New Friends of SCS Website is Up

Many thanks to the management of Singapore Computer Systems. They have kindly provided the resources to revamp the SCS Alumni website at Friends of SCS.

Hope you like it. Only members can access the website information and post news, events, jobs and business listing. If you have worked for SCS for more than 2 years formerly, you can join the "Friends of SCS" society.

Notice to Members

Dear Friends

I have two important announcements to make.

Firstly, we need flesh blood, fresh minds, fresh leadership and flesh ideas for our Alumni!! We are urging you to step forward to volunteer yourself as our Committee Members / Office bearers.

Just so you know, the current Office Bearers would like to relinquish their positions in the Committee. They are:

Henry Lim - President
Chong Kum Kee - Vice President
Chow Yew Tee - Treasurer
Jeannie Ong - Secretary
Francis Cheang and Tan Hock Hai - Committee Members.

According to the Constitution of our Alumni: "All office bearers, except the Treasurer may be re-elected to the same or related post for a consecutive term of office. The term of office of the Committee is two years."

Henry, Kum Kee, Francis, Hock Hai, Yew Tee and Jeannie have been committee members for a tenure of 3 terms or 6 years. It is high time to inject new blood into the Alumni. Existing Office Bearers such as Lim Liat, Ng Tong Sing and Robert Koh will remain in office since they were only appointed in 2005.

So, please come forward and be counted. If you think that you can value add to the Alumni and you wish to leverage on its networking, please let me know. If you have good suggestion on who we should approach to be appointed as committee members, to bring us to the next level, please let me know too, and quickly!

Secondly, this is a heads-up that we will be organising our AGM on Thursday, 28 Feb @ SCS Auditorium @ around 6pm. This will be the last AGM chaired by the current Office Bearers. More details will be given later.

Lastly, I would just like to remind all that we have created a website and a blog for our Alumni, so please visit them at:

I have also appended below the Constitution for the Objective of the Alumni, as well as the appointment of the Management & Committee for our Alumni, in case you need to refer to it.
