TRANSCRIPT
Hats UP to the DPRO Team for this issue of the newsletter!
As we excitingly entered the term 2010/11, joy surrounded the new team of
leaders to strive towards ACHIEVING GREATNESS TOGETHER. Thrilled by
what is in store, cheered by the ever-supportive members and inspired by self-
motivation, all of us took the positions courageously to serve the best we can.
This organization is all about members and their transformational journey in
becoming a competent communicator and an effective leader. Some may
choose to go at a snail pace while the rest may want to sprint to their
accomplishment. Either way is perfectly alright as every individual reserve their
right to set the pace. The paramount importance should be our self-set goals.
Having said that, without a definite time frame, we may then procrastinate –
thus giving room to weaken our momentum. Therefore, we should all strive to
draw up timelines and move on to reap the benefits of Toastmasters.
Upholding the CORE VALUES of Toastmasters International should be the
utmost important task of each and every member in the District. The Executive
Team of the district is committed in leading the members towards the
accomplishment of the CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS, which testifies the
ultimate growth of an individual in Toastmasters. Members are constantly
reminded to reflect upon the progressive stages of their track and take the
appropriate steps to ensure a timely growth.
Preaching humility in the most simplistic approach would attract the warmth and
positive energy to learn, grow and share.
Let us continue to learn as much as we can, embrace those lessons to enable
our growth, while sharing the best practices to help everyone undergo the
MAGICAL TRANSFORMATION via Toastmasters!
Join me on this HUMBLE & SIMPLE journey towards ACHIEVING
GREATNESS TOGETHER in District 51!
Your humble servant in the District,

The new term kicked off with training via the TLI team headed by Dennis Wee as the TLI Chair and Palaniappa
as the Co-Chair. The TLI team, which also comprises of Kuok Sum, Choi San and Wendy Wong, has indeed
planned and delivered a program in line with the requirements by Toastmasters International as well as
catered to the needs of the club officers. They have done a terrific job and we look forward to another inspiring
round in December.
Club leaders, have you charted your course for your clubs and started the journey yet? Please get in touch with
your Area Governors or Division Governors if there is any doubt in any area. Our main and primary concern is
our members. Let us do our best to help them realise their objectives of becoming better speakers and more
confident individuals. It is through their own personal achievements that they can say ―Yes, I have done it‖ and
continue the journey with passion in Toastmasters.
Having just returned from the Toastmasters International Convention in Palm Desert, a whole new scene at
another level has opened up for me. It has confirmed my outlook of a new dimension for the organisation. We
should never be static but keep moving. The many elderly members in their seventies and eighties at that
Convention were such an awe to behold as they came in their motorised machines or with crutches just to be
with Toastmasters. Continue to be useful to the organisation and be involved – not for position nor for power
but for the purpose which comes with it and for the members.
There is so much in life to give out of care, out of concern and out of love. Let‘s continue our journey in
Toastmasters and be generous with our care, concern and love as we help to share and shape members with a
true purpose of being there for them. Toastmasters is more than just delivering speeches and chasing points. It
is about challenging ourselves and pushing ourselves to the next level as we complete our speeches and as
we take up leadership roles. It is about stepping up and saying ―I can do it and I will do it‖.
So let‘s do it together as members of District 51.

Dear Fellow Toastmasters,
It is indeed an honour and privilege to be able to serve you as Lieutenant
Governor Education & Training for the term 2010/2011. This is even more
significant as we start the term as a new District 51 solely with clubs
concentrated in the Peninsular. I take this opportunity to thank you for your
belief and trust in me to lead in this position.

