Citation

On 27th December, we managed to catch up with the ‘last’ recipient of our Citation Award, Mr. Brian Morrison, who was absent during our 127th AGM held on 17th December 2021.

.

Nevertheless, the President was persistent to personally present the award himself to this huge but kind hearted English gentleman.

.

Thanks to his ever generous wife, Nyana (who is also a Citation Award winner), she too had made an effort to serve us a lovely ‘English theme’ Hi-Tea at their cozy camelot.

.

Brian who hails from Wallsend, UK, became our Club member in the year 2001, after completing his contract in a Power Station in Saudi Arabia. He was a former Marine Engineer and spent 25 years at sea. He had since retired and resided in Taiping with his wife.

.

Mr. Morrison spent no less time involving himself in our Club’s swimming activities and holds the position of Vice Chairman in the Section’s Sub-Committee team for almost 20 years.

.

His contributions and advise in setting up value-added Jacuzzi facility at the pool area, the installation of starter’s blocks for our young swimmers to improve their swimming skills when competing at higher levels and making priorities that the Club continued to organized Swimming Gala each year.

.

Other than being active in swimming activities, Mr. Morrison was also a regular face attending and supporting almost all Club functions and events held over the years. Nevertheless, he was the most sought after ‘Mr. Santa Claus’ by the children each year during the Christmas Children parties for the past 10 years.

.

This Citation couldn’t have come on a much better time for Brian as a Christmas gift from the Club. Here’s wishing this lovely couple a Jolly Great Christmas and many more Wonderful New Years ahead of them!!!!
