女士们、先生们,

大家好。首先,让我祝贺新加坡张氏总会成立85周年。我也祝贺清河张氏公会成立67周年。

多年来，张氏总会为了新加坡的发展做出了重要贡献。总会也和其他种族和宗教团体，共同建设一个团结的社会。

我们在过去几年面临了许多挑战。感谢所有新加坡人的耐心、谅解与合作，我们终于稳定了疫情。政府通过多个预算案和援助配套，帮助我们的家庭和国人应对挑战。我们帮助企业恢复日常运作，以及为未来打好基础。我们也为工友加强了津贴与培训机会。我很高兴张氏总会也做出了很多贡献，帮助会员与新加坡人应对疫情。

今天，各角落的张氏聚集在一起。大家来自不同的领域、行业，有着不同的人生经验。我希望世界各地的张氏能继续在各个领域发挥所长，为全球的发展、和平与稳定作出重要贡献。

我也非常高兴看到青年团这么有活力，也希望他们继续为张氏总会的未来作出贡献。最后我祝大家身体健康、万事如意。

谢谢。

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good evening. First, I would like to convey my congratulations to the Singapore Chang Clan General Association on your 85th anniversary. I also congratulate the Chin Ho Teo Clan Association on your 67th anniversary.

Over the years, the Chang Clan General Association has made important contributions to Singapore’s development. The association has also worked together with other ethnic and religious organisations to build a united society.

We have faced many challenges over the past few years. But thanks to the patience, understanding and cooperation of all Singaporeans, we have managed to stabilise the pandemic situation. Through several Budgets and support packages, the government supported our families and our people to deal with the challenges. The measures helped our companies to resume operations, and establish good foundations for the future. The government has also increased subsidies and training opportunities for our workers. I am happy that the Chang Clan General Association has also made many contributions to help your members and fellow Singaporeans to deal with the pandemic.

Today, members of the Chang Clan are gathered here. Each of us comes from different fields and professions, with different life experiences. I hope that members of the Chang Clan from around the world will continue to excel in your respective fields, and make important contributions to the world’s development, peace and stability.

I am also happy to see the energy and enthusiasm of the Youth Chapter and I hope they will continue to contribute to the future of Chang Clan. I wish everyone good health and all the very best.

Thank you.
