Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the FMAS,

As I stand before you today, emotions run deep within me, for this marks a moment of transition and reflection. Serving as your President for the past 10 years and 4 years before that as the Deputy President has been an incredible journey, filled with milestones that have shaped the FMAS into the esteemed organization it is today.

From the ACI World Congress in 2013 to steering the ship through the challenges of 2023, I am grateful for the opportunities to contribute to our association for the industry. The creation of the Asia Financial Markets Forum in 2021 stands as a testament to our commitment to progress, as does the Charity Golf event, now in its 31st year, where we have collectively raised an astounding $8.5 million in the last 14 years and a total of $14.3 million over the last 30 years.

The 50th Golden Jubilee anniversary gala dinner in 2022 was a Milestone for FMAS and a celebration of our shared dedication, highlighting the role the FMAS plays in waving the flag for our industry and Singapore. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the unwavering support of my EXCO members and every dedicated supporter of this association.

I extend my deepest gratitude to the FMAS secretariat for their tireless efforts in raising our benchmark over the years. Your commitment has been the backbone of our success.

Now, as I step down from the presidency, it is with great pride and confidence that I pass the reins to Mr Jacky Tai. Jacky, your dedication and passion for our mission are evident, and I have full faith in your ability to lead the FMAS to even greater heights.

In closing, thank you all for the privilege of serving as your president. The journey has been extraordinary, and I am excited to witness the continued success of the FMAS under Jacky’s leadership. Together, we have not just shaped an association but contributed significantly to our industry and community.

Thank you.

Andrew Ng
President
