A warm Welcome Dinner was hosted by SECA on the night of 15 November 2023,  It was a night of good networking for fellowship and meeting new friends.

The 34th FAPECA Board Meeting was held on 16 November 2023 too and a new FAPECA President was elected.  The FAPECA Presidency is helmed by AFEEC.  Hence, Mr Boonsak is the AFEEC and FAPECA President.  Our heartiest congratulations to TEMCA!

There were two technical visits arranged by SECA in the afternoon of 16 November 2023. First was to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College West and then to Gardens by the Bay.  The delegates were very impressed with the training facilities offered in ITE College West.   While in Gardens by the Bay, delegates visited the PV Solar Panels on the Supertrees and also learnt about their Biomass Plant for the Generation of Electricity from Plant Waste.  The visits were indeed very educational.

The next day on 17 November 2023 was the much awaited SECA Golf Tournament.  But unfortunately due to the rain, golfers only managed to finish 9 holes.  Nevertheless it was a good friendly game for networking.

In the evening, the Farewell Dinner was held at the Grassroot’s Club, Eternal Restaurant.  It was a night to bid farewell with joyous singing and toasting.  Every delegate truly enjoyed SECA’s warm hospitality.  A big thank you to SECA!
