 I
am humbled to have been
elected President of the
OBA.
My journey as an ACSian
started in 1970 at
Anglo-Chinese Primary
School (Coleman Street).
After four years at
Anglo-Chinese Secondary
School (Barker Road), I
completed my ACS
education at
Anglo-Chinese Junior
College in 1981. Like
many ACSians, completing
my ACS education is a
precursor to a lifetime
commitment to ACS. Those
of us who were
privileged to have
received an ACS
education owe it to
future generations of
ACSians, to continue
supporting, contributing
and giving to our alma
mater and ensuring that
the ACS spirit remains
forevermore.
The OBA is the
embodiment of the ACS
spirit, in all of its
102 years of existence.
It is timely for the OBA
to take stock,
recalibrate and chart
new destinations with
bold aspirations. My
committee members and I
will enter into a season
of reflection, to search
and ascertain how OBA
can become more vibrant,
useful and relevant to
our members, alumni and
stakeholders. We will
reach out to as many
ACSians and members of
the ACS community as
possible: to speak,
discuss and gather your
thoughts, feedback and
input.
If you are an ACSian,
please join us to shape
OBA’s future direction.
Opportunities to
volunteer, serve and
participate will be
published on OBA’s
website, and my
committee members and I
look forward to working
with everyone who is
committed to bringing
fresh energy, time and
resources to making our
OBA one that is worthy
of our school’s motto.
Our campaign to
revitalize the OBA will
be fraught with
challenges. Then again,
it has been said that
“nothing in the world is
worth having or worth
doing unless it means
effort, pain,
difficulty”1.
So, as the OBA “closes
one chapter, the pen is
gradually inking up,
preparing itself to
write the next”2.
Would you join us3
in writing the next
chapter of the OBA?

of interest from all
ACSians who wish to
volunteer for the work
of OBA.
