Message from the Division Governor


Good day to all of you.
 
There was once myself and NJ Singam (past convention organizing Chair) went to one of the local bank to close the convention bank account. When we went to the counter, we informed the officer about the matter and she handed us 2 forms for us to initial it. Then she obtained our Identification Card for verification. Just within 4 minutes, the officer handed us the remaining balance and told us that, the account was closed.

It was a total contrast, if we compared with opening a bank account, where we had to fill few forms, go through few verification and approvals prior to opening an account. The entire process took almost 2.5hours compared to closure of account which lasted only for 5 minutes.  
 
We often forget or never ponder on the initiator of the club and their sacrifice & hard work to charter the club and we just need a single sheet of paper to close a TM club. 

Should your club is having turmoil or recession, do speak to Area Governor or myself, so that we could advise and perform various strategies to sustain the club.

Always think of the sacrifice of the creators and initiators whom has made our club to current status, as it's always easy to close a club but needs effort to charter a club

Ice Breaker Speech: Myself by Ang Poon Kenn

Good evening everyone, my name is Ang Poon Kenn, everyone calls me Ken. Today, the title of my speech is about Myself. As far as I could recall, me parents were not staying with me since I was 3 years old; they went overseas and started their new working life for some reason, and did not come back ever since. I'm staying with my grandmother, and she look after my elder brother, younger sister and me. I actually have not met my parents for more than 18 years and only communicate through the phone and social media. Can you imagine, 15 years of not seeing your own parents? 18 years of not having parents around the house, school and life. My grandmother take over my mother's role, she does all the housework for us. She takes care of us. My relative, they are not rich but they sponsor me for my education and pocket money.
