PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Our needs and wants are based on our opinions as dictated by several factors: 

In all of the above, the one outstanding feature is that you made your choices. Remember, choices are made on mindsets.

What is mindset, one may choose to ask. Mindset is a belief system that has an entrenched influence on a group of people that subscribe and contribute to a certain set of beliefs or principles that influence the group collectively or individually to act in a certain manner in the decision making process or conduct or behaviour.

It is this same mindset or belief system that influences our choices and decisions. It is now relevant to acknowledge that the way we function, the way we conduct ourselves, and most of all our decisions and choices will be based on our mindset or belief system.

Bearing this in mind, the opinion is that our conduct and its results are based on our belief system. Yes, it is true and so we must come to conclude that it no longer is an opinion but a fact. You do something the same way all the time , you end up getting the same result and we ask “where did I go wrong?”. The mindset and belief system was wrongly programmed in the first place.

Now, having identified the areas that need attention, we shall now begin a new journey to realise a new destination. A destination that will be our comfort zone. A destination that will realise our dreams and desires. A DESTINATION THAT WAS ALWAYS MEANT AND DESTINED FOR US.

LET US REINVENT OUR CLUB INTO ONE THAT WE ALL DESIRE.

ROTARY SHARES TO MAKE OUR DREAMS REAL.

Our current parliamentarians are obviously lacking in the quality of language use. Emotions overtake them and they lose control of their language. What is most important in an open forum is debate without losing one’s head. It does not mean that a parliamentarian with the loudest guttural delivery wins the debate. It’s the substance that is the criterion. To have all these, parliamentarians must have adequate training and experience. Do our YBs have these? I’m not too sure. Maybe some statistics are required whether they have graduated from universities where students are trained, at least in recent times, to have appropriate skills in presentation or skills in speaking before an audience. If they don’t, it’s about time they acquire them. It’s a shame to see them acting like clowns before students who have high regard for their ‘wakil rakyat’.

Attendance Make-up events/activities 

The Board at its recent meeting has declared effective immediately the following event/activities of the Club as attendance make-up events & activities namely:

1. Golden Child Project on 8 May 08 at Sunway Lagoon
2. Super Camp (Interactors) from 24-27 May 08 at Trolak

Resulting from the above declaration attendance at the above events and activities qualifies as a make-up for absence from a weekly meeting, if it is within two weeks before or after the said weekly meeting. It is nevertheless the duty of an attendee who wishes to claim a make-up to notify the attendance chairman accordingly.
