七屆世余暨二十六屆全美余氏雙慶大會有感
作為來自遠東、新加坡的參與者，這對我來說是一個很好的機會， 不但可以與所有聚集在三藩市來自世界各地的余氏宗親見面，還最重要的是， 我很榮幸代表新加坡余氏總會參加第二十六屆全美余風采堂懇親大會暨 第七屆世界余氏宗親會懇親大會。自二○一七年五月十四日第七屆世界余氏宗親總會主席、 余永源先生和卡麗娜女士訪問新加坡以來，我們一直焦急地期待著參加這一個〝史詩〞的事件。

Combined 7th World Yee Family Association & 26th US Yee Family Association National Conventions
As a participant from the Far East, Singapore, it was a great opportunity for me to meet with all the Yees from around the world, gathered here in San Francisco. Most importantly, it was my honour to represent the Yee Clan Association, Singapore, in this Convention. Ever since the then World Yee Chairman, Mr. Eddie Yee and Ms. Carina visited Singapore in May 14th 2017, we were anxiously looking forward to this epic event.
Firstly, I had to apologize for filing my report late. My family and I had a truly awesome, once in my lifetime, maximised 2 months travelling experience in the US and the “North to Alaska” outback. We returned home on Oct 2nd and quickly rushed out these scripts and some photos to Martin Yee for publication.
August 8th, we took a 15-hour non-stop flight from Singapore to San Francisco. We spend a couple of days in Napa Valley to savour some fine wines before heading back to SFO on Aug 11th for the World Yee reception. We met Jeanette and Carina at the Registration Room, Hilton, exchanged greetings with Johnson Yee, the Hong Kong delegates, Jim, Kenny, Martin, Donald, Sherman and Frank, just to mention a few.

余氏总会端午节庆祝会
余氏总会去年修改章程，增添了新的宗旨--协助国家推广文教工作，栽培具有优良传统价值观的双语人才。为了落实这个目标，我们成立了文教组，并积极推广传统文化。
端午节，是华人的一个具有特殊意义的节日，通过对忧国忧民的爱国诗人屈原的事迹，教导大家关心社会，热心族人。余氏总会在6月17日中午，举办了盛大的端午节庆祝会，吸引了近百名宗亲报名参加。
那天，我的工作是把近百个粽子载来总会，一走进会所，发现青年团和妇女组成员正在准备美味佳肴，忙得不亦乐乎，会所更是布置得整齐美观。不久，空气中弥漫着粽子的香味，宗亲们都陆陆续续到来，节目就开始了。

This was the first time Yee Clan Association held the Duanwu Jie or better known as Dragon Boat Festival. 87 members and their families turned up to celebrate this event.
Behind the scene was our very efficient Zhang Qing and his brothers were busy preparing food. Yuke Lin sourced some very popular Hokkien, Nonya style and salted duck's egg yolk rice dumplings. Mary home-made a large number of alkaline rice dumplings.
Beautiful Xi Mei compered the event, games, and singing sessions. Our eloquent, Peng Kwang explained the legend of Duanwu Jie and the immortal Qu Yuan to our younger members.
All of us had an exciting and good time. Big thank you to all and anyone not mentioned above but helped to make this event a great success.

出席麻甲余氏宗祠84周年祠庆 2018年 5月 1日, 早上7点半
5月1号是公共假日，也是麻甲余氏宗祠庆祝84周年祠庆的日子。新加坡余氏总会收到了邀请函，共28位宗亲报名前往麻甲出席当晚的祠庆晚宴。
当天早上，28位宗亲分坐两辆小巴士，浩浩荡荡的往关卡出发了。很幸运的，一路通行无阻，顺利的通过关卡，来到皇后坊的一间咖啡店，大家下车喝咖啡吃早餐，顺便上上洗手间。
吃完早餐，启程时，天竟然下起了倾盆大雨，近两个小时的车程，抵达麻甲余氏宗祠时，雨也渐渐小了。大伙儿在平光宗亲的带领下，向麻甲余氏宗祠致上敬礼。之后，麻甲余氏宗祠的宗亲请大家到津津餐室吃了一顿丰盛的午餐，包括该餐室出名的生鱼米粉汤。

