Editorial PP Quah Sek Cheng President’s Message Leong Choy
Ying
Re-energizing Pudu Rotary Club
“We take Pudu Rotary Club as our benchmark”. This was told to me
by a fellow president from another club. Similar comments are often
heard when we meet up with other club members at District
functions.
While our Club has been, and still is recognised projects, great
fellowship and effective administration within District 3300, I
cannot help but feel that we have settled into a certain “routine”
in our activities. In recent years, each succeeding presidents have
had a list of “must be done” projects to be carried out in their
Rotary calendar. While I am grateful that it has provided a tried
and tested structure in the running of our club, some of our
members may begin to experience “service fatigue” as the same
projects has been repeated for many years.
I believe it is an opportune time for Pudu Rotary Club to do
some self assessment and re-evaluate our club’s focus for the next
3-5 years. From there, we could prioritize and re-align our efforts
to serve those focus areas more effectively.
The best forum for us to brainstorm and share our ideas will be
during the up-coming first Club Assembly for RY2010/2011 to be held
on 21 August 2010 from 6.30pm at PDG Paul Lee’s residence. I urge
all PRC members to come and play your part and share your vision on
the future of our Club.
Have we been cruising along too contentedly? Are some of us
operating an “auto-pilot” mode? Personally, I think we have scope
to do an upgrade on our engines so as to re-energize Pudu Rotary
Club.
Our DG Lim Kok Beng wrote this in our 44th Installation
magazine: “What we need most is more forward-thinking, strategic
direction for the future of our clubs and districts, strategy that
is well thought out, communicated and implemented. That is what
Rotary needs.”
In Rotary Service,President RY 2010/2011
“ I have always thought its important to bear in mind that
Rotary is a voluntary organization, composed of people who are all
themselves leaders. When addressing such an audience, I have never
thought it fitting to exhort or demand. Every Rotary club is and
must be autonomous: The leadership of Rotary International exists
not to control, but to motivate and guide.
And so when we in Rotary speak about the importance of
membership, I believe it of the utmost importance to bear in mind
that the PRIMARY EXPERIENCE of Rotary, for the overwhelming
majority of Rotarians, IS OF THE CLUB: of club meetings, club
projects, and fellow club members.
When Paul Harris began the first Rotary club 104 years ago, he
did not initially think of service. Instead, he had in mind a place
where people of good character, intelligence, and morals could
enjoy other’s fellowship. The service came later, as a natural
outgrowth of the gathering of people.
Every good Rotarian, every member who shares our core values,
will make a club that much stronger, and that much more attractive
for others to join. Unfortunately, it is also the case that
bringing in the wrong person can have the opposite effect.
Rotarians are and must be people of a certain caliber – people with
the capacity to do great deeds, the sense to do them wisely, and
the strength of character to do them honestly as well.
In the end, I believe that the best way to bring new members
into Rotary is the way it has been done for generations: One member
invites a carefully chosen friend, client, or colleague to a
meeting and, if the match is a good one, proposes that individual
for membership. This is the way that our clubs remain harmonious;
it is the way that new clubs become old clubs, and new members
become Rotarians for life. And as long as we all do our jobs well,
and bring in new members carefully, this is a security we in Rotary
will never lack “
The above is penned by the then R.I. President John Kenny
(2009/2010) and remind us always to keep in mind the core values of
Rotary and Rotary Membership.
Membership growth and development is necessary to ensure that
the ideals of Rotary can be carried out successfully. Every year
our Club targets the month of August to explain and hopefully
interest members from the general public, who have the wish to
contribute their part to society, to come forward and join the
family of Pudu Rotary Club and become a member of a worldwide
organization where one values service above everything else.

In 1998 she joined the Real Estate Developers’ Association of
Singapore (REDAS) managing housing developers and their issues with
Government agencies.
During her stint with REDAS, Rtn Daisy was also managing the
Singapore branch of the International Real Estate Federation
(FIABC) and also in charge of helping to draft the “Building
Maintenance Common Property Act” and the “Design and Build
Contract”
And also serves on the Construction Industry Joint
Committee.
In 2005 she left REDAS to join American Express to manage their
logistics arm based in Intel Penang, Malaysia and Shanghai,
China.
