The Rotary Club of Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

Dear Fellow Rotarians:

I welcome this opportunity to congratulate and extend my best wishes to all the officers of your club elected to serve in 2001-02. Your fellow Rotarians have shown theirconfidence in choosing you to lead the club during the coming year. During 2001-02, I am asking all Rotarians to conduct the business of Rotary by working to meet theever-growing needs for Rotary service in our communities and our world. To accomplish this goal, it is essential that we continue to bring in new members,especially those individuals who are seeking a way to use their talents and experienceto help others.

This year, I would like you to help your club focus on the following key issues:

• Increasing Rotary’s membership by bringing in members and sponsoring new clubs;

• Undertaking new community service projects;

• Undertaking new international service projects; and

• Enhancing Rotary’s public image in the community and throughout the world

by your commitment to the business of Rotary.

Thank you for your commitment to your own Rotary club and to Rotary International. The dedication of Rotary clubs and individual Rotarians in support of these key issues will ensure a future for Rotary that is bright with possibilities. In declaring thatMankind Is Our Business, we are making a commitment to all of humanity - a commitment that will ultimately transform the lives of both those who needRotary’s humanitarian service and those of us who are privileged to offer it.

With warm regard.

Sincerely

Richard D KingRI President 2001-02

Dear Rotarians and Guests

Congratulations to President K C Chu and her team for the honour to lead the RotaryClub of Kelana Jaya during 2001-02.

What does Rotary mean to me ....I suppose it depends on whom you ask:

to some .... it’s a chance to runto some .... it’s a clean fresh cup of water.

to others a way to provide food for the familiesto some .... it’s a chance to learn a skill or a discipline

to others a way to experience a culture and its peopleto some ... it’s a way to make their community a better place to live

to others a way to improve the quality of life for all humanityto some ... it’s a way to live peaceably with their neighbours

to others a way to promote peace in the world.Rotary is a miracle as small as one tiny drop of vaccine in a child’s mouth and as

big as peace and prosperity for our planet.Personally, I think it requires an incredible investment of our time and energy that

offers unlimited returns. For the recipient it can be the promise of a future filled withhope; for the donor, the assurance of fulfilment and probability of grace.

While in this Rotary’s 85th year it is tempting to savour its rich and brilliant past; for most people Rotary is and will remain ....

a pathway to the future.

Past Rotary International Director Robert Cerwin

Are you a Rotarian? If you are not we would like to welcome you. Ask one of theRotarians on your table or in the hall.

You can join us to make the world a better place to live in because MANKIND IS OURBUSINESS .

Yours in Rotary

Leslie Yeap

Welcome to the 11th installation of the President and Board of Directors of the RotaryClub of Kelana Jaya.

Rotary is foremost about service, and in the last twelve months, the club hasundertaken many worthwhile, beneficial projects. If the journey, rather than thedestination, is the reward, then it has been an exhilarating odyssey for me and I havebeen recompensed beyond measure. Whilst it is natural for the president, as the club’sfigurehead, to be credited with the club’s success, I can honestly say we would haveachieved nothing if not for the collective effort of all our members. For theirenthusiastic support of the club and Rotary, I offer my grateful thanks. We have triedto live up to our motto for 2000-01, CREATE AWARENESS, TAKE ACTION .

Leadership is nevertheless an essential quality if a club is to progress, and I know thatunder the presidency of K C Chu, we have a dynamic leader and the Rotary Club ofKelana Jaya is well poised to reach greater heights in service to the community.

Finally, let me thank all those involved in the organization of this evening’s function. They have invested considerable time and effort to make this Installation an enjoyableone. My sincere appreciation also to all our sponsors and other well wishers whosesupport is so important to us.

Yours sincerely

Dear Fellow Rotarians and Friends,

G reetings and a very warm Welcome! My deepest appreciation to our Guest- of- Honour,District Governor Dr Low Teong, First Lady Jackie, gracious guests, the OrganisingChairman and committee, each and everyone of you for your presence, support, andgenerous contributions.

The fantastic Past ‘Gentleman’ Presidents, with your support had once steered thisrelatively youthful Club through stormy seas. However for the past many years, like a sail boat we had cruised surely and steadily through in many of our endeavours. Of late, we often wanted, as at the sudden occurrence of a grave tempest, to change thehelmsman - to replace the pilot of the calm by the pilot of the storm. With this came theelection of the Club’s first ‘lady’ President. This is indeed a great privilege and honourfor me. With all your relentless support, my team and I will surely have a go, yes, we will have a go and hope to sail smoothly on with you by our side.

