Give Liew Chon Kong a Chance to Live!!!!!!

FROM THE STAR:
A 10-year-old boy suffering from thalassemia since he was one desperately needs a stem cell transplant.

Liew Chon Kong has been undergoing blood transfusions every month at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital since he was four.

Lam Mei Lin, 37, said Chon Kong, the elder of two sons, has been suffering from constant headaches and extreme fatigue since young

“The doctors have said the best option now is to go for the transplant, as frequent blood transfusions put him at risk of an iron overload.

“Such overload can damage his heart and liver,” she told a press conference organised by Johor MCA Public Complaints Bureau chief Chia Song Cheng.

Lam, an administration officer at a factory, added that none of her family members had matching stem cells.She had spent more than RM28,000 to search for a match via the Sultanah Aminah Hospital as well other hospitals in Singapore, but to no avail.

“I have since consulted a transplant team at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, who has informed us that they have found a match.

“However, the suitable stem cells as well as the transplant cost about RM350,000 and the surgery is scheduled for October,” she said, adding that her husband was an air-conditioning technician. Lam added that she had managed to collect RM50,000, but needed help from the public to raise the rest of the amount.

“I appeal to the public for their kindness as my son’s life depends on the surgery,” she said.

Chia hoped people could show their kindness to Chon Kong’s family.

ON BEHALF of the LEO CABINET and District President Eliza, we are setting up a fund to help little Chon Kong. Via Facebook, Lion Alan Thoo raised quite an amount before for 2 individuals. Let's see if Perak Leos, using the same method, can do something about this... and can raise a little something... for Liew Chong Kong? 

Let's see if! let's put our hearts together and let's do this!!!! Let's see what all of us can do and come up with in the next 48-72 hours. And let's just do it!

ROARRrrrrRRRRRrRRRR!!!!!

Greetings Perak Leos!!!!!

A big BIG Welcome Back to the official Perak Leo Blog... I have recently done a facelift to it, adding new stuff and soon, we will combine more news into one!!!! Right here.. on the Official PERAK LEOS ROAR!, your online portal!!!! 

In this fiscal year, 2010/2011, our state of Perak, is divided into Region 4 & 5 following the District's guidelines of Lions Clubs division of regions. Even so, I strongly believe the two regions will still combine our hearts and soul together to bring out the best in leadership, events and activities as PERAK ..... WE ARE ONE!!!

We have just recently completed our RCC meeting and we shall be organizing more projects to build our regions 4 & 5 from leadership training to workshops, community services to health projects and more! Do contact me or Lion Mary Goh for any information that you need. We will be more than happy to be there for you to guide your path to a successful year ahead of you!

If you remember during Lion Alan's briefing at the RCC meeting, he urged all  Leo Clubs to SERVE with PASSION as our District Lions theme. It is only with that unconditional Passion that we will be able to be STRONGER THAN BEFORE!!!!!

Also, if you do not know by now, RCC for Leo Clubs Region 4, Lion Mary Goh, was awarded the International President Certificate for her excellent services rendered to the welfare of the community and the upbringing of the Leos in Perak. Also, other Lions in Ipoh who have received this a month back was DC Lion Alan Thoo, Lion Simon Leong, Lion Baki Zainal and myself, all from IMNC Lions Club! We believe as long as you put your hearts to it, and go that distance.. dont turn back.. u wil surely make it! Roar!!!!!

I am also very happy to see that at the start of the fiscal year, we already have a cross regional project taking place... Even though we are from the same state, but Leo Club of Pei Yuan (Region 5 Kampar) and Leo Club of Sam Tet (Ipoh Region 4) combined efforts to visit Vision Home and actually cook for the orphans there! Heeding the call of DC Leo, Lion Alan Thoo at the RCC meeting, the two clubs took up the challenge to MAKE A DIFFERENCE at this visit rather than doing something that has been done before! A big hand to their effort! Keep up that spirit!!! Roar!!!!

Please contact me or FB tag me on your activities for me to post here ya!

IMPORTANT: Travelling Cross Regions and Goodbye!

Dear Leos,

In lieu of the great response from myself encouraging more cross regional or even cross district projects... I would like to stress on a few main issues prior to committing ya:

Fishing Fish by Fishermen...

