As the new president of the Malaysia-Singapore Students' Association. I would like to make the following statement:—

The Committee and I intend to place emphasis on the following three issues during our term in office:

• Welfare: Aiding, supporting and helping our members in their studies or in other personal matters.

• Social: Ensuring that members achieve a balanced medium between studies and social activities.

• Cultural: To promote our culture throughout the community and to encourage closer contact with other students and members of the community.

Our programme will be oriented towards these three factors in which we invite any interested parlies to participate. We would also like to express our best wishes to our readers in their forthcoming examinations.
