Now just what do you do during this month? In the Club, we try to carry out activities that concerns the New Generations. This responsibility is given to the New Gen Director who oversees these activities which involves basically the Rotaractors, the Interactors and all youth. In the regular club meeting, the programme chairman can invite a youth (be him/her a person from the Rotaract or Interact) to talk about anything that concerns today’s youth. Some subjects can be their attitude towards today’s education, their concern over today’s social problems, drugs, dating, the Internet, parental guidance etc. Or a forum can be organised for either experts or the youth themselves to discuss these issues. One would be surprised to discover that what the adults or authorities think might be greatly divergent from what the youth think. In this cyber age when information can be obtain with just a click of the computer, the youth of today is perhaps the most knowledgeable ever. However knowledgeable is one thing, and attitude is another. So it would help the authorities a lot to know some of these youth’s attitudes so that the formulated laws are not in conflict with their desires and thinking. Otherwise enforcing the laws would be difficult. The Rotaractors and Interactors themselves can organised projects that project their activities. This is important as their activities are considered to be healthy activities and can act as a lure from otherwise unhealthy activities. Some of their projects can involve visits to old folks home, thus teaching them to be respectful to senior citizens and parents, or a project that tells about the dangers of the use of illegal substance like drugs. It might even be as simple as doing a painting job for their school in respect of Interactors. The Rotary Club of Pudu has consciously done many projects with the New Generations during the month of September. One such project was an outing to Keyir Dam with a group of wayward youth to promote family values. Another one was a trip to the Endau Rompin Rainforest with Interactors, Rotaractors, handicapped youths, International student to promote fellowship amongst them and also to give them an awareness of environmental protection. We had also carried out an exhibition of the danger of the use of illegal drugs meant mainly for the youth. September is an important month for all Rotary Clubs as it asks us to be consciously aware of today’s youth problems. Rotary has asked us to not only think about them, but to do something as well. The well known statement comes to mind “the youth of today are tomorrow’s leaders”. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE September is New Generations Month in the Rotary calendar. This is the time for us as Rotarians to focus on the programs that support the development of youths and young adults. If we believe that young people are the leaders of tomorrow, we should then, support the development of youths and young adults in the most beneficial ways possible. Again, this reminds us of R.I President, John Kenny’s Rotary Theme – “The Future of Rotary Is In Your Hands” – he strongly emphasis that it is important indeed for every Rotarian to play a significant role in shaping the future of Rotary. Every youth and young adult are our potential Rotarian. Hence, every Rotarian is an example to the youth and young adult. from Simon Sim Thai Fong As business leaders, Rotarians are always in a unique position to provide vocational guidance and career opportunities to young people. Rotarians also promote the ideal of service to young people through Interact club programs. Ultimately, for more than four decades, Pudu Rotary Club has sponsored 9 Interact Clubs around the Pudu prefecture. In this avenue of service, for these young people, programs such as Career Development, Rotary Rotaract Interact Games, Youth Exchange, Community and International Understanding Projects are being organized. Nevertheless, one of the most effective program is our own profound Interact Leadership Training Seminar (ILTS). Every year around the month of March or early April, without fail, youths between the ages of 12 and 18 are given the opportunity to learn how to work together in fellowship dedicated to service and international understanding in this seminar before they take office as Interactors.

Every Rotaract is a potential Rotarian, so we should continuously consider supporting and nurturing them to be our future leaders as our highest prerogatives. In our District 3300, for more than 36 years , Pudu Rotary Club have sponsored one and the only one community-minded men and women Rotaract Club and these Rotaractors are involved, energetic, and very committed to the Rotary ideal of service. You will find their fresh ideas, and perspectives to be most valuable and their presence help energize and inspired the Club, if you have the opportunity to work with them in their community projects. Indeed, they too, have done us proud.

