LION AT PRISON III - It is more than a prison!

ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN 
Time: 8.30am - 12.30pm
Date: 4th November 2012
Venue: Sungai Buloh Prison

Quite many of us do not like to have any kind of links with prison, perhaps it is due to the fact that many of us are still reluctant to forgive what the inmates have done before they are being sent here.

The prison authority is working hard on the PR work for the prison. The PR work may help to change the mindset of the public against the prison and the inmates as well. 

With that in mind, the Lions Club of Sungai Buloh has supported the project with action. We have sponsored helmets for the Road Safety Campaign that organized by the Sungai Buloh Prison on 4th November 2012, Sunday. The programmer was assisted by the Road Transportation Department and involving students from four secondary schools around the area.

There were exhibition booths, pictures of horrible road accident scene, road safety briefing, drama presented by the inmates and so on that aimed to create awareness about road safety among the young road-users.

We shall support the community projects by the prison authority; it could add point to their PR effort. Prison is an institution that being entrusted by the government to re-educate the people who have once missed the direction of lives and committed some serious mistakes. However, it is not end of the world, they are given chance to ‘take 2’ or come again in their lives. 

Negative mindset against the prisons and the ex-convicts would do no better to our society, but push them closer to the negative forces which would lead them back to the prisons; in other words, higher crime rate.

Our little effort to support the event is aimed to get more NGOs to work hand in hand with the prisons with an aim – one day, the public would accept the fact that prison is just another kind of School.

With Passion, We Serve.

LION-LEO Badminton Tournament

Lion-Leo Badminton Tournament
PCC Patrick Chew Cup
Date: 9th September 2012
Time: 9.00am-1.00pm
Venue : Energetic Sports Center

On the 9th September 2012 the inaugural PCC Patrick Chew Cup was contested at Energetic Sports Center in Seri Kembangen. This was a joint project between the Lion Clubs of Sungai Buloh, Damansara Metro, and Sunway. It was a badminton tournament open to all Lions and Leos to instill fellowship and connectivity amongst those participating through the love of the sport.

Despite the intention of the organizers for a gentle social gathering amongst Lions and Leos, once on court the competitive nature of those taking part came to the fore. The competition was fierce but friendly especially as there were 4 trophies on offer (Men &  Women's trophies in both the singles and doubles), however, I suspect amongst the Lions the bragging rights for the next couple of months amongst the members were more important.

A great time was had by all and by general consensus the tournament was a great success. Everyone was already looking forward to next year's PCC Patrick Chew Cup! The organizing clubs should pat themselves on the back for bringing together good fellowship where healthy competition and banter was enjoyed by everyone. Lets hope next year's cup will be bigger and better, but as a start this was a fantastic way to launch the tournament. Lets hope from small acorns come mighty oaks! See you next year!

Lions Club Of Sungai Buloh 
5th Charity Golf Tournament
Date : 25th Oct 2012 
Time : 12.30pm
Venue : Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah


On the 25th October 2012the Lions Club of Sungai Buloh held its 5th Charity Golf Tournament at Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah.

The golfing gods were smiling on those participating, the weather was beautiful, blue skies, sunny weather. However, little did we realize in less than 4 hours the rain would come and bring a halt to proceedings.

The massive downpour accompanied with thunder and lightning meant the tournament had to be abandoned. The result was to be decided by lucky draw. This ensured almost full attendance at the dinner buffet and prize giving as even the worse golfer on the day had a chance to become our champion!

Despite the poor weather everyone taking part appeared to have a good time and pleased to all receive a generous goodie bag as well as everyone receiving a gift in the lucky draw.

Our thanks to the generous sponsors and players in making the 5th tournament such a success. We managed to donate RM7000 to Praise Emmanuel Children's Home, and RM5000 each to Hospice Malaysia and Kasih Hospis Care Society.
