On behalf of the Irish Brethren in South East Asia, I have the privilege to extend congratulations and Fraternal Greetings to. Rt. Wor. Brother Chandranath Mohan Wanigatunga on his installation as Rt. Wor. Provincial Grand Master. This installation on the occasion of your Tenth Anniversary as a Province is indeed one of achievement, joy and celebration, we heartily wish Rt. Wor. Brother Wanigatunga and his officers every success in office.

The fraternal ties between our two Provincial Grand Lodges go back to the Constitution of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Sri Lanka and the Installation of Rt. Wor. Brother Ramalingam Harindran by our then Grand Inspector of SEA, Rt. Wor. Brother Lau Kee Siong.

This was reciprocated in 2010 when Rt. Wor. Brother Harendran, very ably, represented the Most Worshipful Grand Master in the ceremonies of Constituting the Provincial Grand Lodge of SEA and Installing Rt. Wor. Brother Lau Kee Siong.

This message will not be complete without paying tribute to Rt. Wor. Brother Harindran for all his achievements as Provincial Grand Master and his unstinting service to his Provincial Grand Lodge. May we wish him a happy retirement with the following quote from the famous solder and Freemason, general Douglas Mac Arthur;

“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my career and just fade away, an old solder who tried to do his duty as god gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye”

Rt. Wor. Brother Thong Kean Sing Thong,
Provincial Grand Master,
Provincial Grand Lodge of South East Asia.
