Therefore we had our glorious meeting on the 24th August 2013, Saturday to commemorate our independence with our theme "The Independence Day"
The meeting started at 9.40am, it started 10mins late due to it being a lazy day, therefore, many of the role players were slightly late but the show MUST go on! So our SAA for the morning Yean Yi,CC started off the meeting and handed the control to the President Dylan Chew, CL to give his president's address. He got everyone to introduce themselves, where they are from and if they were the leader of a country, what would they do to make it a better country?
The TOM (Toastmaster of the Morning) Azwan Jamaluddin,CC then stole the spotlight from the Prez in which it was his first time ever taking up this role!! "There is a first for everything"
He then got the role players to explain their roles and handed the floor to the TTM (Table Topic Master), Ahmad Tarmidzi (TJ) Johan, CC from UWM Toyota TMC for the....
TABLE TOPICS SESSION!
Most of the talking we do every day – simple conversation – is impromptu speaking. Yet for some members, TABLE TOPICS™ is the most challenging part of a Toastmasters meeting.
Benefits from taking part in table topics
- Become more fluent.
- Learn how you can, with a minimum of preparation, present your thoughts in a clear, organized fashion,
- Learn to listen carefully and tailor your remarks to the question presented to you.
- Practice drawing on your own knowledge and experience on the topic.
1st Victim: Subra, When would you want Independence Day to be?
2nd Victim: Seng Kiat, When is World Independence?
3rd Victim: Azwan, If you were TAR (Tunku Abdul Rahman), what else would you say? 1957
4th Victim: Shaun, What would your Independence Day be like?
5th Victim: Yean yi, What would you abolish for your Independence Day?
6th Victim: Melvin, Direct a 2nd Independence Day movie.
The TTM did a tremendous job in coming up with the topics and controlling the flow from one speaker to the next! After 6 compelling speeches relative to our theme 'The Independence Day', the spotlight was passed to the TTE (Table Topics Evaluator) Pravinan Lai, TM by the TOM for his constructive criticism and words of encourage for the speakers.
TOM then took back control of what was rightfully his, 'The Spotlight' and introduced to the audience what was next on the agenda. It was the...
PREPARED SPEECH SESSION!
First on the list was Melvin Tan, TM VPE of INTI TMC with his project speech 6 entitled: , and his 'SEXY' evaluator was non other than the VPE of Taylor's University TMC, Yean Yi, CC
Right after Melvin's fascinating speech, we then had a:
RECESSSSSS! for 10mins
Look who decided to pop by!! (2 MIAs)

SAA called meeting to order again, however... this time we had a slight change in plans. Instead of having the next speech right after the break, we went straight into the evaluations to buy the speaker's evaluator some time. So the TOM passed the control of the meeting to the beautiful Ms GE (General Evaluator) Sher Li, ACB, ALB from Sunway TMC and also a C4 Governor of 4 Toastmaster clubs to take control of the:
EVALUATION SESSION!
