In a business environment conflicted by a global pandemic, this will help us fortify our contribution to the government, local businesses as well as the broader community.

His leadership towards the association was steady, assured, and pragmatic and his clear vision helped the Association navigate the deeply challenging world environment driven by the COVID-19' pandemic. His knowledge and experience played a pivotal role in this regard, and I offer my deep gratitude for his wonderful service and hard work rendered towards CDASL together with the outgoing Executive committee.
