Tan Sri Chor thanking fellow golfers, donors and sponsors for their support

Tan Sri Chor, in his speech, said, “This Charity Golf Meet is indeed meaningful as it brings together diverse groups of people who value acts of charity above everything else which would, at the end of the day, benefit our multiracial community especially the less fortunate; such as the citizens in the B40 group. The noble ultimate intention of UTAR Education Foundation is to build a fully pledged hospital to further train medical graduates and also to provide very affordable medical care to Malaysians.”

He then moved on to thank all the parties who had contributed to this meaningful cause, “I must not forget to thank our good friend, Dato’ Sri Ir Yap Chong Lee, who, through his Sungai Long Golf and Country Club, sponsored not only the golf course for the golf play; but also, the breakfast and lunch for the golfers and VIPs. This sponsorship has provided the focal point for golfers to gather and play a good game. Thanks to UTAR President Ir Prof Dato’ Dr Ewe Hong Tat and the staff of UTAR who are part of this organising committee. They have given much assistance and support to help coordinate and bring everything together for a smooth event. Most importantly, thank you fellow golfers, donors and sponsors who came forward with a genuine sense of charity, and who truly deserve our acknowledgement and sincere thanks.”