I always like to use Fish and Chicken in my theories and stories. I remember my interview for the Star on the CelebriTeens came out about the "Chicken and the Fish " story.... ha ha ha. you may google that up. Today, I would like to talk about Fishing Fish by Fishermen...

Imagine this... there are many Fishermen groups that set sail everyday.. out to the ocean. To grade these Fishermen... let's separate them to some form of categories.

1. The Fishermen that want to learn, why is it after tons of hardwork, days of endurement, years of torture etc etc... their catch is still low as compare to others
2. The Fishermen that have garnered successful catches everytime they go out.. hugeeeee success every year, but out of a sudden, the catch start to drop!!!!
3. The Fishermen that have problems with their boats, their rod, net, engine.. you name it! The catch is low not because the fishermen is not hardworking. it simply is because they do not have the "equipment", or perhaps, even the knowledge of how to catch better fish... eventhough their equipment is not soooo canggih!
4. The Fishermen who has trouble with manpower...
5. The Fishermen who has issues with the "Fishing" authorities.
6. The Fishermen who don't bother how much fish they catch!!!!
7. The Fishermen whose head is effective, highly energetic, but the others in the team not bothered or motivated to do fishing!!!!

Imagine there's this entire fishing village that has a few groups of fishermen with the attitude as above...

- Some have better boats... faster, more high tech, you name it!!!
- Some have nets and some don't.. some only have rods
- Some have too many head fishermen!
- Some have great head fishermen, but hopeless helpers, or great helpers with lousy heads...!
- Some have problems with the "fishing" authorities.. where the boats are not allowed to set sail at all!!!!!
- Some have their "fathers" and "mothers" trying to over-rule their plans and create issues..
- Some groups are simply not interested at all in fishing!
... bla bla bla... the list goes on and on!!!

When some of the fishermen came home with big catches... or at the ANNUAL FISHERMEN CATCHES OF THE YEAR....some fishermen groups got big catches, or big or many awards of recognition for their hardwork etc etc.... like the BEST FISHERMEN, the FASTEST FISHERMEN, the MOST EFFECTIVE FISHERMEN.....whatever....!


But, REMEMBER......at the end of the day.... it is the FISHERMEN, that went out to the sea.. battled with the storms and calmness of the oceans... it is the hardship that the fishermen endured to get what they so desire to have...TO ACHIEVE THE INEVITABLE.. THE IMPOSSIBLE...!!!!

Hence, the Village Head might just want to say...
"There's no need to thank me cause the catch is done by you and your team! Not me. Cause I just taught you how to fish. I didn't fish for you....It was you who set sail out to the oceans... I was just waiting at the shores for your return"

~ Moral of the story ~
When the fishermen have gained success.... It's not the Village Head's work. It's the Fishermen themselves... that deserve every single recognition! Remember that! Be proud of what you have all achieved...

Twinning Ceremony of Leo Clubs of Ipoh Unity, Malaysia & South Kowloon, Hong Kong

It was the fellowship that blossomed during the OSEAL Leo Forum in Hong Kong in 2008 that sparked the idea and thoughts of a twinning ceremony between the Leo Clubs of Ipoh Unity & South Kowloon, Hong Kong!

Communication was never put to an end as there will always be Skype, MSN, emails etc etc... the friendship between members of the two clubs continued for weeks after the OSEAl event.. and the idea came by.. an official twinning ceremony!!!! Firstly, the Leo Club of South Kowloon members flew in for a ceremony in Ipoh with Lion Dignitaries like District Governor Kenneth Saw, Multiple District Chairperson for Leo Clubs Lion Dato' Khoo Kay Huat; District Chairperson for Leo Clubs Lion May Cheah.. to name a few.... witnessing a historical event for Region 3! Many Leos from all over the District also turned up for the event!

Flashback: Leo Club of Ipoh Unity's visit to Hong Kong!

Members of the Leo Club of Ipoh Unity were invited by the South Kowloon Leos to teach children from a home to sing in English... truly a great community service project!!!
Go Ipoh Unity!!!!


