The Diamond: And Another Wave is in Pursuit

Yet, another wave is in pursuit, advancing doggedly as our book sales confidently forge ahead.













“The Diamond in Your Speech” is really moving along nicely and I, for one, am thankful for the support we’ve received!

I don’t think I’m laying it on thick if I say that you’re not into public speaking if you don’t know the two authors. After all, they are pretty well-known among local public speaking circles.


Ahmad Fakhri, of course, is a very familiar figure among Toastmasters in Malaysia and if I may add, elsewhere too – and undeniably, he is an articulate speaker and which makes him an absolute joy to listen to. 

Victor Ong on the other hand, is prominent for his hypersonic pace of speeches he presented during his Toastmasters days of yore. It’s no mean feat to deliver 880 assignment speeches from 109 manuals over a span of 4,292 days! That’s one speech every 4.88 days! 

I really don’t know if it is a mere coincidence – but out of the blue, my post “The Cockroach Speech” [https://helpvictor.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-story-of-cockroach.html] published on April 01, 2014 gets massively noticed (again)! As of now, 783 views!

Maybe, I’m being checked out! You just never know!

For those who know me, I’ve started my journey as a public speaker when I joined Toastmasters in 2008 and stayed on for eleven years and nine months. I’m still very much involved in public speaking – but now, it’s under different guises. World Speech Day, World Speakers’ Coalition and KEPENTAS. 

So, this book “The Diamond in Your Speech” which we’ve both conceived is our joint initiative to put pen to paper the lessons we’ve learned and the experiences we’ve gone through over very many years of public speaking. 

We have no doubt that it will appeal to anybody who has an interest in public speaking. A diamond of a book that is both informative and educational. And an easy read too. So, go on and get a copy if you haven’t!
