My thoughts...

Whilst still in 6th Form in 1973, I was given the opportunity to involve myself in community service. That was the beginning of my addiction to serve the community.

Now nearly four decades past, the passion to serve has not diminished a single bit. It actual fact, the light has never burned brighter.

Basically I was involved in sporting activities as a player, official and administrator from 1970 to 2010. My foray into community service began when I volunteered to be a Honorary Warden at the then Penang Youth Park in 1972. It was the beginning of a roller coaster ride that I will never forget and perhaps never get off from. Having been involved in welfare organisations, health organisations and numerous non-governmental organisations, my efforts to return to society what it has given me and my beloved family took a turn for the better when I was inducted as a member of Lions Club International via my membership with the Lions Club of Penang Light. Till this day, I remain a steadfast and committed lion, forever believing in the Lions motto of "WE SERVE".

In 2011, through the encouragement of a close friend and fellow Lion, I joined another non-governmental organisation which had "Service to Mankind" as its motto. This NGO is the St. John Ambulance of Malaysia, State of Penang. This is yet another step forward in my quest to serve my community and my fellow man.
