When MW Jumbo Yu stepped down as Grand Master in 1998, I was next in line to go to the Grand East. However, I was working for Bayer as General Manager of the Dyestuff Department, and could not devote myself fully to perform the duties as Grand Master due to intensive business and frequent travel. MW Tommu Weng felt for my inconvenience and resolutely assumed the Grand Master again to solve my predicament. With full appreciation, I could only make a humble donation to express my apology for the inconvenience caused to the Grand Lodge.
I have always believed that the office of Grand Master is a very noble position that requires full devotion in addition to talents and characters to perform a good job. I am by nature easygoing and unambitious. After retirement, I devoted myself solely to improving Tang Lodge and have not participated actively in business related to the Grand Lodge. However, I am deeply moved by many brethren for their enthusiasm to reform and improve our Grand Lodge of China. I, therefore, changed my original thought and decided to participate in the election of the Grand Master. Certainly, this also means that I will do my best after being elected. .
First of all, I will form a strong team with the elective and appointive grand officers to attend to the business of Grand Lodge.
Secondly, I hope that each lodge will also make every effort in strengthening themselves and become a strong support to the Grand Lodge. It is hoped that masters of each lodge will actively participate in issues related to the Grand Lodge through the Board of Directors and Supervisors, so we can gather all great minds to make the best decisions for our craft.
After all, it should be the desire of all brethren to see a well-developed Grand Lodge of China. Today, I am trying my best to move forward, and hope that the brethren will join me so that we can build a better and stronger Grand Lodge of China together!
