Presidential Address 26 May 2009

Hi Fellow Taman Indrahana Members, Good Day.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I take up the role of President of our club. It is a great honour to represent such a highly respected, matured and professional group and I look forward, with the support of my exco team and our members, in tackling the challenges of the many strategic plans and actions in the year ahead.

At the start, I want to acknowledge the work of the outgoing President, Yap Choi Woon and her team. We want to thank her and her team for undertaking the club business and club projects in the past year. Well done. We wish you and your team good health in the year ahead.

I look forward to continuing the key strategies and focus areas previously led by Choi Woon, and working with my team and our members to achieve another year of meaningful progress.

During the past few years we have achieved remarkable results in terms of education and training. We have no problem in achieving our Distinguished Club Program (DCP) points in this area. Nevertheless, we are concerned that we have been less successful in creating and facilitating smooth and effective relationships amongst members, especially the newer ones. It has become increasingly important for us to ask the fundamental questions that will lead to a better understanding of these relationships.

I believe that it is necessary to tackle this concern by shifting our club’s focus from being too DCP-oriented towards holistic development of our members. This will investigate the changes needed, how to implement the changes, and address change management and transition risks.

For this, we will be seeking advice and guidance from two of our very experienced and dedicated members, Dominic G. Joseph and Yeoh Cheng Lim, who will be in the exco team to help us address this issue. Thank you, Dom and Yeoh.

Dom will focus on Education and Training, and Yeoh will work on Marketing and Public Relations. We desire to have a helicopter view from both of them, advising how we can both capitalize on our strengths – Education and Training – and remedy our weaknesses in Marketing and Public Relations for member development and retention. These areas are key in finding solutions to the current concern.

I look forward to receiving comments and guidance offered from others members of the club on the contents of this Presidential Address, our club’s current strategic plans and priorities, or any other relevant issue!

I am honoured to accept the challenges associated with being your President and I look forward to leading this Club. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Han Lee Hwee

Ice Breaker speech by Victor Tan: Introduction Fellow toastmasters, t oday I want to introduce to you a person that I used to know, someone whom  I hold close to my heart, someone who  I missed so much and someone whom I  hope soon  can be a part of  my life  again. H e is always  happy, full  of imagination and adventurous . He makes fun of himself and  likes to keep life as lightweight as possible. He is also  light hearted, humorous and creative as well. And most of the time he is liked by many because  he is positive  and  happy  go  lucky .  I believe he used to see the best in people around him and he wish people see the best in him as well.   He was a fun  and protective brother, a chivalrous friend,  and a stranger you can trust. He  is very passionate in the things that he likes. He  loves cars a lot (he even wishes his first car goodnight), he love comics and g...