Dewan Keturunan Yee (Muar Yees) invited us to their 84th Anniversary celebration on Labour Day. It was a public holiday and we were eager to visit Muar.
Along the way, there was a heavy downpour. None-the-less, we continued our journey, shopping, had some fun at a mini "Jurassic Park".
At 7 pm, we went to attend the 84th Anniversary dinner hosted by Dewan Keturunan Yee. There was a big congregation of local members. There were lots of entertaining programs, good food and good company.
After the dinner party, we bid farewell to our cousin Yees and left Muar for Singapore. We reached home just after midnight with good memories of this trip.

讲座: 儒家思想与回教教义 2018年 4月 8日, 下午2点半
四月八日，文教组主办了2018年第一个讲座。邀请了耶亚华学士为我们讲解儒家思想与伊斯兰回教教义的相同之处。主持人是我们的总秘书长余平光宗先生。他与耶亚华是大学同窗兼好友，友谊长达五十一年。
耶亚华先生虽是马来族，但精通华语，是南大中文系的高材生。他在新加坡回教理事会服务了二十多年，对儒家思想和伊斯兰回教教义有着精辟的见解。此次也准备了资料来为我们解说。
他先从历史说起了儒家社会(中国)和伊斯兰马来社会，在很早的时候就已经建立了密切联系，也讲述了穆罕默德在1430年前鼓励穆斯林到中国取经和学习。后来在公元649年由穆罕默德的接班人Khalifah Othman派了一个友谊团到长安拜访唐太宗并加强了彼此的关系和生意往来。因此在公元1405年到1433年很多的穆斯林人定居在青海，甘肃，新疆等地方。郑和下了七次西洋又加强了儒家社会和Nusantara 社会/马来社会在经济商业等等的联系。

Mr Jaffar Kassim was invited to our Association to give a talk on "Confucian and Islamic Similarities". Jaffar studied at the former Nanyang University of Singapore, majoring in Chinese Cultures. We were told that he was the only non-Chinese student in his class.
His lecture was in Chinese. The audience was held spellbound as he highlighted similarities on Confucian and Islamic teachings. He discussed a bit on Zheng He (鄭和; 1371–1433 or 1435) was a Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat, fleet admiral, Muslim and court eunuch during China's early Ming dynasty.
Q & A session to finish off his talk. Many members asked Mr Kassim about Islamic teachings and his learned replies were convincing.

(Excerpt from Yee Fung Toy Global Report)
二○一八年三月十七日，二十七名位新加坡余氏總會成員於上午八點在港灣碼頭集合坐船到印尼巴淡島遊玩。 渡輪定于上午 9:40 離開新加坡海港。 50 分鐘到達海港灣，巴淡島距新加坡 25km (15miles)。
在巴淡島，我們被一位名叫羅賓的印尼當地華人迎接。 他帶領我們迅速通過了入境閘，迅速登上了一輛帶我們去名勝古跡的旅游巴士。
第一站是 70F Koffie 工廠。 它加工了所有等級的咖啡豆。我們在太平洋宮殿有印尼自助午餐。 自助餐不是最好的，但可以接受的。羅賓然後向我們展示了一個工廠的出口，維哈拉杜塔彌勒佛教寺廟。
第二日我們在酒店吃早餐，十一時退房後，我們參觀了一個濕市場和一些賣海味乾貨的專門店。 到了下午二時，正是我們向巴淡島告別的時候了，雖然只有兩天短短的旅程，但我們曾走訪的景點，讓我們留下了許多美好的回憶。