Some of the leads have turned out to be an entity thanks to the perseverance of the people behind it, whilst
some are ongoing but the people behind those leads have not given up as they continue to pursue relentlessly.
Syabas to these great people in their unwavering pursuit! With new clubs being chartered, it means a greater
number of people are able to benefit from the Toastmasters programme.
We are now fast approaching the middle of Oct 2010 and I am happy to note that 82% of the clubs in the
District have paid up their October dues. The remaining 12 % have pledged to settle their dues as soon as
possible. It is important to maintain the ―member/club in good standing‖ status to continue to enjoy the benefits
from the Toastmasters programme.
As was promised by the District, clubs who have achieved 90% renewals as at Oct 1st will be handsomely
rewarded and we are now analysing the reports to identify the clubs. Also as was mentioned earlier, the District
will be coming out with more interesting rewards for individual and club achievements, and they will be timely
revealed as we move along.
We need new blood and new clubs because when we have more together, we can achieve more. Continue to
recruit and construct, as our mission is to expose the Toastmasters programme to as many people as we can
so that they too can enjoy the benefits of the programme. In giving we receive, and in sharing we grow.
So dear members, let‘s put our shoulders to the wheel and work as a team to secure the goals that we have set
for ourselves in the quest for greatness, either as an individual or as a club.
Thank you for your support.

LGM 2010-2011
Dear Members of D51,
Warm greetings from your LGM.
Gosh, how time flies! Three solid months have passed by and it seems like only
yesterday that I assumed the LGM‘s office and portfolio. Barely warming the seat, my
senior district colleagues and I had to train as well as be trained, after which I had to
follow up with the Divisions on their progress with regards to the status of leads on new
clubs, and more importantly the October dues. Challenging but worthwhile as it gives me
the opportunity to touch base with them.
MESSAGE FROM THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR MARKETING
Dear Members of D51
Warm greetings!
I am glad that our first issue of this e-newsletter is finally out. I wish to thank my Public Relations Team in
making this possible. They had worked tirelessly in editing and publishing this piece of great work. I also wish
to thank all the contributors for submitting their articles to us. With this newsletter, we are sharing the
happenings and news in the district to all the members out there. I hope you will find this newsletter beneficial
and informative. We plan to publish three more issues of newsletters during this term. I sincerely welcome all
your feedback and we will try to improve on our shortcomings in the future editions.
Apart from this newsletter, to further enhance our communication with all of you, you can expect to receive on-
going email messages from us. This is one way the district reaches out to members like you, as we hope to
keep you better informed with all the latest developments in the district. Lots of information will also be
available to you via our District website at www.tmdistrict51.org. If you have not logged in to the website before,
it is time for you to do so. My team of webmasters are always working hard in maintaining and updating the
site. I am working to ensure the site is always up to date, without too much fancy artwork and design. Your
feedback on our website is always welcome, too.
Part of my job as the District Public Relations Officer is to engage the public to promote awareness of our
fantastic Toastmasters program. To achieve that, I need all your help to promote the awareness as well. In
fact, I know some of our officers have already been doing that, as I have seen news and articles on
Toastmasters appearing in our local media. To all these enthusiastic members, please continue to do so and
keep up with the good work.
With that, I wish all of you a great term ahead, be it taking part actively in our Toastmasters educational
program, or serving as officers at the various levels. Please make full use of your membership. Only then it will
benefit you.
Thank you very much and see you soon.
Warmest regards,

Immediate Past District 51 Governor
The 79th Toastmasters International Annual Convention was held from 11-14 August 2010 at
the Desert Springs, JW Marriott Resort and Spa, Palm Desert, California. (Approximately

The 2010-2011 year marks a change in Toastmasters‘ District Leader Training. For the first
time, the North American district leaders as in district governors and lieutenant governors
received training together with district leaders outside North America at the International
Convention; the sessions were held for two days before the Convention officially started.
The training consisted of all leaders together with break out by officer role and also into
small groupings.
Our District Leaders, District Governor Thannimalai, DTM, Lieutenant Governor Education

International Speech Contest Semi-Finals: 3.00 – 8:30pm
For the first time, Toastmasters held a semi-final speech contest at the International
Convention. This year nine contests were held , each with nine district contestants. Three
semi-final contests were run in parallel commencing 3.00 pm, 5.00 pm and 7.00 pm. The
winners of each of the nine semi-finals — representing regions from around the world —
advanced to the final round of WCPS on Saturday.
Our District Champion Stephen Fernando (2nd placing inter district contest in USA 2004)
competed in the semi-final contest 4 alongside eight other district champions including Eric
Rainey who won 3rd placing in the WCPS 2009.
Stephen Fernando despite his charm, wit and charisma was unsuccessful this time in
search for the top spot. Equally surprising was that even Eric Rainey failed in his quest.
The winner from contest 4 went to District 73 champion Linus Chang of Victoria, Australia.
Golden Gavel Dinner: 7.00pm
Honoring Carolyn Kepcher as Toastmasters‘ 2010 Golden Gavel recipient. Carolyn Kepcher

