Group 9 – 1st Intercity Meeting at Lake Club – “Datin
Paduka Marina Mahathir”
22 July 2015, There are total 36 registration from RCPJ for the 1st Intercity
Meeting hosted by RC Ampang. We have the biggest turn-up among the 6
Club for this dinner event. Thank you to all Rotarians who attended the event
and Big Thank You to Rotarian Irwin who bought a table for his friends to
enjoy this meaning talk by Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir.
Datin is well known for her movement to fight for the equal citizen right for all
women in Malaysia. And her talk for the night was “Empowering Women in
Society: Challenges & Prospects in Malaysia”. All members in attendance were so captured by her talk as she shared
with us areas that we never thought of all at. I personally like her talk as I find her speech inspiring. When a member
asked her how different would a female leader managed or lead as appose to a Male leader’s leadership – her reply
was – a female leader will tend to be more humane in her leadership. And a female leader would also be more inclusive
in her decision to make things all rounded for all citizens. I am totally agreed with her.
Being the 1st lady President for RCPJ – a 55th years old club, it was a
challenging task. To bring our club to a new level field, it is definitely not easy.
I have started to practice the inclusive management within our club. The one
big challenge I found is - we need more young and active rotarians to take on
administrative and supporting roles and tasks. Our senior rotarians continue
to be our valued advisors to us – the new and young rotarians, but we also
need the hands and legs to work on projects and Youth Advisors to our
Interactors Clubs. This, I found we need to work on to find more professional
individual who are active and have the passion to serve the community to
be part of us in RCPJ. I am constantly looking for these individuals and I am
seeking your helping hands to look out for us too.
Next Tuesday Meeting on 28 July (Tuesday), It will be our 2nd Business Meeting to approve the
Charity Account which we did not manage to complete it at 1st Business Meeting.
Besides, there will be a visiting Rotarian – Ms Kerina Edmund from Rotary Club of Tamarin Les Salines, District 9220,
Mauritius visiting our Club. Kerina found us through MY ROTARY. Her son is currently study in Monash Malaysia and
she will be here in Malaysia till 1 August 2015. Kerina will share with us the projects they have done at her Club and
also to share with us her country. Do join us and looking forward to meeting all of us next week.
Sincerely,

INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE
DEAR ROTARY LEADERS,
W
e’re delighted to report that [today] Nigeria has passed
one year with no new cases of the wild poliovirus.
This is the longest the country has ever gone without a case of
polio and a critical step on the path toward a polio-free Africa.
We’ve come a long way since the bleak years when the virus
reached its peak. It was only a decade ago that polio struck
12,631 people in Africa- three quarters of all cases in the world.
We congratulate Rotarians who have donated $688.5 million to
fight polio throughout Africa, including more than $200 million
to Nigeria. We congratulate Rotarians from Africa and around
the world who have also devoted countless hours to immunize
the children who now have the opportunity for healthier, happier
lives.
With the ambitious scope of Rotary’s PolioPlus program, our
efforts are having a far-reaching, transformative impact beyond
the eradication of polio.
With the infrastructure put in place by the Global
Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), Nigeria not only
reduced its polio caseload by 90% in 2014, but it
also successfully thwarted the world’s most lethal
Ebola outbreak to date, in only 90 days, a response
faster than even the U.S., and rightly praised by
the World Health Organization as ‘world-class’.
In Nigeria and elsewhere, the Initiative provides a blueprint to reach all children with a package of
lifesaving vaccines and health interventions. This is a vital step on the path to human development,
as we know that with improved public health, more resources can be channeled towards education
and economic growth.
If the stringent World Health Organization testing criteria are met,
then Nigeria could be removed from the list of polio-endemic
countries in September of this year.
However, our work is not done. We know that polio can
easily return, with devastating consequences, if we don’t stamp
it out now.
We must act, as Rotarians do, to build on the progress made
thePeejayPost
www.rotarypj.com
page 4 of 22
24July2015
Issue3,RY2015-2016
and stop polio once and for all. We have a narrow window of
opportunity to achieve this, and if we fail, we could witness up
to 200,000 cases a year in the near future.
