Dear Friends & Colleagues,

Thanks for the messages of support from all over the world. We in Malaysia
suffered the back lash of the Tsunami in the island of Penang.  Though our
sufferings and losses are not as great as our neighbouring countries esp
in Aceh, there are amongst us, locals and foreigners alike, still
searching and pining for loved & dear ones.

Let us all in the event of this monstrous disaster not only join hands in
thoughts and  prayers but take a pro-active action plan in the rescue of
cultural heritage and mankind.

Thank you. I remain,

Janet Tee Siew Mooi