Sat 17th March, 27 participants assembled at Harbourfront Ferry Terminal by 8 am. The ferry was scheduled to leave Singapore harbour at 9:40 am. The ferry ride was smooth and it only took 50 min to reach Harbour Bay, Batam. It is 25km (15miles) from Singapore.
At Batam Terminal, we were greeted by a young local Chinese-Indonesian man named Robin. He led us expeditiously pass the Immigration gate and quickly boarded a coach which took us to places of interests.
First stop was a 70F Koffie Factory. It processed coffee beans of all grades. We had Indonesian buffet lunch at Pacific Palace. The buffet was not the best but acceptable. Robin then showed us a Factory Outlet, Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Buddhist Temple.
Checked into Planet Holiday Hotel where we freshened up and rested a bit before going for a seafood dinner. Nightspot was Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre and followed by a karaoke session after 11 pm.
Day 2 - We had breakfast in the Hotel and checked out at 11 am. Visited a wet market and some shops selling dried seafood. By 2 pm, it was time to say goodbye to Batam and to bring home fond memories of this wonderful place so near Singapore.

Date: 1 March – 31 March 2018
Time: 11am – 9pm
Closed on Public Holidays
"Through the lens of design, The Machinist documents the stories of a lathe artisan and his community in the auto and ship repair district of Jalan Besar, Singapore. Oral transcripts and architectural drawings lend a glimpse into their tales of labour and communal spirit. We learn how they come to dedicate their entire lives to mastering a skill, and question the meaning of craft in a rapidly changing urban context.
In Making of The Machinist, samples and notes from the research, print and binding processes take us into the printing press to understand how a book is made.
Referenced from:
The Machinist team comprises of designers Wendy Chua (Forest & Whale), Xin Xiaochang and Yuki Mitsuyasu (Yuki Mitsuyasu Jewellery).

2018 Chinese New Year Celebration
The Singapore Yees started 2018 with a new Board of Directors and now we celebrated the Chinese New Year. We had to move the buffet tables downstairs to make more space for a huge turnout of members and families.
Evidently, all members enjoyed the wonderful Celebration program hosted by our two talented emcees. Not forgetting our very energetic Youth Group leaders who made all this happened. Lunch started off with "Yu Sheng Lo Hei". Our President then gave away "ang pow" or red-packets to all members present.

余氏总会今年将迎来89岁的诞辰，这些年来，董事会进行了大刀阔斧的改革，修改了不合时宜的章程，解散了互助部，将互助部改组为福利组，并增设了文教组，加强在文化教育方面的工作。由于把互助部归入董事部，因此，董事会成员也由原来的25人增加到33人。
第71届董事会经过提名、投票、复选之后，各职位在2017年12月31日顺利选出，任期两年，直到2019年年底为止。新董事的宣誓就职典礼在1月28日隆重举行，邀请了会务顾问海年宗长担任监誓人。
当天下午两点，会所里热闹得很，董事们都盛装出席，拍摄全体照之后，典礼开始，新任会长进添在致词时强调余氏总会将走向集体领导、集思广益的道路，吁请董事们为总会做出贡献。接着是新旧职员的交接仪式，会长、财政、公关、康乐、妇女组、青年团各组领导换了新人，旧的董事分别将文件、支票等移交给新人，新董事也接下了任务。之后，全体董事举起右手，宣誓将遵守章程，大公无私，一心一德为余氏总会服务，为会员谋福利。所有董事在宣誓后一一上来，在监誓人的见证下，签下大名，接受任命。

71st Board of Directors Inauguration
On Jan 28th, 2018, the new 71st Board of Directors was sworn in. Portfolios were handed over from the out-going directors to the respective new directors. There were a total of 38 posts. The new directors then signed in to accept their appointments and responsibilities to the Association. Yee Whai Lin witnessed the signing-in ceremony.
This year, we had several firsts -a Grand Advisor, a lady Vice-President and several wives (of Yee members) as directors.
Whai Lin had previously expressed his desire to retire as President. So this paved the way for Eu Chin Tian to be elected as our new President.
Our continuing efforts of "Succession Planning", to scout and groom younger members into and to direct our Association, had significant progress. We saw 5 fresh and younger members elected to the Board.
Cheers to all!
