Division W Humorous Speech Contest
For those brave of heart, the rewards can be numerous. It certainly takes courage to be a contestant at a speech contest. Division W is cognizant of this and had prepared gifts for our brave-hearted contestants, who gave their best on a sunny, splendid Saturday afternoon at Goldhill Club.
Our Humorous Speech Champion had us in laughter throughout his “We are the Rakyatlah” speech. Starting with patriotic fervour, he told us he had tears in his eyes as he watched the firework display during our August 31 celebration.
He explained to us the hilarious acronyms for UMNO, MIC, MCA and ISA. With perfect comic timing, he had us laughing out aloud when he explained the origin of the t-shirts used for the Hindraf and Bersih rallies.
He ended his speech with, “we cannot be strong with anger, prosper with hatred or compete with resentment.” What we need is unity, understanding and unconditional love.
Our second placed winner had us agreeing with her that she did not require any weight loss product. With her refreshing air of confidence and flair for humour, she was an instant hit with the audience. She recommended that we don’t complain, don’t frown and don’t be stressed out, just laugh when faced with unpleasant situations.

Division W Evaluation Contest
Test speaker Melvin Cheah was absolutely hilarious in his “How to say it” speech. In his younger days, he did not have much success in matters of the heart. His friend advised him to join Toastmasters. When Melvin asked why, his friend bluntly told him, “you have eyes, strength and brains, but none of them are functioning.”
After joining Toastmasters, his finally found the lady whom he wished to spend the rest of his life with. They were married within 3 months of meeting each other. He then shared with us his TOCE method of winning the heart of his fair maiden. It consisted of Thinking, Organising your thoughts, Converting your thoughts into speech and Evaluation.
His evaluators were immensely entertained by his speech and recommended that he take part in future Humorous Speech contests! His speech had clear organization, with humorous personal stories which the audience could relate to.
Our Evaluation Champion thanked him for his entertaining and informative speech and was convinced that Melvin will be a champion speaker one day.
