Being re-elected as your President for the 2026/2027 term is truly a profound honour. I am deeply thankful to the Council Members for their continued trust and confidence. In this coming term, I remain fully committed to elevating the status, prestige, and image of the Institute.

Please join me in welcoming and congratulating all the newly elected Office Bearers, Council Members, and Chairpersons of our various Committees and Boards. I also wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all outgoing Committee and Board Members. Your support, valuable insights, and dedicated contributions have significantly enhanced our operations.

It is with deep sadness that we inform our members that Mr. Thiagarajan A/L Muthu (Ipoh, Perak) has stepped down from his position as a Council Member due to health reasons. We wish to record our highest appreciation for his 18 years of dedicated service, invaluable guidance, and significant contributions to the Council. His leadership and unwavering commitment have been foundational to the growth of IACS. Please join us in wishing him a smooth recovery, improved health, and the very best in all his future endeavours.

Looking ahead, I am pleased to share that with the consent of our members at the AGM, IACS will host its 30th Anniversary Dinner, tentatively scheduled on 24th October 2026. We cordially invite all members to join us in commemorating this historic milestone. Please stay tuned for further updates and registration details.

Finally, members are encouraged to write to us on any technical or other operational issues as well as enquiries with SSM or other agencies, regarding the company law and corporate practical secretarial issues faced, so that the Technical Advisory and Publication Board may respond or discuss them at the proper forums or meetings, and will provide our comments accordingly.

We deeply value your continuous support and active participation in all IACS activities.

Take care and stay safe.

Thank you.
