Grassroots with passion

MESSAGE FROM Finance Committee Chairman Dear Members,

This is my first term as the Treasurer cum Chairman of the Finance Committee (FC). I am very honoured to be able to serve in this capacity.

We are now not only as a Club but as a whole nation facing an unprecedented economic shock due to the Covid-19 outbreak, which has been described as the most serious crisis that our nation has faced. As such, I will practise utmost prudence and conservatism in overseeing our financial management, cash flow management and in our finance matters especially in terms of budgeting and spending. I will also keep an active oversight in our investment matters to ensure the best interests of TGC in this difficult period. The FC is formed to assist our Management Committee (MC) in ensuring appropriate control measures are adopted to safeguard TGC assets from any potential risk exposure and losses. Thus, your interests as a member are also well secured and protected. We assist the MC in effectively discharging their financial responsibilities. In addition, we also continuously seek to improve TGC’s policies, procedures and guidelines to ensure they are consistently complied with by all management levels from various operating units and all other TGC sub-Committees. Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to all my fellowFCmembers for their fullest co-operation, dedication and assistance rendered.

Mr Abel Tan Joo Meng Honorary Treasurer of Management Committee, The Grassroots’ Club
