2009 Installation Dinner

This time our Installation night was held at Dataran Prima Condo and all the members and family were invited for FREE. Which club can provide this? On top of it some of our members even got lucky and bring home some prizes, including their family members. Our IPP Leong was very generous, he donated back his gift for another lucky draw and a young lady (possibly Adam's daughter) was happy that she brought home something.



Assembly of members present for the night. Were you there? Sorry if you have missed it.

Farewells & Thank You's

23RD JUNE, 2009 – Farewells & Thank You’s

Warmest greetings to all,

The 23rd was a truly memorable day for me, not least because of the horrendous traffic! At MIITC, it is important for members to be punctual and in the past, meetings always began on time. It was imperative for me to be punctual for I was assigned to an important role and this extremely heavy traffic was a severe test of my patience.

That evening’s meeting was an important event; it was a Farewell for our dear President. He must have been pleased, for there was a record attendance of 38 people, despite the heavy traffic. To the members, President Leong Kok Wah was a special person. It was a lovely gathering as the President was accompanied by his First Lady.

Everyone was tinkled pink when Mrs. Khung announced in her introduction that she had come so as to check and see if these MIITC meetings were as real as her husband had claimed every time he left her at home!

Members and guests were further entertained when Adam Fung (ACB) and S. Manogaran (TM) had every one in stitches with their short act in the form of eulogy to the out-going President. It was an impressive eulogy, detailing a long list of the fine qualities of Leong Kok Wah. It was a list of the qualities required to be an outstanding President of MIITC, including the qualities of being persuasive, forceful, compassionate, passionate, dedicated, caring, creative, resourceful and the list goes on!


There was a special appearance made by Keats Markandu (PP), a past-president of MIITC, who gave a presentation on “Glimpses into Storytelling”. Keats is a good storyteller who has organised storytelling sessions with children at the local bookstores and libraries. During her presentation, she shared her experience as a storyteller and also gave some pointers like using props, good facial expressions and a variety of voice tones in order to be a good story-teller. Also, the most important quality of a good storyteller is the ability to enjoy telling stories to others.

The grand finale of the evening was of course the farewell speech by our dear President. It was a very touching and emotional speech, I felt, full of fond memories, a recollection of a year’s achievement and an inspiring statement dedicated to the 3 newly wed couples (who got married during his presidency tenure). He wished them well, that they would have a marriage as lucky as his, where they could wake up every morning with their lovely partner next to them and be able to say “I don’t want anything more”.


The evening ended with two bottles of sparkling drinks being popped-out and poured in paper cups, sipped with muffins made by Mrs. Leong Kok Wah.

No regrets, according to the President. It was a wonderful evening for Mr. & Mrs. Leong Kok Wah.
