Visit to Kuching!

23th December 2009
As the President , I took a flight to Kuching , Sarawak this morning , having the thought of meeting with the International Director Hjh Ellis Suriati and not to miss the Kuching Leos which is from another District. Lion Marcus and Leo Jonathan from Leo Club of Penang City (O) tagged along as well. We took the 9.45 a.m flight and reach at about 11.15 a.m. It was a tiring journey but what comes next definitely worth the wait. Later , we checked in to the hotel and went straight ahead over to the International Director Hjh Ellis Suriati's office. Once there , we had some great conversation with her and even had lunch together.

We had a great time with them. We went back for a bath and head straight to Four Points Hotel to meet up with some of the Kuching Leos for a fellowship dinner. It was great having to know them as they are extremely friendly and nice.

Pictures , Pictures , Pictures!

Picture again!

The day was very hectic but it's worth it. New places , new foods and new FRIENDS! What more can i say?! Well , we stopped by at some typical food centre for supper before leaving for our hotel and hit our sack!

Fellowship Fellowship Fellowship... Yes! As we're here in Damansara Perdana , PJ , it'll be weird if we don't get out and have some fun , right?

We took this opportunity to try out the ever-frightening ' Challenger' and not to mention , 'THE VORTEX'!!

MORE NEWS FROM US COMING SOON!

Malaysian Celebrities Go Green - Keep Our Sg Kinta Clean

8th September 2009.

On this very day, some 60 Perak Leos from various and numerous clubs gathered to join in the fun as Baki Zainal, Dina, Azizi Zakaria, and Soo Wincci cleaned up Perak's renowned river, the Kinta River!!! From Anderson alone, 10 odd members took the time to help clean up the river banks in this momentous event.  Among the discarded waste collected from the river are plastic bags, broken bottles, old tyres, old jeans and sizablepieces of wood. After the clean-up operation, a tiny army of plants were planted to sustain the surrounding greenery. The aftermath also proved fruitful, as the Leos were able to discuss their future projects and plans all together.

The Famous Four, making headlines

A note from the editor:

Cleaning up Sungai Kinta isn't the easiest of jobs. This gigantic river sprawls through 4 districts and runs for a good 100km, and is fed by 11 tributaries all over the state. A sporadically cleaner Kinta would require a dedicated professional task force leading operations to complete this epic task.

Will you, my fellow Leos, take a step forward, put a hand, open and extended, to push forward this movement, to push forward the betterment of our community? I leave this question unanswered, but I am certain it will be apparent, twenty, thirty years forward. Whether we put our Lion's spirit into this effort. Our effort.

Cross Regional Joint Visit To the 'Little Sisters of the Poor' In Penang

25 November 2009.

Yes! Instead of spending our school holidays having vacations, hanging out with friends or even wasting time slacking at home, 5 members from LCOA decided to organize an old folks visit to the 'Little Sisters of the poor' located in Penang. We want to thank Leo Club of Penang Chinese Girl High School, Leo Club of Union High School, Leo Club of Penang City, Leo Club of Chung Ling High School, Leo Club of Convent Datuk Keramat and Lion Marcus Loh from Lions Club of Ipoh Metro New Century for joining us in the visit!

The sole purpose of this visit was to appreciate the senior citizens so that when we become senior citizens, we'll be appreciated by society. The support and help from the local Leo's and guidance from an experienced Lion made the visit a successful and memorable visit!

There is no such thing such as communication difficulty because of the age gap.

After the visit, the Leo's decided to have lunch feasting on the famous 'Laksa' of Penang and Leo Him Keat of Penang City (the one wearing blue on the left) was so carried away indulging in the Laksa that he didn't even notice that a group picture was being taken. That's how nice is the Laksa of Penang :)

Below is a video of a last minute performance to the folks during lunch!