So how can we finally make history and end polio now?
Today, we must protect the progress made in Nigeria, and
support Pakistan and Afghanistan, the other two remaining
polio-endemic countries.
Protecting progress means enhancing surveillance, routine
immunization, and community engagement in Nigeria and other
countries where transmission has been stopped.
Supporting Pakistan and Afghanistan means full political and financial commitment to eradicating
polio; vaccination of all children in these countries; high quality surveillance, and the accomplishment
of all the expert recommendations as part of the GPEI’s Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic
Plan.
Visit endpolio.org to download a toolkit of materials to help you share this progress – and the need
for continued commitment in the coming years – with your Rotary club, your communities and your
elected officials.
This all requires time, energy and investment. Pakistan’s budget requirements for polio eradication
activities from 2016-2018 amounts to $305.7 million, and if we can raise this sum now, a polio-free
world will reap financial savings of US$50 billion over the next 20 years and prove what’s possible
when the global community comes together to improve children’s lives.
Your donation to PolioPlus will be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, tripling
your contribution.
Thirty years ago we told the world what Rotary believes: that we can achieve the eradication of only
the second human disease in history. Our belief is becoming reality. For every child, let’s make sure
that reality is a bright one.
Sincerely,
Ravi

INTERCITY MEETING
22 JULY 2015
RECORDED BY PP DR. TARCISIUS CHIN
In the first month of the new Rotary year the first Inter-
city meeting for Group 9 was held in the resplendent
Perdana Hall of the Royal Lake Club in Kuala Lumpur
on Wednesday 22nd July 2015. Hosted by the Rotary
Club of Ampang and joined in by the Rotary Clubs of
Bandar Utama, Melawati, Mont Kiara, Pantai Valley and
Petaling Jaya, the dinner meeting was attended by over
200 Rotarians and guests. The star attraction was the
Guest Speaker, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, who
spoke on “Empowering Women in Society:
Challenges and Prospects in Malaysia”.
A buffet dinner of beef rending, curry chicken,
nasi lemak and bananas was available before the
proceedings. These were available from 7.00 pm.
DG Siti Zubaidah chaired and commenced the meeting
at 8.00 pm as the six club Presidents took to the stage
to welcome members and guests, and to make the
usual announcements. An interesting commonality of
the announcements is the vigorous recruitment of new
members by several clubs which should be comforting
for DG Siti in moving towards her KPI for the District of
achieving 2,000 members during her term of office.
The highlight of the evening was the talk by Datin
Paduka Marina Mahathir. In her conversational style
of presentation Marina presented several insights into
the legal, social and cultural status of women in Malaysia. We have constitutional
equality between the sexes. However, the issue is inequality of the genders. We are
born into a particular sex, but social and cultural perceptions tend to discriminate
against women. Hence, the need to impose a 30 percent quota for women in the
boards of public companies.
One problematic issue is the divergence between civil and syariah laws. While
syariah laws should be subordinate to civil laws, it has now come to the point that
any case with reference to Islam cannot be referred to the civil courts. Because nonMuslims cannot access the syariah courts, this becomes an issue in the case of a
non-Muslim spouse seeking justice from the Muslim spouse. Hence, there are still
lingering cases of rights to property and custody of children in cases in which one
party has converted to Islam, often without the knowledge of the other party.

It is a paradox that while women are becoming highly
educated their employment status deteriorates after
graduation. In most organisations the number of women
at the higher echelons is small. This is also evident
in Government and politics. In the Malaysian cabinet
for example there are only two women Ministers in
a crowded team of 34! The key positions of political
parties are dominated by men. Hence, it will be an uphill
battle for the country to balance the needs of women
in society. We need more women in Government and
politics to redress the situation.
One avenue is for local Government elections which
will likely bring in more women to contest. There is the need to have more women
nominated for political office as the current parliamentary and state elections normally
see only some 10 per cent of women being nominated. When few are nominated it
is inevitable that few will be appointed to Governmental positions. A critical mass is
needed for women’s voices to be heard. Such is the current disparity in Government
that women’s issues are given low priority for the nation.