Handing Over Ceremony of • 2 scooters as First Responder by Rotary Club of Pudu • 30 tyres for ambulances by Goodyear Marketing Sdn Bhd • RM10,000 donation by Inner Wheels Kuala Lumpur In line with our motto “For the Service of Mankind”, we, are always ready to serve the needy. Hence, we always look for better improvement in the quality of our service to the public. We are grateful that our regular donors never put a stop supporting us on the effort that we have given to the public. Rotary Club of Pudu has a long partner-in-service relationship with St. John Ambulance, Kawasan Pantai Selangor. The first project was The Dialysis Centre in Klang, where Rotary Club of Pudu raised RM270K for 6 dialysis machines for the centre. The second one was much more ambitious where RM800K was raised to equip the centre in Rawang. The third centre was in Raub where 10 dialysis machines worth RM450K were put in. The forth centre was in Shah Alam where RM500K worth of machines were put into service. All 4 centres are utilized and running well. You are now invited to the launching of our fifth project with St. John Ambulance, Kawasan Pantai Selangor “First Responder in Emergency”. This is to test the effectiveness of the first responder concept. Where fast and immediate response is critical and in view of the constant traffic congestion, we feel the motorcycle is most appropriate. The 2 motorcycles are fully equipped with the necessary life saving tools for fast and effective application handled by St John’s trained staff worth RM33,000. If proven effective, this may be introduced to other densely populated cities with heavy traffic problems. We believe that with such service, we can respond to the emergency cases competently and efficiently. Again, we would like to thank Rotary Club of Pudu for their enormous contribution. Goodyear Marketing Sdn Bhd is continuing their great work by donating 30 tyres for our ambulances. We, as a NGO, always to need to raise sufficient fund to sustain our daily operation, especially the high ambulance maintenance cost that we have to cover for all these years. We are thankful that their contribution makes us able to facilitate the ambulances maintenance cost efficiency. And, we really appreciate that the Inner Wheels Kuala Lumpur has pledged RM10,000 cash to our organization. We hope to help the needy with the fund donated. We are glad that YB Datin Paduka Senator Chew Mei Fun is invited as our Guest of Honour to witness our handing over ceremony on this day. We thank her for great support towards our effort to accomplish our mission to contribute for the society.

Idea penggunaan motosikal skuter dilihat sebagai satu cara yang mampu menyelamatkan nyawa mangsa kemalangan secepat mungkin. Menyedari keperluan sedemikian, Kelab Rotary Pudu membentuk kerjasama dengan Persatuan St John Ambulans Malaysia kawasan Pantai Selangor untuk mengurangkan kadar risiko kematian pengguna jalan raya melalui penubuhan `First Responder in Emergency’. Kelab itu menyumbangkan RM33,000 bersama dua skuter, manakala Kelab Inner Wheels menyumbangkan RM10,000 yang akan digunakan untuk memberi bantuan kecemasan awal. Syarikat Goodyear Sdn Bhd pula menyumbangkan 35 tayar bagi kegunaan ambulans persatuan itu. Semua sumbangan itu disampaikan Timbalan Menteri Wanita, Keluarga dan Pembangunan Masyarakat, Datin Paduka Senator Chew Mei Fun, pada majlis ringkas di premis persatuan itu. Ketika berucap pada majlis itu, Chew berkata, penggunaan motosikal lebih praktikal untuk membawa ahli paramedik ke tempat kemalangan berbanding ambulans yang terpaksa mengambil masa lama untuk tiba berikutan kesesakan jalan raya. “Saya percaya nyawa yang berharga dapat diselamatkan melalui cara ini. Jika kaedah ini berjaya, saya berharap ia dapat diperkenalkan di kawasan yang dikenal pasti mencatat angka kemalangan tertinggi,” katanya. Antara kawasan yang mencatatkan kadar kemalangan tinggi ialah di Klang dan Kuala Lumpur. Seramai 1.2 juta orang terbunuh akibat kemalangan jalan raya setiap tahun di seluruh dunia dan jumlah itu dijangka meningkat kepada 65 peratus dalam tempoh 20 tahun akan datang jika tiada usaha dilakukan bagi meminimumkan angka korban itu. Statistik di Malaysia pula menunjukkan lebih 6,200 orang terbunuh di jalan raya setiap tahun dan setiap hari tiga penunggang motosikal mengalami kecederaan dengan satu daripadanya terbunuh, manakala ada yang menderita akibat kecederaan dialami. Kerjasama antara Persatuan St John Ambulans Malaysia dengan Kelab Rotary Pudu terus mantap apabila berjaya mewujudkan empat rangkaian Pusat Haemodialisis bernilai RM2 juta di empat kawasan terpilih antaranya Klang dan Shah Alam selain beroperasi di 13 Pusat Dialisis seluruh Selangor.

