Last night I attended the AFC TMC meeting at their HQ in Bukit Jalil. This my third time attending their meeting there. Who were there? DTM Francis (Club Mentor), DVG Dr Sharon Tong, DTM Tang Sam Chee, and Ernest Wong from TTDI. There were 3 other guests from a Private school in Cheras, brought in by Francis. They were very impressed with the meeting and in the process of forming a Gavel Club under the guidance of Francis. It was a well attended meeting by the enthusiastic members of AFC.
AFC (Asian Football Confederation) TMC is an in-house Club sponsored by our Club under the mentorship of DTM Francis. It is a brand new club in Div W. The members comprise of the staff of AFC who came from all over the world and it is truly an international club. Last night the TME was Sean Tohidi from California USA. The Acting President was Hasan Al Sabah from the Middle East. The Asst. SAA was T. Ali from the Middle East. TM Mohamed Ameez who did his ice-breaker speech is from The Maldives. The rest were Malaysians and a Singaporean.
I had a chance to chit-chat with Mohamed Ameez from Maldives who informed me that there is no Toastmasters Club there. So he is keen to form a Club in his country, Maldives to help his friends. He needs help as how to go about it. Any ideas?
To our members I would like to impress upon you that it is our moral obligation to assist AFC TMC as they are our protege club. As Francis has been pleading to our members to encourage them to help out and attend their meeting; so I do support the plea and recommend members to attend their meeting which is held every Monday at 6.30pm. They meet four times a month. Dinner is served at 6.00pm in their First World Class cafeteria. You won't regret it as the food served is excellent, the meeting place is superb and the cosmopolitan members are full of warmth. So if you want to experience speaking to an international audience the AFC club meeting is the best venue. There is no door fee imposed.
Special note:* The ambience of the place and the environment at the AFC HQ is similar to a university campus. I felt like a post-grad student attending a tutorial when I attend their meetings. There is a good number of Phd members there sharing their ideas and thoughts. Though a new club, their standard is high. It is a fantastic learning experience attending the AFC meetings. So why not join them at their next meeting come Monday next week, 3rd Nov.
Think Like wise men but comminicate in the language of the people.
