Club President replies to comments made about CompClub
By CommsDir | September 30, 2008
Greetings shadowandy and Friends,
I am Lee Chee Full (aka Chef), the President of NUS Students’ Computing Club 11th Management Committee. A concerned friend of mine dropped me this link ‘reviewing the performance’ of CompClub. While I am not surprised by some of the replies, I am disheartened to read that efforts of countless seniors are being summarised as “magnificent”.
I would like to apologise to each and every one of you with regards to the way you have been affected by CompClub. If I could, I would like to meet you (and friends) in person to address some of the unhappiness that has been caused.
