9 August 2007 – Star Bamboo’s MD appointed into SingCham (Fujian)
Some great news to announce:
The Managing Director of Star Bamboo group of companies, Mr Tan Yin Keong, has been appointed into the SingCham (Fujian), as the Vice-President of the Nanping district.
In case you’re wondering, SingCham (Fujian) is the Fujian Chapter of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China.
It was officially launched on 9 August 2007 at a dinner of 600 people, which coincides nicely with Singapore’s 42nd National Day. The purpose is to assist Singapore companies in Fujian by providing easier access to government programmes, and creating opportunities for networking.
Fujian province has seen explosive growth this year, with an annualised GDP growth of 14.3% in the first half of 2007. This is higher than the national average for China. It’s great to be able to join in this boom.
There weren’t many photo opportunities that night, as everyone were busy networking. Here’s a shot before the start of the event:
To the sides of the stage, you can see two large projector screens with the comfortingly familiar broadcast of ChannelNewsAsia.
Congratulations Mr Tan, and a belated happy birthday to Singapore!
