greeting for our ex-trustee Ms Christina Ting and our Tai Chi teacher Master Tang has given a traditional Chen-Style Tai Chi demonstration. The cruise ended with the exciting auction and raffle draw. Before the night finished,all participants brought home with them gifts which were kindly donated by Tourism Malaysia, Jury’s Inn and Body Shop.

The Chairman,Mr Edmond Yeo thanked the friends and supporters of CIAC who joined the Cruise and remarked that their support and donations to our fundraising events were crucial to help CIAC continues its charity work to the Chinese community as fundings are getting more difficult to obtain from the government.