Rtn Daisy brings with her a database with property specialists
in Singapore and the relevant government agencies, media and
professionals in the region.
Rtn. Daisy humorously put the audience at ease with her mantra “
IT is dead, REIT is alive”. The fact that initially Rtn Lawrance
Annies’s computer didn’t quite check out lend credence to her swipe
at IT (perhaps our Lawrance would like to prove her wrong when he
gives us a talk!).
Daisy said that her move to KL from Singapore has been a
challenge. Her work with Corporate Real Estate in Singapore didn’t
quite prepare her for the cultural differences and she has since
adapted nicely into the local scenes and nuances. She sidestepped
from elaborating by saying simply “you know” (how things are being
done locally) and that whereas in Singapore things are mainly
transparent. Her audience seems to understand what she meant.
Her forte is marketing and that includes rehabilitating
properties that have fallen behind and needs rebranding and
refurbishing to position them to be successful again. Her company
is well positioned on both sides of the causeway to be able to
provide “one-stop” services to those seeking good investment.
She conceded that Singapore is a more volatile market but there
is money to be made as its an island state and the land resources
is limited. This is in contrast to the vast land available here and
it was somewhat of a shock to her when she first arrived here.
However she was quick to point out that Malaysia is a better place
to retire.
She showed a few slides of properties her company handle on both
sides of the causeway and invited those interested to contact her.
Her final slide was that of a reclining lady in swimsuit on a
rooftop swimming pool which she said was to “wake” up her audience.
That was no need to as she has managed, in her own happy funny sort
of way, to play down the fact that she is a director of her company
here with the necessary experience to help investors.
Her vocational talk gave the Club a chance to get to know her
better and PDG KB Lee would certainly agree as he was amongst those
who spoke to her after the meeting. Pity that this time around Rtn.
BRENDA had taken ill but one can look forward to her giving her own
vocational talk another time.
DIALYSIS CENTRES
It appears that PP Sam has again challenged Pudu Rotary Club to
raise funds for another DIALYSIS CENTRE, this time in KLANG NORTH
where recently survey shows that there is an urgent need for a
dialysis center there.
Dialysis machines are indispensable to dialysis patients and
daily these centers are performing life saving services to those in
need.
Thus far Pudu Rotary Club has raised about 2 million ringgit to
fund dialysis machines which have been placed in centers in Klang,
Rawang, Raub and Shah Alam.
The St. John Ambulans Malaysia has approached Pudu Rotary Club
for assistance and Pudu Rotary Club hopes to set up a new center in
Klang North sometime in year 2011.
SURELY SUCH A WORTHY CAUSE DESERvES EvERYBODY’S SUPPORT?
So, don’t fade into the corner when SAM approaches you for
assistance!
GOOD NEW!
PP PHANG’s recent delicate operation for stones in the gall
bladder is successful albeit a little delicate.
He needs a lot of rest, good cheers and will be absent from our
Club till the end of this year for full recuperation.
We wish him well and look forward to seeing him soon at the Club
meetings.
The Editor misses his help and is grateful to all Pudu Rotarians
besides the Editorial Board, who willingly come forward to assist
when called upon.

Why Rotary Needs Young Members(by Vanessa N. Glavinskas)
A recent study shows that most Rotarians are between the ages of
50 and 59. Rotarians under 40 make up only 11 percent of overall
membership.
“If we don’t get enough young people into Rotary, then Rotary
will die,” RI President Bill Boyd told the newest regional Rotary
International membership coordinators (RRIMCs) at their training
seminar in March. “We take young people and give them that Rotaract
experience and then tell them, Go away — come back in 10
years.”
Youth program alumni rarely make the transition into Rotary, a
pattern that many consider a missed opportunity. After all,
participants in Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards,
Rotary Youth Exchange, and Group Study Exchange are selected
because they represent the best of the best in their age group.
Many are sponsored by Rotarians or The Rotary Foundation to travel
abroad, where they learn about the organization and develop
exceptional leadership skills. About 84 percent of current RI and
Foundation educational program participants say they would like to
join Rotary someday. Still, most of them are not invited to
join.
