Jeffrey has been working in China for over 15 years, of which about 5 years were in Shanghai. The theme of the gathering was "Sustainability of the Nanyang family through networking"

There were 16 Nantah personnel who were mainly Science and Humanities graduates, and a complement of 4 Nanyang CEE Alumni members who joined the group to learn from, and interact with, experienced Nantah entrepreneurs and technocrats.

The lively gathering was preceded by an expression of warm welcome and a short introductory talk by Mr Jeffrey Lau.

Stories and jokes abound whenever there is a fusion of "old" and "new" members of the Nanyang family.  In addition, all the local favourites of South East Asian cuisine made the occasion even more memorable.

The menu included satay, prawn samosa, Hainanese chicken, bakuteh, roasted silver pomfret, curry lamb, roti prata, fresh clams with garlic and chilli sauce, beef rending, belachan kang kong, nasi goreng nanas, red bean with shaved ice, gado-gado and free flow of soft drinks and beer. One would think that they were in Singapore!

The next gathering promises more surprises and the date will be announced soon. Further details can be obtained from A/Prof. Lok Tat Seng (Sub-Dean, CEE Alumni Relations) or from Mr Lim Boon Kok .