President’s Message ...(continues from page 2) When was the last time you attended the Service to New Generations Avenue Meeting? When was the last time you have attended the Rotaract Club General Meeting, Club Assembly or their Board Meeting?

ATTENDENCE COMPETITION To promote better fellowship Dear fellow Pudu Rotarians, As we are all aware, Rotary was founded on fellowship and friendship. Thus fellowship is recognized as the Foundation Stone of Rotary. This foundation has helped Rotary to survive two world wars and numerous world disasters and calamities. To achieve or strengthen this bond of fellowship and friendship, Rotary International has listed as one its requirements of a Rotarian the need to attend weekly Rotary meetings as meetings provide “the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service” – first part of Object of Rotary. Club members attending our weekly meetings provide us the opportunity to enhance friendship with each other so as to enable us to join hands to serve. Thus has been said that “we can’t promote fellowship with empty chairs”. Rotary Clubs throughout the Rotary world regularly innovate programmers to encourage attendance. Amongst the numerous methods is the attendance competition within the club. This competition is not just to promote better attendance but also to provide a spirit of friendly fun competition. Our President Robin Tay has mooted the idea of an attendance competition for this Rotary Year where all our club members (except the exempt members) are divided into 11 groups of 4 members each. Each group will be headed by a board of director who will be responsible to monitor and encourage better attendance. With this simple fun attendance competition, we For further clarifications please liaise with the Attendance Competition Chairman, K.K. Yap or Club Service Director Rtn. Asok Kumar. Speech by YB Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun: It is indeed an honour for me to be invited to launch this timely and most needed community service project called “First Responder in Emergency” which will definitely save some lives. Road accidents is projected as the third leading cause of the global burden of disease by year 2020 according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), if there is no new intervention to resolve this problem. In fact, road traffic injuries are a major but neglected public health challenge that requires concerted efforts for effective and sustainable prevention. It is estimated that 1.2 million men, women and children are killed in road crashes each year and millions more seriously injured globally. Projections indicate that these figures will increase by about 65% the next 20 years unless there is new commitment to prevention. In Malaysia, more than 6,200 Malaysians are killed annually on our roads. Everyday, 3 people are injured, 1 suffer from severe injury in motor vehicle every hour and 17 people die in road accidents. The high number of road accidents injuries and deaths in Malaysia has devastating effects directly on the affected families and the larger community. The Government is committed to minimise injuries and casualties due to road crashes. In line with this, the Ministry of Transport has adopted a 5-year plan, namely Road Safety Plan of Malaysia, 2006-2010 in 2006. The Plan outlines 9 strategis to address road safety issues covering education, enforcement, engineering and environmental issue. Ladies and gentlemen, As most of you may be well aware, densely populated areas especially in KL and Klang are infamous for traffic congestion. As such, in the event of any emergency especially road accidents in these areas, ambulances may encounter much difficulty in having to squeeze through heavy traffic. Thus, during emergencies, the first responder in the form of fully equipped motorcycles will most effectively reach victimsurvivors promptly and thus able to administer necessary first aid promptly. I believe many precious lives could be saved in this way. If proven to be successful, I hope this will be introduced to other densely populated areas. I take this opportunity to say “syabas” to St John Ambulans and the Rotary Club of Pudu. Some of you may know I am an honorary member of the Rotary Club of Pudu and I am truly proud of this project as well as other projects carried out by the club. I understand we have a long partner-in-service relationship with St John Ambulans, Kawasan Pantai Selangor. Both organizations share the ideal of service to the community. The Rotary Club of Pudu and St John have successfully set up 4 dialysis centres in Klang, Rawang, Raub and Shah Alam and I believe about RM2 million have been raised. All the centres are doing well and servicing mainly the lower-income groups. As I understand, St John Ambulance operates 13 dialysis centres in the country. On behalf of all the patients and their families, I thank you for your great contribution to society. The spirit and dedication of your organization is commendable and admirable. Further to this, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Inner Club of Kuala Lumpur for donating RM10,000 to St John Ambulance and Goodyears Tyres for contributing tyres for ambulances of St John. I understand Goodyear has been doing that consistently for many years. This is indeed a notable effort in assisting another deserving NGO to fulfill its mission for their service to humanity. With this, once again, from the bottom of my heart, “SYABAS” and “Thank You” to all the generous donors and all of you for coming in numbers to support this noble and life saving project organized by Rotary Club of Pudu and St John Ambulance Malaysia. Thank you and may you have a wonderful weekend.

