KUCHING: The World Sim Clan Foundation delegates are urged to actively utilise technology especially with the emergence of the 5G revolutionary era.
Federation of Malaysia Sim Clan Associations president Sim Moh Khian stated this during the 35th anniversary dinner cum Malaysian Sim Clan Conference and World Sim Clan Conference last Sunday here at Hoi Tin Lau Restaurant, Aeroville Mall.
Sim told the delegates present at the dinner that they should pay attention to the development trend and application of
electronic information technology in the world today, especially with the recent emergence of the 5G revolutionary era, global village without borders and the moment of realisation.
“Technology should be focused on to build our
information network to strengthen interaction and complementary links between the Sim clan units around the world, as well as for us to develop ourselves.
“The permanent secretariat of the foundation has been established to provide a database
centre, an instant and enthusiastic service point for the Sim Clan Association and related organisations around the world,” he informed.
Sim further noted that the foundation should focus on quality improvement through programmes such as holding various academic exchange forums on contemporary topics, Chinese traditional customs and cultural talents and essay contests on the history of the world and the development through times.
“A networking party will also help to promote understanding but this sort of activity requires money and time,” he explained.
Furthermore, he addressed that the foundation should also try to promote incentive
programmes that attract the younger generation as they are the clan’s future.
He added that these are the goals given by the board of
directors and in order to achieve them, the clan organisations that have not yet joined the association will be able to actively join the world foundation.
Sim reiterated, “We are of the same roots and we will not be involved in any political issues or ideology.
“We will negotiate unity, respect each other, carry out our responsibilities and implement our unity as this is the founding purpose of this clan.”
Also present at the dinner were former Head of State Tun Pehin Sri Abang Muhammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng along with his wife Toh Puan Datuk Pantinggi Norkiah and E-Commerce Assistant Minister Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais.
The dinner was attended by 1,000 delegates to celebrate the eighth anniversary of the
establishment of the Malaysian Sim Clan Association and the second anniversary of the world’s Sim Family Clan Association.
During the dinner, an oath recitation ceremony was held with its members followed with the handing over of signed oath text by World Sim Clan Foundation founding chairman Sim Son Chua to Sim Moh Khian.
The night ended with a cake cutting ceremony, presentation of souvenirs to Naroden and Salahuddin and performances to entertain the attendees.
