PRESIDENT’S
DIARY FOR THE WEEK
(02 December – 08 December 2015)
DEAR FELLOW ROTARIANS,
T
his week was a very important week for Rotary District 3300.
The District Interactors Conference kicked start on 4 Dec 2015
at Lumut while the RI President visited our District 3300 on 6
Dec 2015. It was an action packed week.
District
Interactors
Conference – Lumut ,
TLDM Naval Base
4-7 Dec 2015. At 6am, VP
Alice, PP Chris Ng and
myself were gathering at the
bus stop of SMK Assunta.
We have arranged a bus to
ferry our 19 Interactors to the
District Conference in Lumut. We scheduled to reach the Lumut
at 11am and we arrived on the dot. We ensured all students
registered and settled at the site before we left for KL. It was a long day for us, the Rotarians, but
it was a fulfilling day.
RCPJ Christmas Cheers at Glad Tidings Church for
Rumah Juara
5 Dec 2015. This year Christmas Cheers has brought cheers to
100 children from the Rumah Juara in PJ and Puchong. Rumah
Juara is home for orphans, abandoned and abused children.
Rumah Juara is a safe home that provides for the physical,
mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs of children in terms
of food, clothing and shelter, academic and vocational training.
This was the 3rd year that we celebrated the Christmas Cheers
with Juara Home.
Special thanks to Organising Chair, Datin Valerie, PP Michael Toh for sponsoring RM500 each for
the ang pau for the children, PP Dr JD John for the magic show, PP Dato Kevin Yong for the muffins
and all Rotarians in attendance to support the event. It was a happy morning we shared with these
wonderful children of the home.
Interactors Chat with RI President Ravi
6 Dec 2015. It was a very special day for the Interactors of District 3300. RI President Ravi visits
Malaysia and his first stop was to SMK Assunta to meet and chat with our Interactors. The host

venue – SMK Assunta is RCPJ sponsored Interact School. Our
girls really make us proud for they have managed the event
very well. The message emphasised by RI President Ravi is “No
selfmade successful man”. If you are successful, aside from
your hard work and persistency, it was because someone out
there whom have helped you to pull through the impossible. And
now, we must be that someone giving back to the society and
help those in needs in return. This is what we do as a Rotarian.
Am proud to be Rotarian.
The same evening at 6.00pm,
it was the RI President Banquet Dinner at Nexus Connexion
Convention Hall at Bangsar South. We made it there at 5.15pm
to have a group photo with President Ravi as this is one of the
very rare occasions where we have RI President visiting us at
KL. I must give a round of applauds to the District Organising
Committee for a job well done on the RI President visit despite
short notice. We, from RCPJ enjoyed the evening and fellowship
as we were the only table left intact with all members still sitting
at the table at the end of the event. This is RCPJ – Service &
Fellowship.
Luncheon Talk : Understanding Korea by Ernest
Wong
8 Dec 2015. It was a history in the making for RCPJ when Ernest
Wong, age 12 emerged as the speaker for the RCPJ luncheon
talk this afternoon.
Ernest is very interested on the Korean culture and lifestyle.
Ernest has surprised us with his in-depth knowledge of Korea.
It has been an entertaining and informative session for us as we
observes how Ernest carry himself during the talk. Well done
Ernest !
Next Tuesday Evening Meeting on 15 December (Tuesday) is Christmas Party. Venue
at Roulette, Ara Oasis, is a fellowship dinner gathering. Start at 7.00pm, do bring a friend and a gift
worth RM15 and above for fun Christmas Gift Exchange.
All members, see you on 15 December 2015, 7pm at Roulette !
Sincerely,
Rianne Chin

