and surprises the business world always has up its sleeve, but also in its ability,knowledge, service and successful support to its members. However, there is more to an organisationthat has endured the life span of 80 years – and this is hard work. We therefore congratulate the SMFand all its hardworking teams for their endurance, their motivation and the hard work they have put into form this very fine organisation.With our very best wishes for the coming 80 years.Mr Volker R.
