Let's call and say to Mohd. Farid Affuan Tan Bin Abdullah (Phone: 013-4287001) and Seet Whee Ngoh, Adelyn (Phone: 019-4126148).
Latest: PTGA's website address is now "ptga.my". The old "ptga.org.my" will still be valid until Nov 2008.
Hi! Excited to visit PTGA's revamped website? Our old website was totally demolished a few months ago. We listen to you and want to improve things. A web blog has been added so that we may keep you informed of PTGA's activities. We have also added an image upload tool to the Forum. You may include images in your posts now. Of course, there are many other excitements.
This website, together with those of MTGC and other TGAs, uses the web-ring concept. All websites use the standard theme. Certain data are shared over different websites. For example, when MTGC posted a new event in its calendar, that event (tagged with "MTGC:") will automatically appear in PTGA's calendar in the next hour. Any message that you post under the Forum will also appear in the other 6 websites.
Please invite other fellow TGs here. It is time that all members start using the Internet. In the future, many announcement will only be made on the web. May this new site also improve the communication among PTGA members.
