Dear Esteemed Members of IADR Malaysian Section, friends and colleagues,
Firstly, as the newly elected President of IADR MalSec for 2022-2024, I would like to thank all of you for entrusting me with the responsibility to lead IADR MalSec for the next two years.
My heartiest gratitude to IADR Malaysian Section immediate past-president Assoc Prof Dr Siti Mariam Ab Ghani and the Executive Committee 2020-2022 for their outstanding leadership, commitment and dedication in carrying out the mandate and responsibilities of the association.
Among our most awaited activities is the annual Scientific Meeting. We have successfully continued to conduct the planned programmes in 2021 and 2022 even with the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the scientific meetings, we have consistently strived to create a conducive environment for the exchange of ideas, cutting-edge research findings, and networking opportunities among dental professionals, academicians, researchers, and students. In the upcoming two years, we have lined up the usual Scientific meetings with exciting talks from leading experts in the dental fraternity.
On behalf of IADR Malaysian Section, I thank each of our members and look forward to more events to promote and support research that advances oral health. I would like to invite members to offer their suggestions and comments on improving our activities. Please drop a line at our email: iadrmalsec@gmail.com. Let us work together to make IADR Malaysian Section more inclusive and relevant to all!
Warmest Regards,