“There are many clubs [in England] who say, ‘Why would they want
to join us? We are not working, we’re older and set in our ways,’
rather than trying to make their club attractive to younger
people,” says RRIMC John Hockin, of the Rotary Club of Woodhall
Spa, England. And some Rotarians in Europe and Japan believe that
young people don’t have enough professional experience to be
Rotarians.
In other parts of the world, young professionals are actually
reshaping the business landscape, which gives current Rotarians
another incentive to recruit them. “In India, more and more youth
are getting into business,” says Ramachandran Ganapathi, a member
of the RI Membership Development and Retention Committee and the
Rotary Club of Madras-T. Nagar, India. He notes that this trend,
combined with the country’s rapid economic growth, means tomorrow’s
leaders will be younger than ever before. “As the IT [information
technology] sector booms, we try to make Rotary attractive to its
leaders.”
Sam F. Owori, of the Rotary Club of Kampala, Uganda, says clubs
in his district use Rotaract as a recruiting tool. “Many
Rotaractors know more about Rotary than the Rotarians,” Owori says.
Rotaractors around age 30 begin visiting Rotary clubs in their area
to determine which one they would feel most comfortable joining.
“They join [Rotaract] with their sights set on becoming Rotarians,”
he says.
Although recruiting younger members is crucial to ensuring a
strong future for Rotary, many RRIMCs point out that seasoned
members are still the backbone of the organization. They bring both
knowledge and resources to their clubs, and older members,
especially retirees, often have more time than younger members to
devote to service projects, not to mention a wealth of business
savvy to pass on.
Because demographics and cultural norms vary by region, there’s
no single best way to attract younger members. But if you’re
concerned about the future of Rotary in your area, take a look at
your local business community and compare it with your club. Do
they reflect the same picture? If not, raise the issue with club
leadership for discussion. Your club might consider supporting one
of Rotary’s youth programs or keeping better tabs on youth program
alumni for future recruitment. Also, stay aware of volunteer
trends, and keep an eye on other organizations in your region. Is
there a young professionals group that potential Rotarians flock to
over your club?
Finally, try to picture your club 10 years from now. Who will be
in charge? Will the club still be a pillar in your community? Get
everyone involved in keeping your club relevant. After all, the
next 100 years are up to you.

Why Rotary Needs Young Members(by Vanessa N. Glavinskas)
A recent study shows that most Rotarians are between the ages of
50 and 59. Rotarians under 40 make up only 11 percent of overall
membership.
“If we don’t get enough young people into Rotary, then Rotary
will die,” RI President Bill Boyd told the newest regional Rotary
International membership coordinators (RRIMCs) at their training
seminar in March. “We take young people and give them that Rotaract
experience and then tell them, Go away — come back in 10
years.”
Youth program alumni rarely make the transition into Rotary, a
pattern that many consider a missed opportunity. After all,
participants in Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards,
Rotary Youth Exchange, and Group Study Exchange are selected
because they represent the best of the best in their age group.
Many are sponsored by Rotarians or The Rotary Foundation to travel
abroad, where they learn about the organization and develop
exceptional leadership skills. About 84 percent of current RI and
Foundation educational program participants say they would like to
join Rotary someday. Still, most of them are not invited to
join.
“There are many clubs [in England] who say, ‘Why would they want
to join us? We are not working, we’re older and set in our ways,’
rather than trying to make their club attractive to younger
people,” says RRIMC John Hockin, of the Rotary Club of Woodhall
Spa, England. And some Rotarians in Europe and Japan believe that
young people don’t have enough professional experience to be
Rotarians.
In other parts of the world, young professionals are actually
reshaping the business landscape, which gives current Rotarians
another incentive to recruit them. “In India, more and more youth
are getting into business,” says Ramachandran Ganapathi, a member
of the RI Membership Development and Retention Committee and the
Rotary Club of Madras-T. Nagar, India. He notes that this trend,
combined with the country’s rapid economic growth, means tomorrow’s
leaders will be younger than ever before. “As the IT [information
technology] sector booms, we try to make Rotary attractive to its
leaders.”
Sam F. Owori, of the Rotary Club of Kampala, Uganda, says clubs
in his district use Rotaract as a recruiting tool. “Many
Rotaractors know more about Rotary than the Rotarians,” Owori says.
Rotaractors around age 30 begin visiting Rotary clubs in their area
to determine which one they would feel most comfortable joining.
