Merdeka Spirit

August 11, 2009 was an awesome meeting! Everyone was in high spirit and the meeting room was filled with energy. There were 8 guests as well, kudos!

The President, CC CL Siew Yin delivered her presidential address in line with the theme of the meeting, “Merdeka Spirit”. A shout of “Merdeka” echoed through the room and reverberated by the members. New members ie. Vince Kek, Abdulrahaman and Eileen Lau were voted into the club and went through the induction session. CC Cindy Foong as the TME was well prepared, amiable and composed. She was even equipped with a Malaysian flag! Invocation was well delivered by ATMG KL Loh who inspired all members and guests to stand up and shouted, “Merdeka” 3 times. It was indeed a high spirit session.
Table Topics Master for the first time, CC Kok Sook Meng gave very interesting topics during her session and 3 out of 4 participants were guests. Bravo to all of you! The prepared speeches were equally creative, mesmerizing and informative. .. "When I Close My Eyes" by Vince Kek, "Fasting" by Eileen Lau and "A Twist of Fate" by Julia Leong. We were very privileged to listen to our club’s champion ie. ACB, CL Haji Naburi’s humorous speech followed by open evaluation from the floor.

Thanks to CC, CL KH Song for providing the sumptuous food. After yummy food during break, ACS, CL Johnny Yong led the interesting evaluation session. Congratulations to the role players for the first time, ie. Alvin Wong as the time keeper, CC Kok Sook Meng as the Table Topics Master and TM Vince Kek for his Ice Breaker speech.
The blue ribbon of the President Distinguished Club 2008/09 from Toastmasters International was presented by the Area W1 Governor, Syamala to the our Immediate Past President, CC, CL Haji Hashim Adnan.
