"He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling him. My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another," said the Bible.*2 The following is another example of what we would like to do for related and concerned associations in publicity: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Tony, Thank you very much for your support of the Singapore Association of Nevada (a non-profit organization) during our launch year of 2003. It is with your support and encouragement that SAN has become a highly respected organization within the State of Nevada and the Republic of Singapore. When I founded SAN in 2003 it was with my strong passion and belief in the Republic of Singapore and the opportunity it provides for Singaporeans and can also provide for Nevadans (including businesses based in Nevada). SAN was formed in 2003 with the intent of creating a support mechanism for Singaporeans living in the State of Nevada (USA), providing support for Nevadans seeking to do business in Singapore (Southeast Asia), and to create government to government linkages between the Republic of Singapore and the State of Nevada. I am proud to state that we have accomplished everything that we set out to do in 2003. We now have a electronic automated database of over 920 people / organizations that have shown an interest in SAN's role and also have a growing number of paid SAN members. We have also have begun the process of having regular SAN member meetings. Remember, SAN is as much of a business networking organization as it is a social support organization; for both Nevadans and Singaporeans. I encourage you to become a paid member of SAN and to always review www.singaporenevada.com for updates. I would also ask that you update your information with SAN for 2004. You will notice in the extreme lower left corner of this e-mail a link that says 'UPDATE YOUR PROFILE', please click on that link and provide SAN with your updated contact 2004 information. I sincerely wish you a very happy and safe holiday season; we look forward to your support of SAN in 2004.

United We Stand Separated We Perish By Cheryl Moss and Tiffany Chang Since the following article had been published by the "Newsbrief of WBTI", "Nevada Examiner", "Highlights of Seniors United", among others; the whole environment has been much improved for the Asian community. It is still valuable to print the feature article again for the advancement and prosperity of our community and country: --------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the status of our Asian community in U. S.? There is no problem that we have had many outstanding individuals who are very successful in each area of professions. For the view point on the whole body, the Asian community is probably backward a distance away from other racial communities. In the federal government, the cabinet of President between 1997 and 1998 had only two Asians in the main and secondary levels among the 250 people. They were only in the lowest level. Among the 845 judges only 7 of them were from Asia.*1 In colleges which has been famed as "big capital of idealists," normally, the administrators are promoted from the people who are colleagues working for the higher education. From the analysis on the basis of races, a comparison of the rate between the administrators and colleagues will show the opportunity to climb up in the adminitrative ladder of each race. The black people's rate was .21, that means there were 21 administrative personnel among the 100. Indians was .20; white people was .36; Hispanics was .15; but Asians was .06. Obviously, the bad situation was for Asians.*2 In private business, there was only one highest executive of Asian among the so called "500 Enterprises." We can find that there are highest executives who are Asian most only in those business founded by themselves. From the above statistical data, we were acknowledged that the Asian community owns 3.5% of American population has less than 1.0% people on the decision level in the government or private business. In another word, there is much less than 1/3 opportunity to be promoted to the decision level for the Asian people by comparable to other races. This is a serious problem that we should take care of.*3 It is worth for us to unite and struggle once when we know our Asian status and situation. Lots of other racial people got promoted more fastly than Asians in the public and private sectors. This is another reason that we Asian community should more be united for the best guarantee to climb up in the higher ladder. We Asian are mostly good by nature, but we have never competed against any other race without on the basis of knowledge and talent. We follow the founded spirit of U. S. as a country. Here everybody has an equal opportunity for development of his or her own business in spite of the discrimination of classes, religons, sex, and races. What we should ask for is to set up on the basis of equal opportunity by virtue of humane, reasonable, and legal. How can we attain this purpose? The best policy is to unite each other with good work performance, reasonable human relations, and better American education. In the recent ten years, Asian communities have contributed significant result to the winning of elected important officials in Nevada. Asian Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by American mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that the Asian communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References *1.

In order to advance the proclamation and creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), it has also launched and participated a series of event and dinner parties for a special tribute to the people who contribute to the peomotion of the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada. WBTI emphasizes the encouragement and promotion of academic research, community service, and humane spirit since its establishment in January 8, 1996. Feature articles had published by "Nevada Examiner", "Seniors United Highlights Maganzine", among others for many times to unite all the Asian American communities for the event and party to pay a special tribute to Harry Reid as U. S. Senator and Majority Whip of the Senate. In perspective, we need to follow the above two examples of the united forces of all our Asian Americans to win the recognition by the Mainstream of our efforts and wisdom for our community involvement in Nevada. Viewing the following record, it is encouraged that we all the Asian Americans did build our "Great Wall" in this Silver State for community involvement: ----------------------------------------------------- | |