Our theme this year is aptly: MANKIND IS OUR BUSINESS .

In line with our theme, we plan to implement several new projects including twoMatching Grant Projects; to set up and equip an education/information centre toenable children on cancer treatment some form of continuation in education while in ahospital ward and to set up and equip a resource and training centre for carers andChildren with Special Needs to facilitate their social, educational and medicalmanagement at a teaching hospital. With the generous sponsorship of Pan MalaysianPools, we will continue our meaningful project; Klinik Kebajikan Rotary.

Lastly, may we always emulate the great tradition of our predecessors in joining handsand experience the joy of sharing Rotary with others. In this difficult financial climate,to be able to rise above our own personal trials and tribulations to serve mankind givesan even more profound meaning to Rotary and its cause.

Sincerely,

K C Chu PHF

We have the distinction of having oneof the highest ratios of women Rotarians in our district.

We took several measures to increase membership. An articleon membership development appeared in every issue of ourweekly bulletin, The Shuttle. Guest Evenings were held on 24August and 15 June at which members invited guests toattend our meeting. In April, we formed a MembershipDevelopment sub-committee to look into ways and means ofincreasing our membership.

It is with re g ret that I re c o rd that a former member andpast president of the club, Alwin Daniel, passed away on 17July 2000.

ATTENDANCE

PP Lee Seng Tong was Attendance Chairman. The club’saverage attendance from July 2000 to May 2001 was 90%.This is again a re c o rd. Within the district, we were ranked 5thout of 57 clubs. High attendance is the sign of an active cluband this is one of the achievements we are most proud of.

For this year, we have 14 members who achieved 100%attendance. Our “One-Hundred Percenters” are:

One highlight was that during our regular meeting on 8 March, every single member was present. In celebration,PP Lee Seng Tong, bought beer for everyone.

ROTARY INFORMATION

Rotary information continued to be given out both duringour weekly meetings as well as in The Shuttle.

During Rotary Awareness Month in January, Rtn LynnAbdullah with assistance from President Leslie Yeapconducted a Rotary Quiz for the benefit of our members.

PUBLIC RELATIONS

There was an exhibition about Rotary and our club held in conjunction with the Sweet Charity children’s concertin September.

The club received considerable publicity in the press for its various projects. Copies of newspapers articles arereproduced separately under “RCKJ In The News” . This isprobably the most publicity our club has ever received in one

Rotary year.

News about our pro j e c t swas also regularly publishedin the District Govern o r’smonthly Newsletter.

In an attempt to raise theimage of our club among the public as well as toother Rotarians, our clubhas this year introduced aclub logo. “Kelana” is theroyal Malay headdress andour logo is a stylisedversion of it. In the samevein, we have this year

adopted a club t-shirt which we will wear to all our pro j e c t s .This will help us to maintain a sense of identity. By popularchoice, the t-shirt will be yellow.

GENERAL

Pre-PETS

One of the major undertakings by the club this year was to organise what is called the “Pre-PETS”. “PETS” is thePresident-elect Training Seminar and are held every year. Forthe first time this year, our District organised the Pre-PETS,two preliminary seminars for Presidents-elect. These wereheld on 26 to 27 August 2000 at the Eastin Hotel, PetalingJaya and from 17 to 18 March 2001 at the GoldcourseHotel, Klang. Presidents-elect from almost every one of the57 clubs in District 3300 attended. I had the honour of being the organising chairman for this project and thank

Eleven members together with their spouses attended theDistrict Assembly in Ipoh from 4 to 6 May 2001.

Donation by Aussino Malaysia Sdn Bhd

Aussino Malaysia, a company dealing in home furnishings, kindly agreed to donate part of the proceeds of its annual sale to our club. These funds will prove very helpful when we come to organise our 10th club anniversary in January2002, which it is hoped, will also be a membershipdevelopment event and an occasion when we can publiciseRotary to the public.

VOCATIONAL AWARDS

Rotary believes in the worthiness of all useful professions and occupations. In an attempt to recognise those who haverendered exemplary service in their occupations, the clubpresents its annual Vocational Awards. This year, the clubpresented two Vocational Awards to deserving people on 19October. The first recipient was Ms Janet Yeo, the founder ofthe National Stroke Association of Malaysia. Although shesuffered a stroke, she battled against the odds towardsrecovery and then formed this association to aid and supportother stroke victims.

