Dear Esteemed Members of the IADR Malaysian Section, Friends, and Colleagues,

It is with great honour and deep gratitude that I begin my term as the newly elected President of the IADR Malaysian Section for 2024-2026. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each of you for placing your trust in me to lead our vibrant community over the next two years. I am truly excited to work alongside such a dedicated group of dental professionals and researchers who share a common vision for advancing oral health and dental science.

First, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to our immediate past president, Dr Jasmina Qamaruz Zaman, and the entire Executive Committee for their outstanding leadership and tireless efforts. Their dedication has helped strengthen the foundation of our association, and I am grateful for the legacy they leave behind.

As we look to the future, I am excited to continue the tradition of excellence that our section is known for. One of our most anticipated activities is the annual Scientific Meeting, where we bring together experts from across the dental field to share knowledge, present groundbreaking research, and foster collaboration. In the coming term, we will continue to build on the success of past meetings, ensuring that they remain dynamic and impactful for all involved.

Through these events and other initiatives, our goal is to create an environment that promotes the exchange of ideas, fosters innovation, and provides valuable opportunities for professional growth. I look forward to welcoming renowned speakers and thought leaders to our community and facilitating meaningful discussions that will help shape the future of dental research and practice.

I am deeply grateful for the support and commitment of all our members, and I am excited for what we can achieve together in the coming years. Let’s continue working hand-in-hand to advance research, promote oral health, and build stronger networks within our profession.

Thank you once again for your trust. I look forward to an inspiring and successful term ahead.
