First speaker Tham Yen Lai in her CC#2  speech titled, “Saving” informed us about the benefits of inculcating a saving habit with a “positive” attitude and “right thinking” in order to provide for our old age. Wonderful advice, Yen Lai!

His evaluator, Mohmmad Muslim was captivated by his rousing and stimulating speech. Thank you, Muslim!

Fourth speaker, Sam Koh in his CC#2 speech titled, “Can you click with people?” elaborated on two types of communication methods, namely, verbal and non-verbal communication with five points each which helped us to successfully establish friendship. Good advice, Sam!

You are definitely a motivational speaker, Victor!

Timer, Sheffa was very attentive and provided an excellent timing report of the whole meeting! Magnificent job, Sheffa!

The Listening Evaluator, Karren Lim produced ten immensely intricate questions whereby only Sam Koh had seven all correct answers, therefore nobody was awarded the Best Listener.  You are an excellent listener, Karren!

She hoped that all will continue in this spirit and helped our club to rise to greater heights. Thank you, Shirley!
