The club VPE, Robert Tan presided over the meeting in the absence of the President. It was a good turn-out with four guests (including Irene). The TOE, Stephen Francis, completely sold everyone the idea and need to join Toastmasters, engaging the audience with his story of his daughter's admiration (for daddy) and personal success story of his working career, thanks to skills developed through Toastmastering. I am sure the guests are also ready to sign up!
Young and enthusiastic Lim KC threw interesting and mind-labouring table topics like "What if you could live forever; If you only had 24 hours to live; Should media be Government controlled; Failing or never trying; Which bad habit to stop; Should smoking be banned; Who are the better teachers - men or ladies?" Keep up the trend of posing thinking questions!
Tan Soo Guan gave a spirited roundup of the various table topics speakers; humour was provided by Indra R. Other roles taken up were: Language Evaluator (Kay Ku), General Evaluator (Chandran N), Ah Counter (Dilaasha), Timekeeper (Aarchanaa), Speech Evaluators (Indra R, Rosa Phua).
Only two prepared speeches were delivered, Robert Tan on "Safeguarding Your Bank Account" and Ong Guan Leong spoke on "Diabetes - the Malaysian Epidemic."
The meeting ended with the awards to the winners who were :