The second award was given to Ms Santhara Devi, the DeputyD i rector of the Bethany Home in Teluk Intan. She has beenattached to the home for many years and has dedicated herlife towards the welfare of the children at the home.

FACTORY VISIT

A “Factory Visit” is a visit to a place of work. The purpose isto help us better understand how a particular business orindustry really operates. It does not have to be an actualfactory. On 14 April, several Rotarians visited the RubberResearch Institute Research Station in Sungei Buloh. We werebriefed on many aspects of the rubber industry. We had a

chance to see how bud grafting was done, as well as rubbertapping. After some refreshments, we visited the RRI’s factoryw h e re we learnt how rubber is pro c e s s e d . The highlight of thetrip was a visit to the International Rubber ProductsExhibition Centre. This is a very modern and high-techcentre which exhibits a vast range of rubber products.

After that, we visited a factory which manufactures acultured milk drink in Subang. We were briefed on thebenefits of the drink and then given a tour of the factory.Many Rotarians took the opportunity to purchase thedrinks. My thanks to Rtn Peggy Lee for organising thefactory visit.

VOCATIONAL SERVICE CASE STUDY

Rtn Manfred Faehndrich conducted the case study. The casestudy involved a hypothetical situation where an employerhas to deal with a long-serving employee whose skills werebecoming outdated. Rotarians discussed how the problempresented in the study could best be resolved so as to be fairto all concerned.

TALK ON VOCATIONAL SERVICE

Assistant Governor DGE Dr N Lakshmanan gave aninteresting talk on Vocational Service during our weeklymeeting on 5 October. He emphasized the importance ofVocational Service and advised how we could carry out moreeffective Vocational Service projects.

CLASSIFICATION TALK

A classification talk is a talkby a Rotarian about his own business or pro f e s s i o n .The purpose of such talks isto enable other Rotarians tobetter appreciate the workof our fellow Rotarians.One of our newer members,Rtn Lim Choon Lam, whois an accountant, gave such a talk on “Consultancy Serv i c e s ”during our weekly meeting on 1 March 2001.

TALKS FOR AUTISM ASSOCIATIONS

President-elect K C Chu gave talks to two associations forparents of autistic children during February. As an orthoptist,K C was qualified to talk about the types of vision problemsfaced by these children and how best to deal with it.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE 4-WAY TEST

The 4-Way Test is a benchmark whichRotarians use in their business andprofessional lives to guide their actions. In June, we made rulers printed with the 4-Way Test and distributed them tovarious schools, free of charge. My thanksto PP K W Wong for organising thisproject.

MICRO-CREDIT PROJECT FOR SINGLE MOTHERS

Although still at an early stage, the club is looking into the feasibility of carrying out a micro-credit lending project. The idea is to give small loans to single mothers so that they can start some useful employment from home. Many single mothers are unable to work because they are house-bound. Rtn Benjamin Quinones, who isprofessionally engaged in micro-credit financing, is in charge, and if the plan is workable, we hope to carry it outduring the next Rotary year.

Classification Talk by Rotarian LimChoon Lam

Community Service is said to be the heart-beat ofR o t a ry. During Rotary year 2000-2001, the RotaryClub of Kelana Jaya carried out many CommunityS e rvice projects. It is my pleasure to inform you of them.

HEPATITIS B IMMUNIZATION PROJECT

Our major Community Service project this year was theHepatitis B Immunization Project. Organising Chairman wasPP Khoo Swee Keng. The project was officially launched by District Governor Dr R T Arasu on 23 July 2001 at the SRJK Tamil, Rubber Research Institute, Sungei Buloh. Thiswas a Matching Grant project meaning that part of thefunding for the project was given by Rotary International.Three doses of the vaccine are given, stretching over sixmonths. The final dose was administered at the school on 11 February 2001.

We also arranged for several other Rotary clubs to part i c i p a t ein the project. They were the Rotary Clubs of Kota B h a ru, Bernam Va l l e y, Port Klang and Bandar Sunway. In August, several of our members visited the Rotary Club of Kota Bharu to witness the launch of the project t h e re. Together with children immunized under an earlierphase of the project, over 2,300 children were immunizedagainst hepatitis B. In scale, this project was the largest and most ambitious project undertaken in our club’s history. The project won an Outstanding Project Aw a rd for Community Serv i c e .

