The Theravada Buddhist Council of Malaysia (TBCM) Executive Committee met at Nalanda Centre yesterday for a special workshop to chart the Council’s future strategic direction in the immediate to medium-term.  Chairing the 10 am to 5 pm workshop was TBCM President Bro. Chim Siew Choon.  It was attended by the Council’s Deputy President Bro. Kung Kok Chye, Honorary Secretary Bro. Ananda Fong, Honorary Treasurer Bro. Teoh Tiang Kwang, and Councillors Bro. K Don Premaseri, Sis. Paruadi Ramasamy, Bro. Lim Boon Hang, and Sis. Liang Mei Ling.

TBCM’s Monastic Advisor Ayasma Dhammavuddho Mahathero was also invited to attend the workshop.  All Councillors participated actively in the day-long discussion with much enthusiasm and camaraderie.  The productive and fruitful workshop ended with everyone in high-spirits, as Councillors are now united by a common vision for the future of Malaysian Theravada community.  As Ven. Dhammavuddho happily concluded in his closing remarks, “We have a Dream“!

Nalanda wishes to record our appreciation to TBCM Councillors for your hard work in charting a better future for our community.  Let us all share in this “Dream”, and work together diligently to realise it.
