PRESIDENT’S
DIARY FOR THE WEEK
(9 September – 15 September 2015)
DEAR FELLOW ROTARIANS,
T
he most fruitful meeting of all for this week was our meeting with Mr
Sulip R Menon, Director of Commercial of Peremba CSM SB together
with their General Manager – Ms Khoi Hoay Ling on the possible CSR
project with RCPJ. Mr Sulip is very familiar with Rotary as he was an
Interactor and I was so glad to have PDG David Ho accompanied me
for the meeting as they touches on history of Rotary and District, PDG
David is a walking encyclopedia as he almost knew it all. He saved
my day!
This week also our last lapse for the preparation of Rotary Day. The
organizing team is very stressed-up to ensure a good show on 19
September 2015. Let’s all be there to support them !
RCPJ meeting with Peremba CSM Sdn Bhd
11th Sept 2015. It has been our goals to be constantly looking for corporate to partner for CSR effort. Our
meeting with Peremba has gotten us a step closer to our goal. As we approached Peremba for our Rotary
Day sponsor, we came to know they are interested to work on CSR projects which will be self-sustainable in
long term and benefits the community. At RCPJ, we are currently working on few major community projects
and they are interested to find out more on our Paya Mengkuang Orang Asli – rebuilding of Balai for Orang
Asli children, Rain Harvesting projects at our Interactor Schools and the training of Child Advocators at our
Interactor Schools.
After close to 2 hours of meeting, with better understanding on the 3 projects, they have shown interest to
consider partnering for the 3 projects. It is indeed a good start for us. Having said that, they need to present
these proposals to their Directors for their approval at company level. We sincerely hope the response is
positive. At the meantime, we have to kick start our 1st Rain Harvesting Project as soon to know the cost
and challenges for this project as we need to table the working paper for the duplication of the project to
all schools. Besides, Peremba will also like to know the cost of the
project. I will personally working closely with PP Ellias, Catholic High
School and the contractor to ensure it starts before end of this year.
Luncheon Talk by Ir AK Woo of Master Jaya Engineering on
Air Pollution Treatment
15th September 2015. Ir AK Woo, the Managing Director of Master
Jaya Engineering was sharing with us on Air Pollution treatment and
management for the industry standard. Although the application
method is not suitable for household, but we have learnt the importance
thePeejayPost

Issue11,RY2015-2016
of air pollution treatment and industry management. Aside from the
regulations compliance, pollution prevention can be used as revenue,
particularly in the recovery of cements in the treatment of cement
exhaust.
Ir AK Woo is a veteran in the industry and has been an active member
of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) and other related
associations. As he is approaching retirement, Ir AK is training up his
next generations to be the successor to his business. And by then, we
hope Ir AK will be part of us in Rotary to serve the community.
Rotary, Family, Service to the Community
15th September 2015. I always share with my friends and colleagues,
that Rotary is my extended family. Aside from my immediate family, the
next person I met the most is my Rotary friends. Just like today, we met
at lunch, and later in the evening, we meet again for the community
service meeting.
We have Rotary Day Final Committee meeting & September Board
Meeting at the same venue at Rotarian Victor’s residence. Thank you
so much to the host, Victor and Min Si, they have to made up the house
to ensure it is cozy to host the 20 of us.
This Rotary year, we try our best to bring back the good old days of RCPJ – where hosting of meeting is
held at Rotarian’s residence. It was a great fellowship and meetings. Rotary Day meeting started at 7.45pm
and ended at 10pm and then followed by BOD meeting and end at 11.15pm then followed by fellowship
till 12.30am the next day. It was a marathon, but everyone enjoyed the moment. And yes, soon, we are
inducting our 46th members to our Club – Mr Jegan. Jegan and wife Gina ran resorts and hotels. They are
parents to one of our Interactor and we are looking forward having them into our Rotary Family. This is Rotary
and we are proud to be a Rotarian !
NO Tuesday Meeting on 22 September (Tuesday) Rotary Day event on 19 September 2015 is a
rotary meeting for all Rotarian. It is therefore, NO meeting for the following Tuesday on 22 September. Kindly
take note. Our next regular meeting will be an Evening Meeting on 29 September at Grand Dorsett,
speaker is a Standup Comedian Mr Prakash Daniel. Please invite friends and families to join us for a
chilled out event.
Sincerely,
Rianne Chin

