Division W under the leadership of DTM Soh Fong Wai for term 2009/2010 has been very generous in rewarding every member and club’s achievement. The Appreciation Dinner held on 28 August 2010 at Padi House was another testimony to our Division Governor’s belief that everyone’s contribution and achievement will be recognized and appreciated by Division W.

There could not have been a better way to start off the evening of awards. We were delighted when the Toastmaster of the Evening was announced. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that Stephen Fernando will be our host for this evening where many members and friends of
Division W had gathered.


The Humour Session by Stephen Fernando was priceless. We were in constant laughter as he shared with us his memorable experience of travelling to Palm Desert, California to participate in the International Speech Contest Finals with District Governor Thannimalai,
LGET Sue Chan and LGM Ramdas Nayar. His encounter with the Homeland Security officer at the airport, the plane journey, the friendly hugs from African-American female Toastmasters were hilarious tales.
Our laughter continued when we heard tales of our Malaysian football team, the Malay subtitles for our movies and the theme song for Institut Jantung Negara – My Heart Will Go On.
