Attended the "Seminar for Local Administration" at the Empire Hotel and Country Club on Tuesday 13/11 as a representative of my association, jointly organised by the Japanese Embassy, the Japan Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR) Singapore and Ministry of Home Affairs. Members of the seminar also included government officials from Community Development, Ministry of Youth, Culture and Sports and Health Services Dept, Ministry of Health with Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Dato Paduka Awang Hj Dani bin Hj Ibrahim as the Guest of Honour.
