Public Speaking Club 15th anniversary

9 September 2007

The MCA Youth Public Speaking Club was formed on 9/9/1992. One of the initial purposes of the club was to train politicians to be good public speakers. Today, the Public Speaking Training Program trains students of all ages to be effective public speakers and presenters. After 6 months of intensive training, students are able and will be presenting a variety of program includes public speaking, drama, talk show and poem reciting during the concert in conjunction with the Graduation Ceremony.

There are four levels in the training program, the elementary, intermediate, advance and trainers. Beside public speaking, students also have the opportunity to learn about the administration, coordination, leadership and organising of events as they are required to stay back to train the new batch after their graduation. The PSC started with only 1 club, however, there are 18 clubs overall Malaysia today and the number is still growing.

Today is PSC 15th anniversary. Members from all branches were having camping near the National Zoo yesterday. Today is the "Good Friend" lunch gathering at "Sin Lok" Restaurant at Ampang Park. Actually I did not plan to go for the lunch, but, because CKP said he would be going so I bought the ticket. When I "SMS" him at 11.30 am, he said he was very busy and not be going. Off course, I was very angry and scolded him for wasting my $50. I was undecided whether to go or not. At last I decided to go because Gary Goh called me last night to say he would be going. Just like any other Chinese functions, the lunch that was supposed to start at 12 pm, started at 1.30 pm. This is supposed to be one of the biggest events for this year, I was quit disappointed that only a few of the speakers/trainers turned up. However, praise should go to Penang/Bukit Martajam Branch, they have about 2 tables of their members came. There were programs like speeches, ice breaking, dances and talent time but the sound system was terrible. Gary and I left at 3.15 pm while the program that scheduled to end at 3.30 pm was still on.