WHAT PEACE MEANS TO ME
To commemorate the International Day of Peace, we share the personal perceptions of Rotary Peace Fellows
People and nations worldwide will observe the International Day of Peace on 21 September, the date
designated by the United Nations in 2001 “to be observed as a day of global ceasefire and nonviolence.”
That commitment to peace is directly linked to goals pursued by Rotary members since The Rotary
Foundation’s mission to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace was proclaimed in 1917.
To fulfill that mission, Rotary conducts global forums, hosts international peace symposiums, continues its
decades-long collaboration with the UN, and promotes initiatives such as the Rotarian Action Group for
Peace.
Rotary’s most tangible effort to build peace and promote conflict resolution is the Rotary Peace Centers
program, established in 2002. Each year, the program prepares future leaders to work for peace through
a two-year master’s degree program or a three-month professional certificate program at Rotary’s partner
universities around the world.
Today, more than 900 of these peace fellowship alumni are applying their expertise -- easing tensions
in border conflicts, drafting legislation to protect exploited children, providing security to diplomats, and
pursuing many other career paths devoted to peace.

The World Health Organization announced on 25 September that Nigeria is now polio-free.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on 25 September that Nigeria is now polio-free and has been
officially removed from the list of countries where polio is endemic. It’s been 14 months since any cases of polio caused
by the wild virus have been detected there.
With Nigeria’s historic achievement, polio remains endemic in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan. That
means transmission of the virus has never been stopped there.
Nigeria was the last country in Africa where polio was endemic. The continent celebrated its own first full year without
the disease on 11 August. Once three years have passed without a case in WHO’s entire African region, officials will
certify polio eradicated there.
“Rotary congratulates Nigeria on its tremendous accomplishment in stopping polio,” says RI President K.R. Ravindran.
“On behalf of the entire Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), we thank volunteers, health workers, and parents
in communities across Nigeria for their tireless commitment to ensuring every last child is protected against this
devastating disease. In the months ahead, their dedication will remain as important as ever, as we work to keep Nigeria
polio-free and to eliminate polio from its final strongholds in Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
Nigeria’s success is the result of several sustained efforts, including domestic and international financing, the
commitment of thousands of health workers, and new strategies that reached children who had not previously been
immunized because of a lack of security in the country’s northern states.

TYPE 2 POLIOVIRUS GONE FOR GOOD
In other encouraging news, an independent global health commission officially verified on 21 September that wild poliovirus type 2,
one of three strains of the wild virus, has been eradicated worldwide. Although the last type 2 case was detected back in 1999, the
confirmation is an important milestone, as Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative prepare to switch from a
form of the vaccine that targets all polio types to one that does not protect against type 2.
The announcement by the Global Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication confirms that only two strains of the
wild poliovirus remain. Of those, type 3 wild poliovirus hasn’t been detected in almost three years, and wild poliovirus type 1 is
endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
FUNDING INCREASE NEEDED TO REACH FINAL GOAL
On 25 September, the GPEI’s Polio Oversight Board met to determine the next steps needed to eradicate polio. The group concluded
that $1.5 billion in new funding is needed to help Rotary and its partners end polio in the next few years. With Nigeria now poliofree, spending will focus on the most vulnerable children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, while continuing to shield millions of children
already living in polio-free countries.
“With a fully funded program and global commitment to ending this disease, we have the opportunity to interrupt transmission of the
wild poliovirus in Pakistan and Afghanistan in 2016, opening the door for certification of a global eradication in 2019,” says Michael
K. McGovern, chair of Rotary’s International PolioPlus Committee. “With [Rotary members’] continued support, we will soon see our
dream of a polio-free world realized.”