A night before the Twinning Ceremony in Hong Kong....
the local Leos organized a Fellowship Steamboat dinner with Lions Club of South Kowloon members, Cabinet officers from District 303 (HK & Macau), Leos & Lions from Ipoh!

THE MEMORABLE & HISTORICAL TWINNING CEREMONY!!!!

From left: In-coming President Lion Simon Leong (Ipoh Metro NC), In-coming President Leo Steven Tiw (St.Michael), Ipoh Unity members- Anna, Yau Kin, Chee Kiat, Eliza & Geraldine & RCC Ln Alan Thoo

Here's me, as the Regional Committee Chairperson for Leo Clubs for
Region 3, representative for District 308B2... I had to give a speech in a mixture of
English and Cantonese... haha.. that was fun.

The signing ceremony & exchange of country flags

"I love you with all my heart"...
"Me Too...."
Kidding! The background at the back, and the two of them in
beautiful evening wear... it's certainly "looked" like a wedding ceremony! :P
That's Leo Christine Chan & Leo Foong Chee Kiat giving a speech of
thanks to the all the guests who were present that night!

Approximately 20++ Leo Clubs attended the event!

Left: Leo Foong Chee Kiat (Ipoh Unity) & Leo Christine Chan (South Kowloon)

Truly a night to remember for all!!!

UPDATES: AWARDS @ LEO FORUM

Hey folks!!!

I have been receiving tons of phone calls and emails on the application of awards etc etc! Alright, perhaps, I wasn't too clear the other day with my posting, hence, here we go:

Download form here!

Info:
1. Only President, VP, or Secretary to fill up this and email it back to me NO LATER than 25 April. Other individuals, please do not bother sending any please.
2. Scan all relevant supporting documents like newspaper cuttings, Principal recommendation letter (if any), SPM results slips for School Academy Awards etc etc
3. If you are sending more than 1 file, please ZIP the entire file
4. When you send your file, kindly rename the file to:
awards_clubname.doc or awards_clubname.zip
5. You do not need to get any signatures for this form, as it is just a summary. I will still cross check all your applications and information provided with your PAR, MAAR1 & make some phone calls too. Hence, if you only have 20 members, and you put 120 members; OR you didn't do that project, you just went out and snap 2-3 photos of your BOD posing as if you have done the project.. then... Oh well... I will withdraw ALL awards even if you achieve any of them!
6. Some of your members might get special awards eventhough if you do not apply any of it

Last but not least - Dont "over-over" when you fill up the form as I believe I know each and every project and club that is in Region 3. :)

Good Luck!!!!

.... you get my point right?

DISCLAIMER: By sending out the email, doesnt warrant you 100% of guarantee that your club members will get the awards. We will randomly call up respective person(s) to check if your claims are valid or not. If found invalid (i.e. you beria-ria want to put a project name which is fake) I will terminate all awards that are supposed to be presented to your clubs.

:) Happy submitting!

I will not reply to you and tell you if you have submitted wrongly ya. I will just not submit for you. Ha ha ha. :) I think, after my strict admission of reports for the last 2 fiscal years..., I strongly believe that you should know by now, what and how to submit your reports as per requirements. :)

It has been great serving Region 3, and I hope that I have done my best to fulfill this position and have brought a change to "LEO-ism" this last 2 fiscal year in Perak. I enjoyed each and every function that I attended, meeting, visit, project etc etc!

I'm very proud of EACH & EVERYONE of you as you have been great LEO B.O.Ds for this fiscal year! I hope that Region 3 can shine in this Leo Forum! Let me correct that.. wait...I'm pretty SURE.. that Region 3.. WILL SHINE!

You all have been through loads of tough trainings, stringen rules & regulations imposed by your sponsoring Lions Clubs, school, etc etc... BUT... look @ where you're at right now! A proud Out-going BOD! Looking back one day... you will definitely tell yourself.. "I made a change in the club! I;m darned proud of it!!!!" ... and that's what/why I'm proud of you all today!

That;s life...! Well, when you go to Uni later, it'll be different lifestyle.. different groups of friends, focus, etc etc. The environment changes, and you have to adapt no matter what. When you finish Uni and start taking that bold step in the hypocritical world of WORKING... you'll (again) have to adapt to the new lifestyle, environment etc etc!

