Musings by Alan Cheah

Having been involved in social and community service since 1973, this platform is being used to share one's thoughts and aspirations on the subject of "Social & Community Service" to help the needy in our Community irrespective of race, colour, creed, social and political standing.
Sharing the personal satisfaction of an individual knowing that one has tried to make a difference for our fellow man...seeing the grateful and happy faces of those who we have tried to help in one small way or another!

"The miracle is not that we do this work BUT that we are happy to do it"... Mother Theresa

Lionism...

Since my induction as a Lion in 2004, I have never felt more committed to serving my community in whatever manner possible. Lions are a group of volunteers dedicated to serve their community in line with their motto ... "We Serve".
It is said that a "picture paints a thousand words", then imagine what the joy and happiness on the faces of the old can do! Every year, we strive to bring joy and happiness to the old and young less fortunate in our community especially during festive occasions when they feel left out of the festivities. Be it Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas or Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Lions never fail to bring joy and happiness to the orphans and older generation in the various homes of our community. At the end of the event, we gain much satisfaction when we see the glitter of happiness and joy in their eyes and expressions of thanks and gratitude on their faces.
Lionism has provided me the forum and platform to be of service to my community and has also provide me the opportunity to improve my skills in leadership and training.
Having served the movement in various capacities as Club Secretary, Club Director, Club Tail Twister, Club Vice-President, Club President besides serving the district as Zone Chairperson, District Chairperson and District Trainer, all these have honed my skills to a much higher level and made me a much better person. ROAR!