Malangnya, bukan untuk membantu, sebaliknya sekadar mengetahui sama ada kemalangan itu teruk dan menyebabkan kematian atau sekadar calar pada badan kenderaan. Apa yang dibimbangkan ialah sikap begini akan hanya menyusahkan pasukan penyelamat, terutama jika kemalangan itu membabitkan nyawa dan memerlukan rawatan segera. Statistik Persatuan St John Ambulans menunjukkan 17 orang terbabit dalam nahas jalan raya setiap jam. Sehubungan itu, bantuan kecemasan awal penting untuk menentukan sama ada mangsa mampu bertahan atau kecederaan menjadi lebih teruk dan akhirnya membawa kepada kematian. Tindakan pemandu ambulans membunyikan siren juga tidak banyak membantu kerana ramai seolah-olah memekakkan telinga, selain keadaan lalu lintas yang sesak teruk sehingga menyukarkan pemandu kenderaan lain memberi laluan. Idea penggunaan motosikal skuter dilihat sebagai satu cara yang mampu menyelamatkan nyawa mangsa kemalangan secepat mungkin. Menyedari keperluan sedemikian, Kelab Rotary Pudu membentuk kerjasama dengan Persatuan St John Ambulans Malaysia kawasan Pantai Selangor untuk mengurangkan kadar risiko kematian pengguna jalan raya melalui penubuhan `First Responder in Emergency’. Kelab itu menyumbangkan RM33,000 bersama dua skuter, manakala Kelab Inner Wheels menyumbangkan RM10,000 yang akan digunakan untuk memberi bantuan kecemasan awal. Syarikat Goodyear Sdn Bhd pula menyumbangkan 35 tayar bagi kegunaan ambulans persatuan itu. Semua sumbangan itu disampaikan Timbalan Menteri Wanita, Keluarga dan Pembangunan Masyarakat, Datin Paduka Senator Chew Mei Fun, pada majlis ringkas di premis persatuan itu. Ketika berucap pada majlis itu, Chew berkata, penggunaan motosikal lebih praktikal untuk membawa ahli paramedik ke tempat kemalangan berbanding ambulans yang terpaksa mengambil masa lama untuk tiba berikutan kesesakan jalan raya. “Saya percaya nyawa yang berharga dapat diselamatkan melalui cara ini. Jika kaedah ini berjaya, saya berharap ia dapat diperkenalkan di kawasan yang dikenal pasti mencatat angka kemalangan tertinggi,” katanya. Antara kawasan yang mencatatkan kadar kemalangan tinggi ialah di Klang dan Kuala Lumpur. Seramai 1.2 juta orang terbunuh akibat kemalangan jalan raya setiap tahun di seluruh dunia dan jumlah itu dijangka meningkat kepada 65 peratus dalam tempoh 20 tahun akan datang jika tiada usaha dilakukan bagi meminimumkan angka korban itu. Statistik di Malaysia pula menunjukkan lebih 6,200 orang terbunuh di jalan raya setiap tahun dan setiap hari tiga penunggang motosikal mengalami kecederaan dengan satu daripadanya terbunuh, manakala ada yang menderita akibat kecederaan dialami. Kerjasama antara Persatuan St John Ambulans Malaysia dengan Kelab Rotary Pudu terus mantap apabila berjaya mewujudkan empat rangkaian Pusat Haemodialisis bernilai RM2 juta di empat kawasan terpilih antaranya Klang dan Shah Alam selain beroperasi di 13 Pusat Dialisis seluruh Selangor.