To me.. you fellas are gonna shine! No matter where you are. Cause, no matter come what may, sunshine or rain; running across millions of miles, thousands of oceans, hundreds of rivers... you have that little LION SPIRIT in you that will make you stand up whenever you fall... pick yourself right up no matter come what may!

Even if I'm not going to your next RCC, doesnt really matter. I'm just a phone call away should you need any help ya!!! Do hauler! :) This is my very last duty as the RCC... HAHAHA hence.. let's make my life less miserable and not give me lotz of headaches! :P

Oh ya...Have you voted yet, by the way? if not.. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????

EARTH HOUR - Region 3 Leo Clubs (Perak, Malaysia)

Earth Hour..28th March 2009... marked a day and time where the whole world came as one.. united in creating awareness to spread the Global Warming issue + to encourage the idea of consuming less energy...!

The Leo Clubs in Region 3... gathered forces to 'celebrate' Earth Hour together with the Children from Salvation Army Jalan Kampar, Ipoh. Approximately 50 odd Leos attended the event even though it was at night.. but everyone surely had a great time despite of the nasty weather!

Congrats!!!! For whatever you did, Leos from Region 3... we were all
part of the 550Mega Watt reduction of energy usgae in that hour alone!!!


Leos from Region 3 gave a sumptious treat to the Salvation
Army Children before all the programme started!

Before the Earth Hour mark @ 8.30pm, Leos were entertaining the children by playing singing & dancing games!

Everyone was given a small torch light just incase they needed to move
around.. yup...It was 8.30pm already!!!!

In the dark, Leos and Lions continued the fun to play games with the children... RCC Lion Alan Thoo also read out a story and Leos played acting game too!

Leos using candle to form "60 LEO".. which symbolized
Leo Clubs' involvement in the project!

At 9.30pm. it doesnt mean the end of Earth Hour....
It just merely marked the beginning!!!!!

SBC, St Michaels, Anderson & Sam Tet Leos

Here's a video for everyone!




Roar! Roar! ROARRRRR!!!!!!

YOU COULD BE THE NEXT ONE ON THE PLANE!!!

Dear all FUTURE YOUTH EXCHANGEES,

Listen up! You have about 2 more weeks to decide if you want to be enlisted as the next Youth Exchangee from Malaysia.. to represent District 308B2 from Malaysia to another country.. like Japan.. New Zealand.. Australia and many more!!

The Youth Exchange (YE) program gives you a chance to experience culture from another country, and at the same time, spread our Malaysian culture to the rest of the world~! And amidst that, you get to learn about how Leos and Lions work in another country, and perhaps, bring some great ideas back to our District too! There are so many great benefits of joining the YE program designed specially for you... last batch of YE alone, had quite a number of LEOs from our Region.. PERAK... going abroad. YOU COULD BE THE NEXT ONE!!!!! Talk to your parents.. talk to your seniors.. TALK to your advisors ....

Picture of Lion Mary Goh with Youth Exchangees in
KLIA before they depart for their adventure early this year!

Leo Daniel Fung from Leo Club of Jln Pasir Puteh (JPP) in Japan!

Leo Daniel snowboarding with his host family members!

Leo Yong Chen Hao in foreign Media!

Leo Gun Hui Ling...

Leo Mark Tuen

And before you leave, you normally attend a fun-filled
Youth Exchange Camp.. as seen here!!!

SO, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???!!!!
As a Leo, I never gotten a chance to take part in the YE Program..
When I decided to travel on my own to other countries to learn about the culture and enjoy the food there... etc etc.. it costs a bomb!

Here, with the YE Program designed for you...
It only costs you your flight ticket + a little more on admin etc etc fees...!
+ you get to stay there for quite a while!!!!

Take up tis challenge!!!
TALK TO YOU PARENTS NOW...
Talk to your advisors now!!!!

Learn about the YE Program RIGHT NOW!!!!
For Ipoh Host sponsored clubs, kindly obtain more information from Lion Andy Lim. For other Leo Clubs in Region 3, kindly refer to
Zone Chairperson Lion CA Lau from (IBC Lions Club)
or Lion Mary Goh!!!

I'll see you @ KLIA before you fly off.. that's for sure ya! :)
