Thank God!

This was a photo that was taken on November 23 of this year: The HICT Toastmasters Club 2009/2010. Of this group of 12, only 5 are chartered members: Mike Cheang, Alan Tan, Tan Wai How, Mathew Varughese, and Victor Ong. Despite what the naysayers say, this club continues to flourish and thrive. As an Immediate Past President, I am heartened that we overcame all obstacles, that we did not fold, that we survived.

It’s a joke when Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Ahmad Said Hamdan quit suddenly and prematurely (his last day is December 31, 2009). It became a farce when he went to the press (i.e. New Sunday Times) to tell Malaysians that “I wasn’t forced out”; even though he had only five months to go (his contract of service ends on May 25, 2010) and certainly not because of any political pressure (New Sunday Times, December 06, 2009, p 1).