Golden Gavel Dinner on Friday evening. Kepcher rose to national prominence as Executive
Vice President of The Trump Organization and is widely known for her role on the NBC
series The Apprentice. Regarded as a tough leader in business, and in particular, women in
business, Kepcher now dispenses career advice through her column for the New York Daily
News, her business book, Carolyn 101, and her new venture, WorkHerWay.com.
The Golden Gavel, Toastmasters' highest honor, is given annually to a distinguished
individual in the fields of communication and leadership.

These sessions have vastly benefited many new club officers in terms of learning
about the direction and objectives of District 51 under the capable leadership of our
Humble and Simple District Governor, L Thannimalai DTM. They learnt about their duties as a club officer as
well as how they can make their journey of serving more interesting and fulfilling.
The sessions were not only attended by the club officers, but also by their club members. This was indeed a
valuable opportunity to help ordinary members prepare for their future roles and leadership.
Congratulations to all the elected club officers! We wish you a truly fruitful journey as a club officer. Every
challenge that comes to us along the way is a test on our leadership skills. Have fun along the way.
Remember, you are not alone - your Area Team, Division Team and District Team are always with you!
Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contests
Organising Chair: Gan Poh Lin (Kuantan TMC)
Date: 25 September 2010
Location: Kolej Putra Interlek, Puchong
Despite the wet and rainy afternoon, the ambience at the Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation contests
was warmed by the arrival of our District Governor L Thannimalai DTM, Immediate Past District Governor
Ritchie Chong DTM, Division C Governor NK Valli ACG CL, Division W Governor Vincent Hor DTM, Division M
Governor Koh Siew Keng CC ALB, District Club Extension Chair Francis Ng DTM, District Club Coach Chair
Sue Ding DTM and District Pidato Coordinator Zaharah Ibrahim DTM .
The whole afternoon started with our stylish Toastmaster of the Day, G Sivalingam DTM, leading all of us into
the exciting Humorous Speech Contest chaired by Christine Lum, followed by the Evaluation Speech Contest
chaired by Johnson Yike.
In the Humorous Speech Contest, all the five contestants never failed to tickle our funny bones. The audience
never stopped laughing all the way from the Korean Drama, how Toastmasters transformed into
Transformers, the precious Children Sex Education story, the mother-in-law lessons and the „stinky‟
but „unbelievable‟ Yunnan trip experience.
After a short break, Evaluation Contest Chair Johnson Yike took charge. The five contestants set a very serious
mood among the audience. Everyone quietly and attentively listened to our contestants one after
another. They were eager to listen and learn a skill or two from the five „Evaluation Kung Fu Masters‟
with their „Evaluation Kung Fu Skills‟. Eventually, the ‗Master of the Masters‘ in Division B Evaluation
Contest was born.
Here we go and the winners are:
Division B Club Officers Training 1