Questions were asked and the Speaker responded
with factual cases and historical perspectives for
a better understanding of the position of women in
Malaysia. Will we have a woman Prime Minister as in
other Asian countries? The Speaker pointed out that
women political leaders in Asia surfaced because of
connections to husband, father or family. Given the
socio-political structure in the country it will be a long
road ahead for such a woman leader to surface.
For many present the talk was educational. It left
members with a much better understanding of the
dichotomy between what is constitutionally valid and what is actually happening at
ground level. Rotary clubs in Malaysia are bridging the gap perhaps much better
than most organisations, with a lady District Governor and two lady Presidents of the
six clubs participating in the Inter-city meeting.
President Rianne Chin of the Rotary Club of Petaling Jaya thanked Datin Paduka
Marina Mahathir for an illuminating speech and the dinner meeting came to a close
at around 10.00 pm.

CLUB SPEAKER
TREATMENT
BY PP GOH SENG CHUAN
DEAR ROTARY LEADERS,
The Rotary Club of PJ on average has a Speaker on
some topic about 40 times a year. These Speakers are
generally non-Rotarians and people of importance
and influence in the community. Their impression of
Rotary in general and the Club in particular is formed
by how they are treated at the meeting. The following
guidelines should be adopted :
* Send a confirming letter/email – clearly state the venue,
date, time and topic of the talk, and ask the Speaker
if he /she needs any special equipment (Laptop, LCD
projector, screen, white board) and request for the
Speaker’s biodata or a brief CV for his introduction to
the Club. Take the opportunity to tell a little bit about
the Club - size, age, a few major achievements etc. Tell the Speaker that he/she will
be talking to a mixed group of business and professional people, both young and
old, male and female.
*The Programme Chairman has to follow up with a reminder phone call.
*The Programme Chairman has to be at the meeting place before the speaker arrives.
*The Programme Chairman is to
i) receive and welcome the Speaker,
ii) see the Speaker to his/her seat near the
rostrum,
iii) help the Speaker to set up his/her equipment,
iv) help the Speaker to distribute literature
v) accompany the Speaker to have his/her meal
*The Speaker’s meal is complimentary.
*Members should initiate conversations with the Speaker - don’t ignore him/her. The
Speaker should be formally introduced to the Club before he/she speaks.
*When the Speaker accepts the invitation to speak, he should be told that he has
thePeejayPost
www.rotarypj.com
page 10 of 22
24July2015
Issue3,RY2015-2016
about 20 minutes to speak and 5 minutes for questions and answers. (For Evening
meeting the Speaker will have 50 minutes including Q&A). The President must ensure
that the Speaker has that much time and not let anyone cut into his/her allotted time.
*Discourage any early leavers. They insult the speaker.
*The members should be quiet during the programme.
*Questions and answers should be left to the end of the talk.
*The speaker should be thanked and a souvenir be given.
Sincerely,
Seng Chuan

A STORY BEHIND
THE FOUR WAY TEST
(PART 1)
BY DARRELL THOMPSON
M
ore than 60 years ago, in the midst of the Great Depression,
a U.S. Rotarian devised a simple, four-part ethical guideline
that helped him rescue a beleaguered business. The statement
and the principles it embodied also helped many others find
their own ethical compass. Soon embraced and popularized by
Rotary International, The Four-Way Test today stands as one of
the organization’s hallmarks. It may very well be one of the most
famous statements of our century.
Herbert J. Taylor, author of
the Test, was a mover, a doer,
a consummate salesman
and a leader of men. He was
a man of action, faith and
high moral principle. Born
in Michigan, USA, in 1893,
he worked his way through
Northwestern University in
Evanston, Illinois.
Darrell Thompson
Herbert J. Taylor
After graduation, Herb went
to France on a mission for the
YMCA and the British Army
welfare service and served in the U.S. Navy Supply Corps in
World War I. In 1919, he married Gloria Forbrich, and the couple
set up housekeeping in Oklahoma, USA, where he worked for
the Sinclair Oil Company. After a year, he resigned and went
into insurance, real estate and oil lease brokerage.