VISTAS OF VISION

This is another project that obtained a CommunityService Outstanding ProjectAward. It was a project co-organised by PP Lee SengTong and P resident-elect K C Chu. We arranged with an eye care centre, Vista Laser Eye Center, toperform cataract operationsf ree of charge . Eachoperation would normally cost about RM3,000-00. Vista presented a mock cheque to the club for R M 1 5 0 , 0 0 0 - 0 0on the basis that it would carry out 50 operations.

An official launch was held on 20 January at the Eastin Hotel,Petaling Jaya. The guest of honour was Deputy Minister of Health, Dato Seri Suleiman bin Mohamed. In addition, we were privileged to have with us District Governor Dr Arasu, Past District Governors Mustapha Ma, Dr Ganesanand David Ho, as well as Assistant Governor DrLakshmanan. To-date, eight patients have been successfullyoperated on.

This project was also included in an exhibition of pre v e n t a b l eblindness projects that was held at Sungei Wang Plaza inM a rch. The project was also exhibited during a district interc i t ymeeting in Kuala Lumpur and at the District Assembly in Ipoh.Details of the project are highlighted in the District’sP reventable Blindness Eye Care Projects website located ath t t p : / / w w w. g e o c i t i e s . c o m / ro t a ry preventable blindness/

FREE OUTPATIENT CLINIC

The club operates a free outpatient clinic or the FOC in Kampong Baiduri, Petaling Jaya. It has been in operation nowfor more than six years. The funding for the clinic is genero u s l ydonated by Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd, and we appre c i a t etheir gesture of increasing their sponsorship this year.

To commemorate the 6th anniversary of the FOC, we held a satay party at the clinic, attended by DistrictGovernor Dr Arasu, Ms Ranjit Kaur of Pan Malaysian Poolsand other guests. The club also presented mementos to thevolunteers who help to operate the clinic.

The FOC committee has also been meeting regularly todiscuss matters relating to the clinic. My thanks to all whohave helped out with the clinic in one way or another, and in

The club also carried out an Influenza vaccination project. We visited the Carey Senior Citizens Centre on 3 December2001 where we vaccinated about 40 elderly people. Dr Tryphena Liau of SmithKline Beecham also gave a shorttalk on influenza.

On 17 January, the club carried out another round of vaccinations, this time at the Evergreen Senior CitizensClub in Petaling Jaya. We vaccinated 32 senior citizens there.

Vaccines were sponsored by SmithKline Beecham. It alsodonated vaccines for use at our FOC and we arranged for it to supply 100 vaccines to the Rotary Club of Kota Bharuso that they could carry out a similar project there.

MEDICAL OUTREACH

It has become a tradition for our club to carry out a jointmedical healthcheck project every year with our buddy club,the Rotary Club of Port Klang. This year, we went to Kampong Seri Perantau Fasa II, near Port Klang. The residents there are principally workers at the port and live in long houses. About 300 to 350 people were checked. We

had three volunteerdoctors present. Thec h i l d ren were alsogiven deworm i n gm e d i c i n e . In addition,PP K W Wo n g ’s Ann, Chua and othervolunteers, gave dentald e m o n s t r ations to thec h i l d ren on the pro p e rc a re of their teeth.

This project wasmade possible by a generous grantf rom Pan- MalaysianPools Sdn Bhd andI wish to againrecord our club’sthanks for its support .

This year,the club, in consultation with the Kuala Lumpur GeneralHospital and its visitors board, set up a Patients’ ResourceCentre or Pusat Sumber Pesakit within the psychiatric wardof the hospital. We furnished the room that was allocatedwith a sofa set, tables and book shelves. We also supplied a 21” television, a VCD player and many VCDs.

AID TO MOZAMBIQUE FLOOD VICTIMS

This project, which we carried out together with the Rotary Club of Port Klang, was largely completed in theprevious Rotary year under the presidency of IPP EdwardPon. However, in was only in September 2000 that wereceived confirmation from the Rotary Club of Maputo that the clothes have indeed arrived and been distributed to those in need. All this after some lengthy delays caused byred tape in Mozambique.

This project is of special significance to the club not onlybecause it was the first project which we have conductedwith a club in Africa, but also because it won the District Best International Service Project Award for 2000-2001.President Leslie Yeap had the honour of receiving the award on behalf of the club from the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, during the District Assembly in Ipoh. I wish to especially thank Rtn Josephine Pang whose idea itwas in the first place to commit the club to this project. Other key members were Rtn Jeffrey Lim, Angie Ng, PP K WWong and VP Peggy Lee.