ROTARY
INTERNATIONAL
TRUSTEE CHAIR’S MESSAGE
DECEMBER 2015
Presidential
conferences have become
popular meetings for Rotarians from around
the world, but the conference programs
vary from year to year with each president.
President Ravi has planned five unique
conferences during this Rotary year, each
inspired by one of the areas of focus
established by The Rotary Foundation as
part of its Future Vision plan:
•
Peace and conflict prevention and resolution: 15-16 January in
Ontario, Calif. - peaceconference2016.org
•
Disease prevention and treatment: 19-20 February in Cannes,
France- rotary-conference-cannes2016.org
•
Community and economic development: 27 February in Cape
Town, South Africa - rotarycapetown2016.com
•
Literacy and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) in schools: 1113 March in Kolkata, India - rotaryteach.org/presidentialconference
•
WASH in Schools: 18-19 March in Pasay City, Philippines 2016RotaryPresidentialConferenceManila.org
President Ravi and I will attend all five of the conferences,
which are co-sponsored by Rotary International and The Rotary
Foundation, and we hope that Rotarians will take an active interest
in supporting them, particularly the ones closest to their homes.

These events offer opportunities to explore the issues alongside
Rotary’s leaders and outside experts in the various areas of focus,
as we spotlight practical approaches for Rotarians to become
involved in new and effective projects.
If you find any of the conferences to be of interest, which I hope you
will, please consider attending one of them, or perhaps sending
a representative from your club. The presidential conferences are
excellent supplements to the Rotary conventions, and they are
further proof that Rotary is truly Doing Good in the World all around
the globe!

RI PRESIDENT ON THE STAR
FOCUS ON POLIO CASES
TUESDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2015
ALTHOUGH his father and grandfather were Rotarians,
joining to serve society with the local Rotary Club
in Colombo was not exactly the first thing on K.R.
Ravindran’s mind.
“Well, working on the plantation sector, it was lonely,
I wanted to make friends, and eventually the service
part grows on you, what bands you together is the fun
of doing community work together,” said Ravindran.
Elected to head Rotary International for the 2015/2016 Ravindran speaking at the interview during his
three-day visit to Malaysia.
term, Ravindran, a member of the Colombo Rotary
Club, started and still heads Printcare PLC, a listed
company which started out doing tea packaging and has diversified into the digital
realm too.
“The good thing about Rotary is that we leverage on
the different skills to organise ourselves.
“Some are good administrators while others have the
required skills for the task at hand.”
“And to leverage on this, that’s why you pursue smart
partnerships with corporations and other bodies.
Colombo Rotary Club
“They are all looking to help and that is where
organisations like us come in with the contacts and
organisational skills,” said Ravindran.
Having just arrived from Japan the night before, Ravindran’s schedule is a full one
over the next three days, as he was scheduled to meet with the Malaysian Rotary
District leaders and receive briefings on the various Rotary service projects.
Each Rotary district and even local Rotary clubs have their own target communities
such as cataracts and preventing blindness campaigns.

Rotary International itself, however, is focused on seeing its sole worldwide programme,
the PolioPlus polio-eradication programme to ensure thorough eradication of
poliomyelitis throughout the world.
“Our main aim right now is to push and ensure full polio vaccination in Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
“Then in three years, if there are no new polio cases in that period, we can declare
the project a success,” the international president said.
At this moment, only smallpox has been successfully eradicated, while there have
only been 68 polio cases reported all around the border area in these two countries.
Although violence in the region has somewhat
hampered eradication attempts, Ravindran explained
that the Pakistan government with its Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif at the head of the country’s polio task
force, was committed to the effort.
“There is no price to saving children by eradicating
polio – it’s a no-brainer,” said Ravindran, in addition
to the potential savings over the next two to three
decades which could amount to as much as RM213bil
(USD50bil).
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
Such savings, he explained, could be channelled into
working on other diseases such as tuberculosis, AIDS or malaria.
“The possibilities are endless and we have the
machinery to reach out not just for polio but for other
diseases too,” Ravindran said.
Pointing to the recent Ebola outbreak in Africa, where
the disease appeared in Nigeria’s capital, Rotary
International together with various international
agencies leveraged on the same polio-vaccination
network to rush medical help to Lagos to help contain
the outbreak.
