Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh and a very good afternoon to all of you.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to be here with us at the SMCCI Townhall. It is really heartening to see so many familiar faces, and new ones too.
As the new President of SMCCI, I am truly humbled by the trust given to me and our leadership team. Every President before me brought their own strengths and left their mark. For me, I bring with me a strong belief in community not just in business, but in relationships, mentorship, and shared growth.
I want to lead a chamber that listens, that adapts, and that reflects the evolving needs and aspirations of our members. That is why today’s townhall is important, it is about hearing from you, connecting with you, and understanding how we can serve you better.
Moving forward, we’ll be focusing on strengthening support for our micro and small businesses whether through targeted programmes, mentorship or practical training. We also want to explore more partnerships, both in Singapore and regionally, so we can open more doors for your business to grow and go international.
By the end of my time as President, I hope SMCCI will be known as a chamber that is open, trusted, and truly member-first. A chamber that walks the journey with you, not just beside you.
Once again, thank you for joining us today. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, your ideas, and working together to shape the future of our business community.
Thank you.