“They join [Rotaract] with their sights set on becoming Rotarians,”
he says.
Although recruiting younger members is crucial to ensuring a
strong future for Rotary, many RRIMCs point out that seasoned
members are still the backbone of the organization. They bring both
knowledge and resources to their clubs, and older members,
especially retirees, often have more time than younger members to
devote to service projects, not to mention a wealth of business
savvy to pass on.
Because demographics and cultural norms vary by region, there’s
no single best way to attract younger members. But if you’re
concerned about the future of Rotary in your area, take a look at
your local business community and compare it with your club. Do
they reflect the same picture? If not, raise the issue with club
leadership for discussion. Your club might consider supporting one
of Rotary’s youth programs or keeping better tabs on youth program
alumni for future recruitment. Also, stay aware of volunteer
trends, and keep an eye on other organizations in your region. Is
there a young professionals group that potential Rotarians flock to
over your club?
Finally, try to picture your club 10 years from now. Who will be
in charge? Will the club still be a pillar in your community? Get
everyone involved in keeping your club relevant. After all, the
next 100 years are up to you.

-
In 1998 she joined the Real Estate Developers’ Association of
Singapore (REDAS) managing housing developers and their issues with
Government agencies.
During her stint with REDAS, Rtn Daisy was also managing the
Singapore branch of the International Real Estate Federation
(FIABC) and also in charge of helping to draft the “Building
Maintenance Common Property Act” and the “Design and Build
Contract”
And also serves on the Construction Industry Joint
Committee.
In 2005 she left REDAS to join American Express to manage their
logistics arm based in Intel Penang, Malaysia and Shanghai,
China.
Rtn Daisy brings with her a database with property specialists
in Singapore and the relevant government agencies, media and
professionals in the region.
Rtn. Daisy humorously put the audience at ease with her mantra “
IT is dead, REIT is alive”. The fact that initially Rtn Lawrance
Annies’s computer didn’t quite check out lend credence to her swipe
at IT (perhaps our Lawrance would like to prove her wrong when he
gives us a talk!).
Daisy said that her move to KL from Singapore has been a
challenge. Her work with Corporate Real Estate in Singapore didn’t
quite prepare her for the cultural differences and she has since
adapted nicely into the local scenes and nuances. She sidestepped
from elaborating by saying simply “you know” (how things are being
done locally) and that whereas in Singapore things are mainly
transparent. Her audience seems to understand what she meant.
Her forte is marketing and that includes rehabilitating
properties that have fallen behind and needs rebranding and
refurbishing to position them to be successful again. Her company
is well positioned on both sides of the causeway to be able to
provide “one-stop” services to those seeking good investment.
She conceded that Singapore is a more volatile market but there
is money to be made as its an island state and the land resources
is limited. This is in contrast to the vast land available here and
it was somewhat of a shock to her when she first arrived here.
However she was quick to point out that Malaysia is a better place
to retire.
She showed a few slides of properties her company handle on both
sides of the causeway and invited those interested to contact her.
Her final slide was that of a reclining lady in swimsuit on a
rooftop swimming pool which she said was to “wake” up her audience.
That was no need to as she has managed, in her own happy funny sort
of way, to play down the fact that she is a director of her company
here with the necessary experience to help investors.
Her vocational talk gave the Club a chance to get to know her
better and PDG KB Lee would certainly agree as he was amongst those
who spoke to her after the meeting. Pity that this time around Rtn.
BRENDA had taken ill but one can look forward to her giving her own
vocational talk another time.
DIALYSIS CENTRES
It appears that PP Sam has again challenged Pudu Rotary Club to
raise funds for another DIALYSIS CENTRE, this time in KLANG NORTH
where recently survey shows that there is an urgent need for a
dialysis center there.
Dialysis machines are indispensable to dialysis patients and
daily these centers are performing life saving services to those in
need.
Thus far Pudu Rotary Club has raised about 2 million ringgit to
fund dialysis machines which have been placed in centers in Klang,
Rawang, Raub and Shah Alam.
The St. John Ambulans Malaysia has approached Pudu Rotary Club
for assistance and Pudu Rotary Club hopes to set up a new center in
Klang North sometime in year 2011.
