Lions Club of Tanjung Bidara - Club Visit & Project
Tanjung Bidara, in the district of Alor Gajah is a very popular beach in Melaka. I was a party to the Lions Club education project held on 6.1.1998. The club presented school bags, uniforms, shoes, socks and books to 20 poor students of SRJK (China) Masjid Tanah. There were a few Malay boys and girls in the group.
The Business Meeting was conducted by the Club President, Yong Kwan Ho. I was taken aback briefly when the meeting was conducted in English with a mix of Mandarin. No worries, really. It was more important for the members to understand and be able to interact with each other and to work together to achieve the club’s objectives. Language should never be a hindrance. In fact, the Lions’ International’s language is “service”. At the meeting, they highlighted their pipeline project which was a 'Lighting of Lanterns' in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations at Taman Melaka Raya.
I took the opportunity to present my personal pins to the President and a few active committee members. Beautiful Bidara!