CARING ACROSS CONTINENTSPIANO RECITA L

Our club also hostedthe whole team for dinner during the club’s Chinese New Ye a rfellowship on 29 January held at President Leslie Ye a p ’sresidence. It was unfortunate that the team members werebasically unable to speak English and this affected both ourability to get to know each other.

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION

The Rotary Foundation (or TRF) is Rotary International’scharity foundation. Through TRF, Rotary is able to finance many worthwhile humanitarian and educationalprogrammes. It is a responsibility of each Rotarian tocontribute to the foundation and this is usually done bycontribution for the Paul Harris Fellow and the RotaryFoundation Sustaining Member citations

Rotarian Chow Chee Phing, who was only inducted inNovember, made a US$1,000-00 contribution to The RotaryFoundation and obtained his Paul Harris Fellow. Elevenother Rotarians also contributed US$100-00 each towards

ROTARACT

The Rotaractors put up some entertainment for thefellowship dinner during our club’s Pre-PETS I. They alsooften attend our weekly meetings and this is an opportunityfor us to keep in touch with what they are doing. TheRotaractors saw a change of president and some boardmembers mid-way through the year. This was due to somemembers going overseas to pursue their studies andregrettably, this affected the plans of the club to some extent.

We provided a subsidy to the Rotaractors for payment of the registration fees to attend the District RotaractConference in Ipoh in April. The Rotarian adviser to theRotaract Club of Kelana Jaya was IPP Edward Pon.

INTERACT

The club sponsored an additional Interact Club this year, theInteract Club of Sri Inai which received its charter on 8August 2000. The other club sponsored by us is the InteractClub of SMK Kelana Jaya. The Rotarian adviser to IC SMKKelana Jaya was PP K W Wong while Rtn Lynn Abdullahwas the adviser to IC Sri Inai.

The club sponsored four Interactors each from the InteractClub of Kelana Jaya and the Interact Club of Sri Inai toattend the District Interact Conference in Seremban. TheInteractors also helped to look after the children during theSweet Charity concert. Several Interactors from Sri Inai alsotook part in the visit to the Rimba Ilmu mentioned below.

SERVERotary is an international humanitarian service organization. The men and women of Rotaryare business and professional leaders who volunteer their time and resources to help others intheir local communities and throughout the world.

Rotary clubs carry out a variety of service projects that address critical issues including poverty,hunger, illiteracy, substance abuse, and pollution. Service to youth, especially children at risk, is a major emphasis. Working with and for tomorrow’s leaders, Rotary sponsors service clubs for youth and young adults and offers career development and mentoring programs.

INNOVATEWhere need exists, Rotary works to find solutions. Nonpolitical and nongovernmental, Rotaryclubs are autonomous and create innovative solutions to meet community needs.

Rotary members improve the quality of life through routine child immunization projects,medical and dental clinics, and the construction of safe water and sanitation systems. Clubs alsowork for peaceful communities by organizing violence-prevention projects.

Rotarians attack the problem of illiteracy through programs that strengthen primary, vocationaland adult education, and teacher training.

Whether standing at the forefront of an international health campaign or mounting a massiveliteracy initiative, Rotary rallies the toolsand know-how to successfully lead the way to change.

GIVERotary members dedicate their time, skills, expertise, and myriad other resources towardimproving the human condition.

Club members support international projects through the programs of The Rotary Foundation.The Foundation was created in 1917 for the purpose of doing good in the world, and issupported almost entirely by member contributions.

Organized by Rotary clubs in at least two countries, Rotary Foundation humanitarian grants support projects that provide healthcare and supplies, clean water, food, job training, and education — particularly in the developing world.

Large-scale Health, Hunger and Humanity(3-H) Grants support sustainable projects that helpothers help themselves.

Rotary members also contribute their technical expertise and compassion. Each year more than200 grants fund Rotary volunteers in 50 countries.

EXCHANGE

Rotary promotes cultural understanding and brings people together, even when they live worlds apart. Rotary’s exchange programs foster the free flow of ideas and opportunities across national borders.

Through Rotary, youth, scholars, and professionals experience the culture and people of anotherland — and return home to share their new understanding with others.

Some 7,000 secondary-school students participate annually in short- or long-term RotaryYouthExchanges.

The Rotary Foundation’s Ambassadorial Scholarships program is the world’s largest privatelyfunded international scholarships program. More than 30,000 students from 100 countries have studied abroad as Rotary scholars. The Group Study Exchange program pairs Rotarydistricts in different countries to send and receive non-Rotary study groups comprised of young professionals.