~Stories of Sacrifice and Success to Inspire ~
Division C‟s Super-charged, Hyper Proactive Clubs
The wave of Humorous Speech and Evaluation
contests has crashed on the shores of Division C with a
splash of resounding success. Our champions Margie
Sham Kaur (Humorous Speech contest) from Extol
TMC and Tan Ken Wayne (Speech Evaluation
contest) from IEM TMC, were overwhemingly
congratulated and warmly embraced on 2nd Oct 2010.
Div C Governor, NK Valli, assured both champions
that they will be given a full convention package for the
18th D51 Semi Annual Convention to be held at the KL
Legend Hotel on 29-31 Oct 2010. Now all we can do is
wait with bated breath and build a mountain of hope
that both Margie and Tan will make our Division proud.
We all know they have the aura, ammunition and
armour of a champion to stand tall.
In this edition of the District 51 newsletter, we have
many super-charged, hyper proactive and successful
clubs in Division C but we wish to feature 3 of these
clubs. All 3 achieved President‘s Distinguished status
in 2009-2010, and each of them has their own unique
success story to amaze and astound many of us
ordinary folks.
Shaklee Dynamic Family
Toastmasters Club
(Club 4391, Area C6)
On 6th of July, the club had its first
meeting for this term. The new
President, Samuel Selvaraju ACS, CL
welcomed the presence of Area C6
Governor, Jamila Khan ACS, ALB as
well as many notable members from the
Klang Valley such as Francis Ng DTM
who was the GE on that day.
As evident from the pictures below,
there were generous smiles and
helpings of goodwill all round to set the
hearts of even the most timid at ease.
Well done, Shaklee Dynamic Family
TMC!
EXTOL Toastmasters Club
(Club 4934 in Area C3)
This club leaves no avenue unexplored
to make its name reverberate with a
familiar ring within and outside Division
C. Extol is a model club with a
formidable line of 4 DTMs sitting in its
EXCO - Kwa Ngan Eng DTM(Club
President), Patricia Tan DTM, SK
Ratnam DTM (Treasurer) and Azmi
Shahrin DTM . The club constantly
weaves in innovative ways to enliven
their meetings by inviting guest
speakers from other clubs or by having
joint meetings with other clubs of
different backgrounds or age groups in
an effort to share, care and spice up
the menu. The club has groomed great
speakers like Margie Sham Kaur, the
Division C Humorous Speech
Champion. Extol has committed leaders
who have willingly served without a
whimper through thick and thin. Bravo
Extol!
Sime Darby Healthcare
Toastmasters Club
(Club 843147, Area C3)
Come this November, Sime Darby
Healthcare TMC will be 5 years old. It
was chartered in November 2005 as
SJMC Toastmasters Club. The
Chartered President was Chin Weng
Seng. For the 2009/2010 term,
President Shirley Bak CC, CL rallied the
commitment and dedication of her
EXCO members to achieve the
President‘s Distinguished Club award.
The motto adopted then was:
“Together We Succeed”. For this
2010/2011 term, the President is Kelly
Lai CC, CL.
The Club owes its success not only to
members who are constantly working
towards their goals, but also to the
contributions of visiting and seasoned
Toastmasters who are always there to
help the Club conduct quality meetings
and insightful evaluations.
So the Sime Darby Healthcare success
story has clearly exemplified that there
are no prima donnas to hog the limelight
on the borderless Toastmasters stage.
Success will come with the chemistry of
committed and collective action, shared
roles and the ―humble and simple‖ show
of appreciation to those who truly
deserve it.

Division G …… good and getting better …
… great and getting grander !!<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<.>.<>.
New-born Division G commenced the term with 18 Clubs… chartered a
new club within two months – the Monash Toastmasters Club – and
conducted Demo Meetings for three more clubs within the first quarter.
For a new-born Division, within 25% of our term period (the first three
months of July, August, and September), we have achieved:
an on-track 25% of our minimum New Clubs target;
more than 75% of our New Members target;
a good 78% in COT 1 attendance;
a creditable 85% in club renewals;
maximum 100% in TTT attendance;
another 100% in DOT attendance.
There is, however, a need to focus emphatically on current members
renewals. A 30% shortfall in individual renewals compares unfavorably
with the 20% increase that has been targeted. Likewise, there is also a
need to work much harder to achieve the goals set for educational and
leadership goals,
Interesting new programs that are in the pipeline are for a Division G
Jamboree; twinning programs with one or two other Divisions in the
central region; as well as twinning programs with one or two other
Divisions outside the central region. Two Gavel Clubs and three
vernacular clubs are also being planned, depending of course on the
support of and participation by the G Members.

