Outgoing president Allen Dodgson Tan, who has served the maximum two terms, thanked AmCham for its support in heartfelt remarks in which he proudly declared the association to be in its strongest ever position. “As an organisation, there is now doubt that the AmCham I stand before today is the best I have ever seen – engaged, diversified and inclusive. I would like to thank all of our members and partners for your support over the past two years. It has been a deep honour to have been entrusted with our organisation,” Tan said. Photos by Joe Curtin
