MoE/CfBT Annual Conference in Malacca

Well it finally came to pass that THE conference actually took place! After the July date was postponed in late June there were some who wondered if it ever would happen. It did, and I think I can safely say that it was a success. So thank you to all who participated: ELCs, PETs, Ministry representatives from CDC, Language Officers from state and district offices, guest speakers, and the hardworking staff from the CfBT office who came and helped out or who stayed behind to keep the ship afloat.
I have uploaded two photo albums, appropriately named Malacca Day 1 & 2, the first of which shows what went on when we were supposed to be getting ready for our photo on the first morning and the subsequent tea break. The second shows the ELCs' group discussions and presentations and some more morning tea shots. There were lots of little meetings going on all around the hall. Thanks to Becky Stannard for taking the time to 'spy' on you all!
Unfortunately, I can't put Powerpoint presentations directly on the Blog, but have converted three of them to photos which you can download to read the content. If you want the actual presentations I can e-mail them to you on request.
Once again, thanks to all who took the time to come to Melaka, and when we hear the outcome(s) of the meeting that Dr Haili talked about, rest assured we will let everybody know.
