World Yee Chairman Eddie Yee Visited Singapore   We were honoured by the
visit of Mr Eddie Yee, Chairman of World
Yee Family Association together with his
beautiful wife Carina, Mr. Yu Jiang
Qiang (Kaiping) and Mr. Lee Tat Man
(HK). Whai Lin, Siew Eng and
I were very anxious to welcome them at
the Changi International Airport. They
stayed at Dorsett Hotel which was less
than 5 minutes walk to our Association
and Dorsett was a very convenient
location. We walked our visitors to our
Association where a large number of
members were already waiting. Our members were so
eager and happy to meet up with them.
Whai Lin introduced all our VIP
visitors. Eddie, Jiang Qiang and Tat Man
took turns to share their experiences
with us. Soft spoken Eddie gave us good
insights into his vast clan experiences
and knowledge. We had a good dinner at
Ban Heng Harbourfront Restaurant. May 15th morning, we
took them to tour the Gardens-by-the-Bay
and Marina Barrage. Lunch at nearby
Satay Stand to try our local flavours.
Tat Man was an avid photographer. He
went out alone to take some night shots,
armed with a Nikon D800 and a carbon
tripod. May 16th morning, Mr.
Yee Sui See, Vice Chairman of the World
Yee Family Association, arrived at the
Hotel to fetched them to visit Malaysia.
We all bid bon voyage to our cousin
friends, safe travel and happy holidays.
Hope to cross paths
again at the 7th World Yee Convention. More photographs may be

Association held a family fun day and
barbecue event on 28th May 2017. The BBQ started around
11 am and already many members of the
Association had arrived. Zhangqi and his
brothers were busy setting up, grilling
and serving food. Kudos to them for
organizing, purchasing, preparing and
all the logistics for this occasion.
Very efficient, excellent job! The weather was
fabulous. It was a great day to mingle
around with the members and to enjoy the
sea breeze. Some photos courtesy of

Singapore Yee Clan Malacca 2D 1N Tour      Our Youth Group
organized this short tour to nearby 2
hours drive to Malacca. Thanks to the
capable leadership of this Group. The
Agenda for this tour was local food -
appealing to the 36 foodies who would
venture far for exotic tastes. Arriving at Malacca, we
saw new developments at the sea front.
Since Malacca did not have natural deep
water harbour, plots of shoreline were
reclaimed to create deeper waters. By nightfall, we had a
relaxing stroll at Jonker Walk to see
its night market. Next day, the tour
guide took us to a shop for an ultra
large bowl of "ice kachang" (Ais kacang,
literally meaning "bean ice", also
commonly known as ABC, is a Malaysian
dessert which is also common in
Singapore and Brunei.) - the finale of
this tour! 36 of us could not finish
this bowl of ice shavings. More photographs may be
viewed at Flickr.
