Fun meeting on "ONG" night


As this is an auspicious (OXspicious) day, the entrance fee was made at RM 8.80 per pax (for non-member only) with "LOW SANG" (tossing raw fish) as to generate more prosperity. The meeting room was well decorated to reflect the theme "ONG".

Voice of Indrahanians - My 2 Cents

The toastmaster club was a chance incident that Patrick Daya over the course of a dinner spoke to me about. It was sometime in Oct’08.
