On behalf of MABIC, I would like to wish you a Happy new year, and hope 2005 will bring you much joy and success in everything you seek.

As you would have known by now, the tsunami tragedy that hit the northern parts of Malaysia, and much of our neighbours have wrecked havoc and created much difficulties for a great number of people. If you would like to forward a donation or volunteer specifically to help the victims of Bandar Aceh, we can provide you with details on how to do so. Our Indonesian counterpart, IndoBIC, is on the ground in Aceh assisting in their own capacity.

Thank you for your continuing support, and we hope you enjoy this edition of BICalert.

Sincerely,
Kelvin Keh
Executive Director
