The partnership between the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society (SEAGS) and the Asian Institute of Technology dates back to 1967. Both SEAGS and the Geotechnical Program at AIT was the brain child of Dr. Za Chieh Moh with the help of a large number of individuals and organizations contributing in the developments. As we are coming to the end of 2012, it is good to look back on the positive side of this partnership. I was fortunate to have worked with a large number of Distinguished Presidents of SEAGS.
The General Committee of SEAGS in 1987 and those played a key role in the development of SEAGS are presented below.

It is a most rewarding experience to have associated with SEAGS since 1973. The Presidents I worked with as Secretary General are the late Tan Sri Prof Chin from Malaysia, the late Prof. Peter Lumb from Hong Kong, the late Dr. Tan Swan Beng from Singapore, Dr. Ted Brand from UK, DR. Ting Wen Hui from Malaysia, Prof. Seng Lip Lee from Singapore, Dr Ou Chin Der from Taiwan, Dr. Ooi Tiek Aun from Malaysia, Dr. Surachat Sambandaraksa from Thailand, Dr. John Li from Taiwan. I have also worked with Prof. K. Y. Yong from Singapore and Dr. Chung Tien Chin from Taiwan, as a G.C. Member. I am greatly indebted to all of them.
