  • PA Kopitalk with the PM

    This event was actually supposed to last Saturday. But then the PM had to travel and so it was postponed to today morning at Punggol One, in the midst of a long weekend.

    Plus I have to be in KL and so I am on the 235pm flight. Tight schedule. Event starts at 11, they have scheduled me for lunch with the public office holders at 1230 and I have scheduled a pick up from there to the airport at 115pm.

    Anyway..I arrived here at 1015 and met so many people I know with so many MPs and Ministers present as well. I had a good chat with Minster Chee Hong Tat on the ongoing crisis before the session and that was good.

    Good session and the PM talked for about 25 minutes on the current issues affecting Singapore and the world. That was useful. The questions from the floor thereafter were rather general. Apparently this is his first kopi talk at PM.

    It ended on time and the lunch session wasn’t that useful and I managed to take my car to the airport on time.

  • Club 100 Dinner 2026

    Last night was our Club 100 dinner at the Asian Civilisation Museum. Our 18th year. As always wonderful to meet so many people I know there. Some of whom I meet only once a year!

    I am really grateful to my committee members and the staff for the wonderful work they put in to make this such a success.

    This year we had SMS Zaqy as our GOH together with a number of current and former grassroots advisors.

    I was seated next to the current and former Mayors. Unfortunately Mayor Alex was rather unwell and has been nursing a cough for about 3 months now.

    It is always such a lovely event and the food and venue turned out well too.

    We managed our target of 750 members.
