Dear Stefania,

I'm extremely grateful for those well-articulated and specific comments. I
tried applying them to the form and separated it into four pages for easier
navigation.: http://goo.gl/XlwyQL . So do check it out again and let me
know if there's something else that could be improved.

To the rest of the MAT members in Singapore, I strongly recommend you
double check the form again if you have the time before our constituency
meeting on Tuesday.

Wishing you all the best.


Sincerely,

Walid
