next 12 months to plan, construct and have ready a new home for SMa. It will beextremely challenging but we do not have many options available to us. The onlypositive thing is that we have the full support of the various government agencieswhich should expedite the process. I do however like to appeal to members tosupport and help out during the next 12 months, if the Council feels we needmore hands and heads. So I hope you will readily respond and lend a hand if Iwrite and seek your assistance.I would like to close by thanking Council, EXCO, various Industry GroupsFunction Committees, and all members for your support and hard work. I wouldlike to specially thank the Secretary General, Dr Roger Low, and his heads ofdepartment and staff in SMa, GS1, SOM and EDC, for their dedication, hardwork and perseverance often putting in long hours to achieve the 2006 results. Ilook forward to the continued support of all, especially in the next 12 months, tohelp us all achieve a more vibrant and stronger SMa that will add value to all itsmembers and help each company grow.13
