Welcome from GB Malaysia President


From the National President

GIRLS’ BRIGADE MALAYSIA

Capt. Tnay Yong Hua

It is my great pleasure to extend my warmest welcome to all of you to Kuching, Malaysia for the 10th Conference of The Girls’ Brigade International Council.

GB Malaysia is privileged to host this Conference for key leaders from 26 countries with 250 delegates of different nationalities and cultures. GB first came to Asia in 1927 with the founding of the 1st Singapore Company and her wings spread to the shore of Penang, Malaysia with the formation of the 1st Penang Company in 1938.

It spread to East Malaysia (Sarawak and Sabah) with its first company, that is 1st Kuching in Sarawak in 1967. GB has been in existence in Malaysia for 72 years. Currently, we have a membership of 5475 girls and officers in 65 companies.

The purpose of this Conference is to review the work done in different countries, to map the future direction for the growth of the organization in the world. It will discuss and address the common challenges faced by girls around the world and consider how to develop them with Christian values and leadership skills so that they can become responsible and useful women contributing to the community, nation and the world.

May God bless our time together and may we uphold one another in prayer. Let us look to Jesus Christ as our Captain, to know Him and make Him known to others.
