PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Members, Partners and Friends,
I am deeply honored and humbled to have been elected one again as the President of SMCTA for the 2024-2026 term. Your trust and confidence in my leadership are truly appreciated, and I am committed in continuing our shared journey of growth and progress.
Our growth and development is only possible through the sacrifice and contributions from our Exco members. Their tireless efforts, valuable contributions, and steadfast commitment have been instrumental in driving the association forward. The passion and hard work done by the Exco behind the scenes are the foundation upon which our achievements stand.
​
I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our members. Your support and active participation in the association’s events and initiatives have been critical for our success. It is through your participation and inputs that we have been able to promote the interests of the motorcycle trade and also foster strong relationships within our industry.
In the past 2 terms, we have been involved in the development or review of several important standards, including but not limited to, TR25:2022, SS662, SS9, TR25:2022 review (on-going), and IES EV Technician Technical Skills Competency. SMCTA successfully ran the inaugural Safe Riding Experience (SRE) in 2023, held together with NBW at Downtown East's D'Marquee. SRE was created to improve road safety awareness and provide young children with a safe motorcycling experience. The overwhelming response led to the heavily subsidised tickets selling out within 24 hours of launch. We have increased the number of slots for participants in 2024 and had a stellar increased participation rate of over 70%.
​We have also migrated our membership and accounting facilities to an online platform, Eber, to improve efficiency, reduce physical paperwork, and enhance member engagement.
​
Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Initiatives
As we look to the future, I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we will continue to champion the interests of our members, advocate for industry advancements, and organize events that bring value to all. We will ensure that the SMCTA remains a pillar of strength and unity and continue bridging industry and government.
​
Some teasers of what's to come:

in 2025
Improving Road Safety for Motorcyclists
TR25:2022 Review

Thank you once again for your trust, support, and participation in SMCTA and I look forward to working closely with all of you in the coming term to achieve even greater success.
​
It has been a very engaging and rewarding journey with an amazing team, and we have an even stronger team this term! I look forward to working with the 29th Term Exco and seek the continued support from our members for the association's events and activities.
