Division S & H Joint Installation Dinner 2010 – Part 2

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Let’s continue with the JID blog post. ^^

As promised, there will be a video clip uploaded about the performance of the officers from Area and Division level.

Here you go!

The video angle may not be so good, but you can see that the number of officers on stage kept on increasing, and all officers enjoyed dancing on the stage!!

Of course, we enjoyed the environment, the atmosphere too!!

In addition, some people may ask…

Why does Seberang Jaya Toastmasters Club being categorized under Division H but not Division S? Since when did the Division H exist?

Yeah… there was the short story of the existence of Division H, as below…

When our Immediate Past Division Governor, SH Lim, handled Division S, he was so headache with all the problems and issues from each of the clubs under his Division S.

One day, when he was discussing with the Area Governors on the problems they faced, they finally found a way to reduce his headache!!

That method was… split up the Division S into 2 different divisions!!

If the division was split up, he would have another Division Governor to manage the new division!!

But, what was the name to be given to the new division? Hmm…

After a deep thought, SH Lim decided to name it as… Division H!!

Why “H”? It was because… SH –> SH Lim!!

Thus, there it came with the new division, Division H!

Hmm… Do you believe in their story? That will be another deep thought…

By the way, we really enjoyed the dinner so much!! Although the photos taken were not many, but, the photos couldn’t really give you the feeling of the enjoyable dinner. You have to experience the environment and the atmosphere by yourself.

We hope to see you enjoying the next Joint Installation Dinner by yourself!! So, come and join us next year! ^^

Ah, nothing can be perfect in this world. This round, there was the other Exco member that missed the group photo! Could you guess who was the Exco member that slipped in, and who was the Exco member that turned away from the second group photo session?

Yes! It was IC that missed the first group photo session, whereas Justin (CC) missed the second group photo session.

Why did Justin missed the second group photo session? That was because he was the emcee for the JID! Let’s see how he performed in the JID!

Justin (CC) started his emcee performance

the president of MEF Toastmasters Club, Celine Choy!

Some people may ask… What was the meaning of Joint Installation Dinner?
It was mainly the official declaration for the Exco members to be seated in their positions in the club for the new term. The Exco members needed to go onto the stage to plague themselves for the responsibilities of the Exco positions.

YC Ng (CC) pledged to be responsible as a
club president of Seberang Jaya Toastmasters Club

Mission Is Not Only A Mission Itself…

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

We kicked off another regular Toastmaster Meeting on 3rd August 2010.

Theme of the meeting:
Mission is the source of peak performance

Every company, organization, club or society, must have a mission stated clearly. Mission, it serves the purpose to motivate the members to work towards it. Thus, it is not only a mission itself, but it is also a motivator to the members to get them perform better!

Whenever we talk about mission, we should always ask ourselves, what are our missions in our lives. Have we achieved the missions that we set? So, the Table Topic Master, Toastmaster Jeffrey Ooi, has prepared a few questions regarding mission for the Table Topic session.

Consumers, Bring Your Goods To The Court

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Back dated to the first meeting of the new term, Toastmaster Kameles delivered her speech for Competent Communication Assignment No 2. Although it is a little bit too late, but still, I would like to share her speech with all of you out there, because I personally feel that her speech was informative. And, I hope that you will be benefited from her speech too.

She is a student of Law Studies. So, she shared with us about the rights that consumers hold in our daily life.

Kameles told us about
the true stories of the complaints from consumers

Below is her full speech’s script:

Good Evening toastmaster

Have you ever in your life have took any action upon any company or shop for services or goods for which was not in a particular kind, standard, quality, or quantity? Do you know that everyday activity in your life relates you as a consumer?

Consumer means a person who buys and uses goods and services. Education, transport, shopping and services we get in our daily life relate us to be a consumer. When you have problems as a consumer, do you know where to go and get your rights? Do you know FOMCA? FOMCA stands for Federation of Malaysia Consumers Association.

FOMCA is a national non-governmental organization, which is voluntary, non-profit and non-political. Their role is to do their research consumer issues and implicate on people. Secondly they also promote and conduct consumer, thirdly they advocate for better consumer protection and lastly is they conduct product testing.

Now, let me share whit you some cases about consumer,

The first case is Blooming Misleading,

A lady purchase flowers. Especially the pink colour flowers. It is really in bad shape and they actually had used that for an RM180.00 order. She purchase the good for RM280

These are the photos of the flowers which is in bad shape,

She felt the shop should use better flower, better colour and more flower.

All she did a right action was, she report this issue to NCCC (National Consumer Complain Center)

Action taken by NCCC was, they ask the florist shop to collect back the flower from the customer and will give the consumer a full refund. She was refund via online banking.

Next is my personal story that happens to my sister.

She was on the way back form Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth. At the rest area the bus stop, she went to washroom. She came back the bus is no more there. She took a different bus and came back. She went to the bus counter to get her beg but the beg is no more there. She find for the bus driver, the bus driver told there is no bag in the bus. She was so angry and straight went to consumer office and made a report on the bus driver and the bus company. She published this issue on The star newspaper and made a polis report.

The case went to court. She wants her right and justice. At last she won the case and she got RM4,000 compensation for her lost beg and negligently left her in half way journey.

Dear Toasmaster,

Don’t stop from taking any action upon whom because you have all the right to get good quality good and service. Now I would like to share with you how and where you make report to take action and uphold your rights. All you can do is mail your problem or issues to myaduan@nccc.org.my or call them to +600 7877 9000 / +03 7874 8097

Toastmaster never ever give away your rights, be brave to take action, you deserve a good products and services.

YOUR RIGHTS, YOUR RIGHTS, YOUR RIGHTS, UP HOLD YOUR RIGHTS.

Thank you.

All or us should know what are the rights that we should hold while we receive any bad service from the service companies. Kameles has shown us the effective ways to go to while we have any problem on the services that we receive.

Toastmaster Kameles, I truly enjoyed your informative speech, and I believe the rest of our club members enjoyed it too! You have done a good job! Keep it up in your future assignments!