With some prosperous years behind him, Herb returned to Chicago, Illinois, in 1925 and began
a swift rise within the Jewel Tea Company. He soon joined the
Rotary Club of Chicago. In line for the presidency of Jewel in
1932, Herb was asked to help revive the near-bankrupt Club
Aluminum Company of Chicago. The cookware manufacturing
company owed $400,000 more than its total assets and was
barely staying afloat. Herb responded to the challenge and
decided to cast his lot with this troubled firm. He resigned from
Jewel Tea, taking an 80 percent pay cut to become president of
Club Aluminum. He even invested $6,100 of his own money in
the company to give it some operating capital.
Looking for a way to resuscitate the company and caught in
the Depression’s doldrums, Herb, deeply religious, prayed for
inspiration to craft a short measuring stick of ethics for the staff
to use.
As he thought about an ethical guideline for the company, he
Employees of the Jewel Tea Company
first wrote a statement of about 100 words but decided that it
was too long. He continued to work, reducing it to seven points.
In fact, The Four-Way Test was once a Seven-Way Test. It was
still too long, and he finally reduced it to the four searching questions that comprise the Test today.
thePeejayPost
www.rotarypj.com
page 12 of 22
24July2015
Issue3,RY2015-2016
Next, he checked the statement with his four department heads:
a Roman Catholic, a Christian Scientist, an Orthodox Jew and
a Presbyterian. They all agreed that the Test’s principles not
only coincided with their religious beliefs, but also provided an
exemplary guide for personal and business life.
And so, “The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do”
was born:
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all Concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER
FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Profound in its simplicity, the Test became the basis for decisions large and small at Club Aluminum.
But any test must be put to the test. Would it work in the real world? Could people in business really
live by its precepts? One lawyer told Herb: “If I followed the Test explicitly, I would starve to death.
Where business is concerned, I think The Four-Way Test is absolutely impractical.”
The attorney’s concerns were understandable. Any ethical
system that calls for living the truth and measuring actions on
the basis of benefits to others is demanding. Such a test can stir
bitter conflict for those who try to balance integrity and ambition.
Sizzling debates have been held in various parts of the world
on its practicality as a way of living. There are always some
serious-minded Rotarians, not to mention skeptics and negative
thinkers, who view The Four-Way Test as a simplistic philosophy
of dubious worth, contradictory meaning and unrealistic aims.
The Test calls for thoughtful examination of one’s motives and
goals. This emphasis on truth, fairness and consideration
provide a moral diet so rich that it gives some people “ethical
indigestion.”
But at Club Aluminum in the 1930s, everything was measured
against The Four-Way Test. First, the staff applied it to advertising.
Words like “better,” “best,” “greatest” or “finest” were dropped from ads and replaced by factual
descriptions of the product. Negative comments about competitors were removed from advertising
and company literature.
The Test gradually became a guide for every aspect of the business, creating a climate of trust and
goodwill among dealers, customers and employees. It became part of the corporate culture, and
eventually helped improve Club Aluminum’s reputation and finances.
- to be continued in Issue 4 Darrell Thompson is a member of the Rotary Club of Morro Bay, California. This article is adapted from a speech given
by Darrell, with contributions from Rotarians Douglas W. Vincent of Woodstock-Oxford, Ontario, Canada, and Myron
Taylor.

ABOUT US
THE ROTARY CLUB OF PETALING JAYA
The Rotary Club of Petaling Jaya was
sponsored by the Rotary Club of Kuala
Lumpur and received its charter from Rotary
International on January 6th 1961 with 35
founding members.
Within the first 15 years of its existence,
the Club provided Petaling Jaya’s urban
community with its first public library and
kindergarten. At the national level, it succeeded in founding the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia and RCPJ
members have been serving on the Foundation’s board for the last 44 years.
Over the years, the Club expanded its service activities, establishing regular community support in the form of youth
development through Rotaract and Interact Clubs, the Golden Child Project, the Ten Pin Bowling Project and the Super
Mum project.
The Club meets every Tuesday at 12:45pm for lunch at the Grand Dorsett Hotel Subang and the Sultan of Selangor,
DYMM Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, is currently the Royal Patron of the Club.
