President 1995/96, Johor Bahru Toastmasters Club

As a science graduate from a Chinese university, It did not take me long to realize that communication was my biggest hurdle I have to clear in order to climb the corporate ladder at any acceptable pace.

There were no Toastmasters Clubs in Penang state in 1980 .  The Butterworth Toastmasters Club was actually conceived and formed in my office in Prai with the help and encouragements from Ismail Noor, then a committed Toastmaster from Kuala Lumpur and a management trainer engaged by the company I worked for.

Since then Toastmasters became a way of life for me.  It has helped me in my career advancement, enabling me to secure enviable positions in the three multinational companies I worked for. And when I eventually decide to start my own company, Toastmasters skills came in handy in terms of networking skills, and leadership skills.

Toastmasters helped me in my presentation skills, improve my ability to communicate , especially in English and the interpersonal skills I needed to effectively network.

For 28 years , Toastmasters continue to enrich my life. I would recommend anyone who wish to get the best out of their lives , to join Toastmasters.
