My dear friends,
It gives me great pleasure to invite and welcome you to Kuching, Sarawak for the 14th ASEAN ORL Head and Neck Congress. This will be the third time Malaysia is hosting the largest bi-annual meeting of ORL Head and Neck Surgeons. While the previous two were in and around Kuala Lumpur, this time it is in the island of Borneo. Kuching will be the perfect place for you to experience the hospitality and uniqueness of the warm culture of the people of Borneo. Come and see the cultural traditions, dances and the iconic longhouses of the various tribes of Sarawak. Get up close to an Orang-utan and the Hornbill; I assure you that this will be an experience of a lifetime.

Before I get carried away, we have lined up several world renowned speakers that will make your attendance worthwhile. The full list is now being finalised and please watch out for further announcements. We are also not short of ASEAN speakers and they will add local flavour to the conference.

The site of the conference is also something to behold. The new Borneo Convention Centre is world-class. I believe this is the very first time the 14th ASEAN ORL Head & Neck Congress is to be held at such a venue. All previous conferences were held at hotels. We have been assured that this venue will ensure that the programme will run as smoothly as possible.

Finally, to all participants, we say "Selamat Datang" or Welcome to our 14th ASEAN ORL Head & Neck Congress. It is you who will finally determine and make this meeting a great success.