TLI TRAINING SESSION AT THE NEW CLUB, TAIPINGThe Toastmasters Leaders Institute (TLI) training session held at The New Club, Taiping on July24th 2010 was a special event in several ways:
1. It was an "official" celebration of the birth of new Division H in District 51. Ever since Division Governor cum midwife May Cheah was entrusted the duty of delivering the new infant Division H in Miri, Sarawak in May, there was no 'proper' celebration to recognise the new born babe until TLI Taiping. On this special occasion, a high level delegation led by the 3 Magi (DG Thannimalai, LGET Sue Chan & LGM Ramdas Nayar) and an equally eminent entourage of Toastmasters luminaries comprising Parameswari, June Lim, Dennis Wee, Cheong Kuok Sum, Palaniappa and Wendy Wong were all there to celebrate the auspicious occasion. Also present were the 4 Area Governors of the new Division H with their merry men and women. The baby was declared fit and healthy to partake in all Toastmasters activities. 2. It was also a promise fulfilled by LGET Sue Chan. Sue had promised a Pan Malaysian Peninsular TLI road show like this when she campaigned for the post of LGET in Miri. Sue triumphed and this was proof that she keeps her word.3. District Governor Thannimalai, in delivering his inspirational "kick butt" address at the event completed the last piece of his DTM jig-saw puzzle and he has now joined the exalted ranks of Distinguished Toastmasters. CONGRATULATIONS DTM Thanni!! You have proven that we can still pursue our Toastmasters goals while rendering service.4. In many ways, this event was quite different - it gave ample opportunities for the new breed of leaders to put into practice what they were taught in the Train the Trainers (TTT) sessions conducted earlier. It also provided an enlarged pool of leaders/trainers ready and willing to be called to action.With such a stellar cast of formidable trainers, it was only inevitable that the sessions were a runaway success. The District 51 team educated, enthralled and entertained while the
participants absorbed every gem of wisdom that dropped from the trainers‘ mouths . Everyone
got charged up and all participants felt well equipped and ready to take on their respective roles in their clubs.
And what have I learnt from this TLI session? It's that we all belong to a wonderful organisation where leaders and members are ever ready to share time, effort, knowledge and experience to enable each other to grow. This is the essence of the Toastmasters movement - to be Simple and Humble in Caring and Sharing! It would seem to me that the only people who did not benefit from TLI Taiping were those who weren't there. They missed a golden opportunity to learn, network and grow.Scribe: citykay (AG H1 Cheah Tong Kim)
NOTE: Attendance at TLI 1 was 64 % and with supplementary TLI before 30th August 2010, the total attendance was a good 86% high! Of all the clubs that have attended TLI Club Officers Training 1 session, 3 clubs came in full force by having 7 out of 7 officers attending TLI 1. They were: Taiping Toastmasters, Bagan Ajam Toastmasters and Team Flantech Toastmasters.

一眨眼，七月上任至今已走了四分一的路途了，感叹时间的飞逝是如此的快速！
身为M区总监一职，感受到属下会友们对我的爱戴不期望。任务虽然重大，很庆幸的各分区总监都和属下的分会有丌错的联系和交流，而51区域和M区之间的互劢也有达到‘上情下达’和‘下情上达”的联系。毕竟，良好的沟通技巧，往往会令一件事情进行的非常顺畅。而在国际讱演会的领导体系里，分区总监将会学到最多沟通的技巧，毕竟他们将会亍属下每个分会经常联系。
虽然大家都忙着各自的事业在打拼，期望可以给我们心爱的家人有更好的生活；但大伙都尽量安排时间为我们半语组默默地付出不耕耘。会友们，你们的心态是我学习的榜样！毕竟学习的旅途有大家的陪伴乃是我一生的荣幸。在此，让我们一起
‘共创辉煌，登峰造极’！
七月份: 各分会开始忙着准备新届执委的就职典礼，而居銮半语讱演会的就职六月就已举办了。有人说～在商业领域里，速度往往可以决定一门生意的荣衰～，而居銮的女将们就运用了速度来证明她们是长袖善舞的一群。过后各分会的执委们也出席了M区上卉年的‘执委培训课程’。接着各分会就忙着筹办年度幽默不评讳比赛。
九月份: 在M2分区总监的号召下，他们在大学城举办了一场国际讱演会的示范例常会议，出席人数大约有二十多位嘉宾！成绩是令人鼓舞的。
十月份: M1分区总监将在十月十二日，星期二晚上举办另一场示范会，地点是新山宽柔独中。希望到时大家都能抽空出席不支持。
明年一月份: 下卉年的执委培训课程将会是一月九日，星期日下午一点至六点，地点是新山中半公会讱演会。肯定地这次的培训能让执委们在接下来的六个月更加能把领导的素质再提升。
明年六月份: M3分区总监将会在马六甲成立一个新分会，而这是个充满热情活力，三天两夜的就职典礼，日期是六月十日至十二日。记得腾出你们的时间来参不其胜哦。

