Time: 12 noon
Venue: Royal Commonwealth Society Club House, Kuala Lumpur.

Fee: The Talk is free but RM40 is for the buffet lunch
Synopsis: Dr Tan will highlight the health benefits of sweet potato, the crop that
used to be the cheap source of carbohydrate for the poor, but no more. Recent findings have
shown that this tuber is packed with abundant nutrients and high level of antioxidants.
SFTGS members are welcome to attend this interesting talk. Come join us, do not miss this opportunity
to learn more about this humble sweet potato, the food that once upon a time was referred to,
together with cassava, as the main source of food during the Japanese occupation in Malaya.
Buffet lunch will be served after the talk. The talk is free, but if you want to join us for lunch,
members of MSSA will be charged RM30 and non-member RM40 to cover the cost of the meal.
Details are attached in the files, which include the map of the location of Royal Commonwealth Society
Club House. Please let me know early so that we can make arrangement for the number of persons
joining for lunch. Your support would be much appreciated.

Making Eco-Friendly Products
My friend invited me to attend a workshop on making eco
friendly products from plant products recently. Two of the products are made from plant
products. One is from fruits and vegetables for human consumption (a concentrated drink)
and the other is from parts of fruits and vegetables which are not used for eating
(concentrated washing solutions). The information of the products are found in the website:
www.enzymesos.com and click on the English tag for some DIY.