Handing Over Ceremony of • 2 scooters as First Responder by Rotary Club of Pudu • 30 tyres for ambulances by Goodyear Marketing Sdn Bhd • RM10,000 donation by Inner Wheels Kuala Lumpur In line with our motto “For the Service of Mankind”, we, are always ready to serve the needy. Hence, we always look for better improvement in the quality of our service to the public. We are grateful that our regular donors never put a stop supporting us on the effort that we have given to the public. Rotary Club of Pudu has a long partner-in-service relationship with St. John Ambulance, Kawasan Pantai Selangor. The first project was The Dialysis Centre in Klang, where Rotary Club of Pudu raised RM270K for 6 dialysis machines for the centre. The second one was much more ambitious where RM800K was raised to equip the centre in Rawang. The third centre was in Raub where 10 dialysis machines worth RM450K were put in. The forth centre was in Shah Alam where RM500K worth of machines were put into service. All 4 centres are utilized and running well. You are now invited to the launching of our fifth project with St. John Ambulance, Kawasan Pantai Selangor “First Responder in Emergency”. This is to test the effectiveness of the first responder concept. Where fast and immediate response is critical and in view of the constant traffic congestion, we feel the motorcycle is most appropriate. The 2 motorcycles are fully equipped with the necessary life saving tools for fast and effective application handled by St John’s trained staff worth RM33,000. If proven effective, this may be introduced to other densely populated cities with heavy traffic problems. We believe that with such service, we can respond to the emergency cases competently and efficiently. Again, we would like to thank Rotary Club of Pudu for their enormous contribution. Goodyear Marketing Sdn Bhd is continuing their great work by donating 30 tyres for our ambulances. We, as a NGO, always to need to raise sufficient fund to sustain our daily operation, especially the high ambulance maintenance cost that we have to cover for all these years. We are thankful that their contribution makes us able to facilitate the ambulances maintenance cost efficiency. And, we really appreciate that the Inner Wheels Kuala Lumpur has pledged RM10,000 cash to our organization. We hope to help the needy with the fund donated. We are glad that YB Datin Paduka Senator Chew Mei Fun is invited as our Guest of Honour to witness our handing over ceremony on this day. We thank her for great support towards our effort to accomplish our mission to contribute for the society.

Thank You to all our kind and generous donors and not forgetting to mention, Thank You PP Albert Lim for getting the Members of the Press and Media to cover this significant and meaningful event. My Fellow Rotarians, this month of August we have an eventful month. Last Monday, 17th August 2009, more than 190 people attended the Book Launch - The Footprint of a Judge through Mother Earth and it was successfully concluded. A sum of RM100,000.00 has been raised and another RM20,000.00 in the form of books. A total of 19 Rotarians and Rotary Anns were there at St. John Ambulans Malaysia Kawasan Pantai Selangor, HQ and after the function, as usual, Pudu Rotary’s Style, fellowship continued. We were all been treated with a sumptuous Bak Kut Teh at Butik Tinggi, Klang by PP Choo Jee Sam. THE FOUR- WAY TEST Of The Things We Think, Say, or Do. 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? *********** Conceived by Herbert J. Taylor, a Chicago Rotarian in July 1932 In January 1943, Rotary International Board Of Directors agreed that ‘The 4-Way Test’ should be part of Vocational Service Ideal.
