The recurrence of the pandemic created many uncertainties, which once again prevented the Ang Shee General Association from holding any celebratory banquets in 2021. The ceremony to give out bursaries award to the children of our members, usually held at the celebratory banquet, was instead held on the association premises to ensure safety. The 52nd (2020/2021 school year) bursary award presentation ceremony, held on December 11, 2021, was hosted by Ah Chye of General Affairs, and the Chairman, Lian Kwang. The scholarship advisor, Chun Giap PBM and Committee Advisor, Er Qian, gave out the bursary award. Chairman Lian Kwang gave a speech during the award ceremony, expressing his hopes that the award winners would come back after they step into the working world and serve the association in its activities. He also thanked the clan members who sponsored the bursaries award for their enthusiasm in education and benefitting the clan.

Even though this year’s bursary award ceremony didn’t have a large turnout, there was much jubilation, because among the students receiving the awards, there was the rare situation in which two brothers received bursaries award in the university category. They were Hao Yuan and Hao Duan.

Later, the chairman bade farewell to the clan members, not forgetting to offer his blessings. He wished the clan members good health, happiness, and good fortune.
