SATMC Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest

A Bouquet of Thanks to IPP Zaharah Ibrahim, DTM

ON behalf of SATMC, a bouquet of thanks for serving as the Organizing Chair (OC) for the Installation of new Exco on 26 July 2011. It was a solemn yet grand affair which I believe augurs well for the club’s performance this term.

Your ever willingness to share your time and experience ensured the success of the installation ceremony, a very important milestone in the SATMC calendar of events. Not forgetting your personal contribution towards sponsoring the Exco name pins. Each of us will wear this badge of honour with pride throughout the term.

SATMC is indeed fortunate to have such a dedicated club member… your Leadership definitely an inspiration to all of us.

‘Excel and Succeed Together’

Thanks & Regards,

Nor Lida Dahalan

President SATMC

District 51 Term 2011/12 - Message from the District Governor

Dear Fellow Toastmasters,

" Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed.

  Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well ".

The District 51 team for the new term 2011/2012 looks forward to working

in harmony with all members to fulfill the tenets of the Toastmasters Mission.

Congratulations to those who have taken up roles as club officers. We wish

you all the best on your journey this term.

Members are our top priority and it is our commitment to serve you the best we can.

Most of us would have joined our clubs to acquire communication skills. We discovered

there was far more to it than just that. Members developed to be more confident individuals,

better leaders and committed stakeholders in the organization. Those members who

immersed themselves totally in Toastmasters developed and gained tremendously.

If Toastmasters is the vehicle which can bring members from one point of self-development

to another, then passion must be the fuel.  Passion is the energy and power that fuels

members to take positions and serve selflessly in a non-profit organization.

"S.E.R.V.E. with Passion" is our tagline and we will do our best in harmony with you. 

(S- Sincerity,  E- Excellence, R- Respect, V- Vision, E- Enthusiasm)

I take the opportunity to thank all the District Officers and Appointed Officers who have

stepped up to serve District 51. (Attached is the list of District Officers).

Let us continue our journey together in Toastmasters and "S.E.R.V.E. with Passion".

Warm regards,

Sue Chan, DTM

District 51 Governor

Post report - SATMC meeting 10 May 2011

Hi esteemed SATMC members

Better late than never, here’s what happened last meeting on 10 May 2011:

• (Finally) a member induction ceremony for Mohd Jaladi was successfully conducted by our VPE Sarah, who presided over the meeting as Prez Zaharah was away
• Aisya Ajwa Hassan has delivered her Ice Breaker speech “About Myself’ and received a standing ovation from the club
• Zulfarham has delivered his tenth speech from the Competent Communicator (CC) manual titled “Follow Your Dreams, Transform Your Life” and will now be known as a Competent Communicator (CC). Congrats, Zul!
• Jaladi has delivered his second speech from the CC manual titled “How to Assemble a Computer by Yourself”. Jaladi is on the fast track and has committed to deliver his third speech in the following meeting
• We had four Table Topic Speakers and the Best Table Topics Speaker Award went to Nor Lida, CC.
• SATMC was fortunate to be accorded the presence of a luminary that evening, none other than Dr Lim Chooi Peng. Dr Lim was a Professor in Nanyang Uni Spore and came back to Malaysia to set up HICT (a college in Klang). Dr Lim was also District Governor (District 80) in 2005/2006 which covers Singapore , Thailand , Hong Kong & Macau. Dr Lim gave an exemplary evaluation of Zulfarham’s speech. Wow! I believe all of us there agreed that Dr Lim’s evaluation report was the highlight of the evening as we rarely get to see such a high standard of evaluating!
• Our Area Governor, Teoh Chun Ming, gamely played the role of General Evaluator. Chun Ming has been quite a regular at our meetings. His constant presence without a doubt demonstrated his dedication and commitment to see SATMC reach new heights. Thanks for the wonderful support, Chun Ming!
• Last but not least, our Toastmasters of the Evening was our ever affable Tengku Shaifudin. A job well done as TME!!

Do drop by at our next meeting on May 24! See you there…

Hi All

Highlights of SATMC meeting on 8 March 2011:

It was a full house! Rare indeed that we had 3 VIPs in our midst at one go: Division B Governor, Irene Lee ACB, ALB; Area B4 Governor, Teoh Chun Ming CC, CL; Vincent Soon, CC, VPPR from Shaklee Dynamic Family TMC. All in all total of 8 guests.

Member Induction Ceremony for new members and future great speakers: Zaini, Amir and Nik Mazlan.

Several Firsts

• Amir delivered his Ice Breaker speech which received a standing ovation for a job well done!
• Ariff Hafizi performed the role of Table Topics Master for the first time and he did GREAT!
• Nik Mazlan played the role of Ah Counter for the first time.
• Nor Lida played the role of General Evaluator for the first time in SATMC.

And the Best Award goes to…

Best Project Speaker went to Lawrence Wong who delivered his final speech from the Competent Communication Manual CC#10 titled “Achieve Your Dreams as You Age”. Lawrence will now be known as a Competent Communicator (CC).

Best Table Topics Speaker went to Ainuddin Ridzuan, our first time guest, who spoke off the cuff on the word ‘Heroic’.

Best Evaluator went to Irene Lee, ACB, ALB for her evaluation of Lawrence ’s speech.

Table Topics evaluation was by DTM Sharmini and she was also the Grammarian. Sharmini never fail to impress with her effortless delivery yet right on the mark comments.

Zulfarham gamely played the role of Timekeeper.

We had a team of speech evaluators comprising of Vincent, Chun Ming, Zulfarham and Irene Lee. A good mix of views from members from outside the club to give the evaluations a bit more zest!

Chun Ming also took the time to motivate the club on “Getting New Members”.

Thanks to Sarah for performing her role as TME with her usual aplomb and style!

Our next meeting is on 22 March. See you there!
