Happy New Year !

The Shuntak Association, Taiping, wishes A Happy New Year, to all members, friends and followers of our blog.

Last year was a very eventful year for our association. Apart from the usual annual activities, a restoration sub-committee was set up to "save" our heritage clan house. Since then, the project was highlighted in various local newspapers and gained support from the Heritage Society, as well as several government agencies. The tempo of this activity will certainly be more up-beat this year as we have got our flyer ready (thanks to Chee Keong again) for more a aggressive fund-raising drive.

This year the Shuntak Association, Taiping, committee has drawn up a list of social / cultural activities for its members and friends, and it is hoped that we will get the same, if not better, support and participation from all concerned :

The first activity on the list is the celebration of Chinese New Year for all members and friends.
There will be the servings of food, food and more food. There will be distribution of 'ang-pows'! Don't worry if you are not eligible for an ang-pow due to your maritial status, for there will be lucky draws too! Then, to encourage the young do well in their studies, awards for members' children who excel in the academic field will be given out. Don't miss this occasion!

Summary of Restoration Plan

As the restoration programme gains momentum, our adviser/consultant, Mr. Teoh Chee Keong, has drawn up a three-dimensional pictorial summary of the plan for restoration of the heritage clan house. It gives a very clear picture of the extent of the work that is supposed to be done and also how the building would look like after restoration. We wish to thank Mr Teoh Chee Keong for his fine contribution.