SURELY SUCH A WORTHY CAUSE DESERvES EvERYBODY’S SUPPORT?
So, don’t fade into the corner when SAM approaches you for
assistance!
GOOD NEW!
PP PHANG’s recent delicate operation for stones in the gall
bladder is successful albeit a little delicate.
He needs a lot of rest, good cheers and will be absent from our
Club till the end of this year for full recuperation.
We wish him well and look forward to seeing him soon at the Club
meetings.
The Editor misses his help and is grateful to all Pudu Rotarians
besides the Editorial Board, who willingly come forward to assist
when called upon.

Editorial PP Quah Sek Cheng President’s Message Leong Choy
Ying
Re-energizing Pudu Rotary Club
“We take Pudu Rotary Club as our benchmark”. This was told to me
by a fellow president from another club. Similar comments are often
heard when we meet up with other club members at District
functions.
While our Club has been, and still is recognised projects, great
fellowship and effective administration within District 3300, I
cannot help but feel that we have settled into a certain “routine”
in our activities. In recent years, each succeeding presidents have
had a list of “must be done” projects to be carried out in their
Rotary calendar. While I am grateful that it has provided a tried
and tested structure in the running of our club, some of our
members may begin to experience “service fatigue” as the same
projects has been repeated for many years.
I believe it is an opportune time for Pudu Rotary Club to do
some self assessment and re-evaluate our club’s focus for the next
3-5 years. From there, we could prioritize and re-align our efforts
to serve those focus areas more effectively.
The best forum for us to brainstorm and share our ideas will be
during the up-coming first Club Assembly for RY2010/2011 to be held
on 21 August 2010 from 6.30pm at PDG Paul Lee’s residence. I urge
all PRC members to come and play your part and share your vision on
the future of our Club.
Have we been cruising along too contentedly? Are some of us
operating an “auto-pilot” mode? Personally, I think we have scope
to do an upgrade on our engines so as to re-energize Pudu Rotary
Club.
Our DG Lim Kok Beng wrote this in our 44th Installation
magazine: “What we need most is more forward-thinking, strategic
direction for the future of our clubs and districts, strategy that
is well thought out, communicated and implemented. That is what
Rotary needs.”
In Rotary Service,President RY 2010/2011
“ I have always thought its important to bear in mind that
Rotary is a voluntary organization, composed of people who are all
themselves leaders. When addressing such an audience, I have never
thought it fitting to exhort or demand. Every Rotary club is and
must be autonomous: The leadership of Rotary International exists
not to control, but to motivate and guide.
And so when we in Rotary speak about the importance of
membership, I believe it of the utmost importance to bear in mind
that the PRIMARY EXPERIENCE of Rotary, for the overwhelming
majority of Rotarians, IS OF THE CLUB: of club meetings, club
projects, and fellow club members.
When Paul Harris began the first Rotary club 104 years ago, he
did not initially think of service. Instead, he had in mind a place
where people of good character, intelligence, and morals could
enjoy other’s fellowship. The service came later, as a natural
outgrowth of the gathering of people.
Every good Rotarian, every member who shares our core values,
will make a club that much stronger, and that much more attractive
for others to join. Unfortunately, it is also the case that
bringing in the wrong person can have the opposite effect.
Rotarians are and must be people of a certain caliber – people with
the capacity to do great deeds, the sense to do them wisely, and
the strength of character to do them honestly as well.
In the end, I believe that the best way to bring new members
into Rotary is the way it has been done for generations: One member
invites a carefully chosen friend, client, or colleague to a
meeting and, if the match is a good one, proposes that individual
for membership. This is the way that our clubs remain harmonious;
it is the way that new clubs become old clubs, and new members
become Rotarians for life. And as long as we all do our jobs well,
and bring in new members carefully, this is a security we in Rotary
will never lack “
The above is penned by the then R.I. President John Kenny
(2009/2010) and remind us always to keep in mind the core values of
Rotary and Rotary Membership.
Membership growth and development is necessary to ensure that
the ideals of Rotary can be carried out successfully. Every year
our Club targets the month of August to explain and hopefully
interest members from the general public, who have the wish to
contribute their part to society, to come forward and join the
family of Pudu Rotary Club and become a member of a worldwide
organization where one values service above everything else.
