Governor’s Message


Dear fellow Rotarians,

We have seen past Rotary generations succeed with their works and achievements in serving the communities of the world and we are justifiably proud of this great organization which we belonged to. We also know that great Rotary traditions have been forged in the past through fellowship in order to build a greater bond between fellow Rotarians. With that established bond, we develop trust among ourselves and make it possible to visualize the future of Rotary.

We are desirous to build even stronger links to the future so that future generations of Rotarians can continue to up-hold the Rotary flagship and to continue to give hope to humanity blighted by diseases, poverty, hunger, illiteracy, lack of water, conflicts and wars. With this installation of the new President of your club, let us renew our vigor and commitment in the pledge of “Service Above Self.”

Rotary International has developed a strategic plan with seven priorities that will help us secure a stronger future in a changing world. To realize this dream, let us take up each and everyone of the challenges of these seven priorities posed to us: eradicating folio, advancing the recognition and public image of Rotary, increasing Rotary’s capacity to provide service, expending membership globally in both numbers and quality, emphasizing Rotary’s unique vocational service commitments, optimizing leadership talents and fully implementing the strategic planning process to ensure continuity.

To embark upon this Rotary year 2009/10 successfully, Rotarians of this club must possess the feeling of greatness for being together as fellow Rotarians; demonstrate to your community that Rotarians are in union at heart and soul in doing service to the people.

This, you must for The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands.

Yours very truly,

Datuk Haji Md Latip Sarrugi

  • lee : Let us criticise for a better PETS and DA. Nobody accepts to organise an event and want to make a mess of it. Let us help out. I like the 'abstraction' posted by PP BS Chew from RC e-Club.
  • lee : Accepting crticisms? It depends on how the critic made his points. If is sounds like an insult, whao! it is a waste of effort and time. I like to think that I am a progressive person and will gladly accept any criticism for improvement. But, how will the 'SELF' reacts depend on how the criticism is interpreted. So really need to think a while first and not take as face value. Interesting article, thanks PP Dr Ho.
  • lee : An Intersting Decision: "The Board opened Palestine for the extension of Rotary clubs, subject to receipt of a letter of registration from the Palestinian National Authority, and agreed that clubs in Palestine shall be grouped in District 2450."
  • lee : Looks good the net return of USD 71.9M to RF for 2009-2010. The lost amount for 2008-2009 was over USD 160 M. Stand corrected as I have not read the finanical reports for the last three years. Remind me of a Financial Controller to the Board of Directors: "What do you want me to show in the report?"
  • lee : Bring a friend and help Rotary Grow!
  • lee : If you missed the WUPD organised by RC Sentosa Singapore, join us in Johor Bahru Zon; 5.30 pm Tuesday 23rd February organised by RC Johor Bahru. Cost per Head = RM 15.00, a decent spread of Finger Food with free-flow of coffee/Tea.
  • lee : Interesting Joint Meeting next Tuesday [23rd February] at 5.30 pm at Zon, Johot Bahru. Hosted by RCJB. Drop by if you are here in JB.
  • lee : Happy to read the MG for Literacy for Roslind Home in ON! I think it took a fair bit of time. Also understand that RF Share Program will be modified to District Fund and Global Fund. The former should speed small projects up without the hassles of Matching from TRF.
  • lee : To all Chinese Rotarians, have a safe drive back to your 'kampong' and have a lovely Reunion Dinner on Saturday.
  • admin : Gong Xi Fa Cai to all chinese.
  • lee : Happy holidays and/or CNY in the year of the Tiger. I am not promoting but for RM 800.00, a sumptuous Reunion Dinner is on the card near the Causeway.
  • lee : It is indeed untimely to do away with ecological programs in the District. Do reconsider keeping the Preserve Planet Earth Committee.
  • lee : Sometimes control is necessary. Good reaction Administration! I was shell shocked yesterday. This is a respectable site not that I am a snob. Glad I have a mother who had taught me well!
  • Lee: : Every year there is a catch phrase at RI. At club levels many of us are walking the talk year in and year out. This is what Rotary means to me. Comments?
  • Lee: : The Global Days of Service feature thousands of global participants, from April 17 – 18, 2010. Projects in parks, beaches, schools and forests to reduce climate change? Like tree planting, energy gadget retrofits, urban gardens and forest restoration. 2010 is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Evidnece of greater peril than ever. Earth Day has the power to change climatical policies and search for renewable energy, etc.
  • Lee: : Yes and No! As long as people read. Good enough for me.
  • bschew : Wow, Lee, you are the only one posting. Most be rather lonely leh... :-(
  • Lee: : -45 celcius in habited part of China? First time heard of this. -50 celcius in Northern Siberia used to be the coldest region. Forest and Bush Fires all over the globe. The extremities swing bothways just like the pendulum. Question: Can this arc swing be contained? Keep "Preserve Planet Earth" and work in Literacy Month.
  • Lee: : Stand corrected: In 2008 5.8 Billion metric tonne of coal . Density of coal = 850 cubic metre. Volume of coal dug out = 1.2 billion cubic metre. This is equivalent to the whole of Singapore lined with 1metre high of coal over the whole island. Give and take 100 cm. Run out of space in my cheap calculator.
  • Lee; : Have not even estimated from the other fossil fuel [crude oil] combustion
  • Lee; : 3 billion tonnes of coal are mined every year [not verified]. The outcome 11 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide is emitted from this combustion. Using 8 billion tonnes of oxygen in the process. [Basic Mole Concept estimates] With the depletion of Gaia's green lungs globally. The outcome 'Global Warming'
  • Lee: : Good morning "nwlogyaxjx". You are still as elusive as ever..identify yourself or be square! Nice to see you can read my postings. Cheers!
