It's the last minute again for me to get all the stuff ready for the upcoming PAMS event next week Saturday. With a couple of comm members falling sick, it's a "limited arms and legs and limitless tasks to accomplished" situation between the remaining three. The event which is usually organised early in conjunction with Eids has been postponed till now due to the summer holiday and unavailability of a comm member. So far there are ca 100 people + 20 or so kids which we expect to see joining. Many have ordered the takeaway rendang which is offered for the first time ever and ... the responses have been fantastic.
PAMS that stands for Persatuan Anak-anak Melayu Switzerland (Society of Malay Descendants Switzerland) was founded in the 80s by a Malay group from Malaysia. Later in the 90s fellow Malays from Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and even Sri Lanka (I never knew there were Malays there) started to also join. Each get together at the time brought some 40 or 50 guests. These days we sometimes reach up to 150/180 people coming from all background Malay and not.
For those joining us this Saturday, I look forward to seeing you there. Let's hope for a great weather ... so far it looks promising.
