Najib Razak has decided to give his support for the Saudi action to send troops to troubled Bahrain – read my posting yesterday. The Saudis justify this by saying they were safeguarding stability and security in that country.
Meaning, the Saudis are defending reactionary forces as represented by Bahrain's ruling Al Khalifa family Of course, the Saudis are no different too!
Anyway, what has this got to do with Malaysia?
Last evening, I was at the Taman Indrahana Toastmasters meeting, together with twenty-eight other people, and including distinguished Toastmasters: Dr. William Lau (MIHRM), Marcus Chee (MIA), Chan Siew Peng (D’Utama Advanced) and Eu Choi San (Premier Advanced) – these guests jazzing up an already lively proceeding.
It was a fun meeting – more so because LeAnn Tang was the Toastmaster-of-the-Evening. What was also special yesterday was the fact that we heard 3 good speeches (thanks to Karen Sze Tho, Lim Thian Seng and Yeoh Cheng Lim); so too were the evaluations (thanks to Jade Lim, Chrristine Ngiam and Dr. Devi Menon) – now this is something that doesn’t happen often!
It demonstrates that we have depth of quality in our ranks. But more importantly, not only do we genuinely provide a supportive environment for our members but that our meetings are immensely enjoyable.
In fact, one of our newest members, Jean herself said last night that she looked forward to attending Toastmasters meetings so much that she wished we had meetings every week! An unintended compliment that is very close to the truth!
