Acknowledgements
The pandemic had transformed the world and changed the course we used to travel. The past year could have been the worst of times given the challenges we had gone through. Yet it brought out the very best of us as the people put aside their differences and helped each other. The isolation and social distancing had, on the contrary, brought us closer together. It was indeed the best of times for the society with the bringing back of inclusiveness and harmony.
In closing, I want to take a moment to acknowledge and thank our stakeholders for helping us weather the storm and cope with the new normal. I would also like to express my gratitude to the members of our Supervisory Board, Executive Committee, and other Committees for bringing their experience and expertise to the Housing Society. My heartfelt thanks also go to the Management, in particular James, our CEO, for guiding the organisation through unprecedented crises. I also wish to express my most sincere gratitude to each of you at the Housing Society, in particular those working at the forefront, for setting an excellent example of professionalism, dedication and commitment. With such a wonderful team, I believe the best is yet to come for the Housing Society.

在此，我衷心向持份者致謝，感謝他們協助 我們度過難關，應對新常態。我亦藉此機會 向監事會、執行委員會及其他委員會委員致 以由衷謝意，感謝他們為房協帶來的經驗及 專業意見。另外，我亦十分感激管理層同 仁，尤其是行政總裁陳欽勉先生，帶領房協 跨越了前所未見的危機。最後，我深深感謝 每位並肩同行的房協員工尤其是前線員工， 以專業、敬業的態度全力以赴。有賴團隊各 司其職，我深信房協往後能夠創造更多佳績。
