THE younger generation has been urged to develop skills for the benefit of the community.
Sungai Pinang assemblyman Lim Siew Khim said it was crucial for the youth to acquire and further develop their skills.
“I am happy, and I encourage the younger generation to be part of JCI, an international platform, to develop their skills and to bring positive changes to the community.
“My heartiest congratulations to Junior Chamber International (JCI) Pearl for having successfully developed women leaders in our society for the past four decades. It must have involved years of dedication and hard work from this group of passionate ladies for being able to celebrate the 43rd anniversary,” she said during the JCI Pearl 43rd Installation and Award Banquet at Hotel Jen Penang on Feb 23.
JCI Pearl president Chaysea Tay thanked the organisation for the opportunity given to lead.
She also thanked outgoing president Sany Low and her team for the achievements last year.
Organising chairlady Zendieey Lee said the successes during the past year were a testament of hard work and dedication of the outgoing board.
She also wished Tay a successful term as the new JCI Pearl president.
JCI Pearl and JCI Luzhou in Taiwan also reaffirmed their bond of international relations through their sisterhood pact, which was signed on Dec 1, 1990.
