9. SOLDER SUB-COMMITTEE
The Sub-Committee on Solder, formed in 1993, comprise major solder companies as its members. With Mr. Lim Cheng Sang, a Past-President, as its Convenor, the Sub-Committee was again active during the year under review.
The Sub-Committee provides solder company members of the Association a platform for discussion on matters of common and mutual interests. The meetings of the Sub-Committee have benefited its members as they are provided with the opportunity to share experiences and expectations of the market for their solder products and prices, trends in metal prices and the market, as well as deliberate on issues and impediments facing the sub-sector.
During 2013, the Sub-Committee on Solder met a total of four times. A major subject matter which the Sub-Committee continued to deliberate last year concerns the market outlook for solder products, locally and internationally. Other matters discussed during the year include the prevailing electrical and electronic (E&E) sector’s demand for solder, R&D on solder, development in tin technologies, minimum wage and the imminent implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2015. 10.

This was to enhance its readership value to members and the public, and as an additional source of income for the Association. The Newsletter Editorial Sub-Committee, formed to oversee the production of the Newsletter, met four times during the year. It provided suitable guidance to the Secretariat in the compilation of the publication and the formulation of strategies for strengthening support of the Newsletter. 12. OTHER ACTIVITIES
