Auction 2/2005
This auction was assisted by my good friend, Mr. Chong Kong Jee, who is also our Vice president and Exhibition chairman, in preparation of the auction catalogue, checking and receipt of the auction lots. Without his persistence of keeping the Society active, there would be only one auction in the year 2005! I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his assistance and production of the most attractive Society's auction catalogue we ever had.
Beside Mr. Chong, I would also like to thank Mr. Goh Chung Oh, Society's Treasurer and an enthusiastic supporter to the society. He has been my best partner and assistant in room auctions for many years back!
Lastly, the strong support from our Advisor Mr. Teo Thuon Kong, who donated the rental of the hotel conference room for the auction, President Mr. Ong Liap Tek and many committee members and members were the greatest encouragement to the auction committee.