6 JUL 2010: BURSA HR OPEN DAY – TOASTMASTERS BOOTH
Following the positive feedback received from the Youth Leadership Program organized by MIM KL
Toastmasters Club, Bursa Malaysia has invited the team to setup a booth for Toastmasters during the
Bursa Malaysia’s HR Open Day. It was indeed a great experience for the Division P Council members
to engage the public on the benefits of joining Toastmasters with the idea of setting up a
Toastmasters Club for the company. Some of the employees who came and visit our booth registered
their interests, and we will indeed be working hard towards realizing this idea!
16 JUL 2010: eXFuze MALAYSIA 1st ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION –
TOASTMASTERS BOOTH
Division P had another opportunity to showcase Toastmasters by setting up a booth at the
eXFuze 1st year anniversary celebration. The booth was coordinated by ITC Bintang
Toastmasters Club and the Area P4 Governor, through the invite of its Asia Pacific
Director, Toastmaster Chong Sun Fu. Toastmasters, widely known for our communication
and leadership skills, were invited as part of an eXfuze Community Outreach initiative. At
the end, the group spotted celebrity Anita Sarawak and Hannah Tan and took a group
photo together as testament of the great fun we had.
31 JUL 2010: DIVISION P&G TLI CLUB OFFICERS TRAINING
The joint Division P&G TLI Club Officers Training was a major success with
participation of approximately 150 club officers from both Divisions. It’s also
glad to note that our Club Officers’ Training (COT) was held in UPM, which is
one of the most reputable Universities in Malaysia! The Division was also
honored with the presence of our beloved District Governor, Thannimalai, DTM,
the very able LGET, Sue Chan, DTM, IPDG Ritchie Chong, DTM, and many
more established speakers from TLI. We received great feedback from the
attendees with many more good suggestions for the upcoming TLI COT2.
21 AUG 2010: SUPPLEMENTARY TLI
In line with the initiatives to ensure that all Club Officers are given the
opportunity to enhance their leadership skills, Division P&G once again
collaborated to organize a Supplementary TLI hosted in MCOBA in Jalan Syed
Putra. It was well-received with the attendance of 8 other clubs from around
Divisions P, G & W enabling the Division to meet club’s COT DCP targets for
more than 70% of the clubs base.
7 AUG 2010: SPEECH WORKSHOP FOR BLIND KIDS FROM SEKOLAH
Division P Officers also took the opportunity to participate in a Speech Workshop for the DJ
Club from Sekolah Menengah Pendidikan Khas Setapak. It was a very humble experience
for us realizing that we were teaching some 30 blind kids from the special school and trying
to convince them that even without the ability to see, having good communication skills is
essential to succeed in life. The half day program serves as a great opportunity for the team
to practice what we have learnt from the Competent Communicator 10 essential modules
and share it with the children. Our best hope is that with our support and guidance, some
may reach their dreams of becoming a DJ one day.
25 SEP 2010: DIVISION P HUMOROUS SPEECH &

Contests in most of the clubs and area started as early July 2010, and
the penultimate Division P Humorous Speech & Evaluation contests
were organized on the 25th September 2010 at Menara Exxon Mobil.
We’ve seen many new winners emerging from the Area Contests, and it
was indeed a great moment seeing a new breed of champions emerging
from the Division Contests. So, watch out, other Divisions, we promise
you a tough competition for this year’s District Championship!
