Members of Shuntak Association of Taiping celebrated Chinese New Year on 21 February 2015. This year, the celebration was held at the heritage Shuntak Association Hall for the first time after an interval of a great many years. Renovation works on the Hall is still on-going but, still the Shuntak clan members have decided that it was most appropriate to have the celebration there, on the third day of Chinese New Year, so that the younger family members who have returned from near and far, could have a look at the work being done to restore an important part of their social history.
As could be seen from the photo above, the response from members was very good. Posing with pride at the doorway of the great Hall, everyone hoped that such a memorable event would be repeated there year after year with more and more members attending.
As a normal practice, education awards were given out to members' children who have done well in public examinations. These young members have done us proud and it is hoped that one day, this younger generation would take over the leadership of this association and lead it to greater heights.
Paying homage to our patron deity Kuan Ti.
On the whole. the celebration was a successful one. Thanks to the hard-work done by the members especially the committee members, to arrange for setting up the venue and for the food served. With co-operative effort, one could move mountains.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE ! KONG HEI FATT CHOY !!
