Other VIP guests are the former member of parliament and Honorary Advisor of Singapore Xiangqi General Association – Mr Chan Soo Sen (Fig 2, right) and the Permanent Honorary President – Mr Charles Oon. The banquet dinner was filled with people from different walks of life and it was such a lively night! The President – Mr Lin Guanhao (Fig 5) and the Vice President – Mr Ou Mushun (Fig 6) of Singapore Xiangqi General Association hosted the event wonderfully.
Mr Charles Oon, the Permanent Honorary President of Singapore Xiangqi General Association managed to bid for a fine calligraphy piece “Tiandao Reward” written by the President of Singapore Xiangqi General Association, Mr Lin Guanhao, showing his support towards Mr Lin’s future developments. We love to spread the joy with everyone through Wuliangye! We all wish Singapore Xiangqi General Association a Happy 85th Anniversary. Chinese chess and China baijiu are both important elements of Chinese culture. Let’s look forward and continue to promote the Chinese culture in Singapore!
