RAC Port Klang Centennial 5th Installation (Theme: Tribute To King of Pop) & Fundraising Dinner

One of the 'Tiger Show' performers






















August 15th 2009 marks another important chapter for members of Rotaract Club Port Klang Centennial. It is our 5th club installation.

Yes, we are FIVE years old. Indeed, I have seen changes in the club's growth as a chartered member. The changes were like waves. I had seen the peaks to the troughs.

Also, the event is also to install our club's 5th president, Nanthini Kumar (pic right above), my fellow comrade, a chartered member like myself. Also, the 2nd lady or woman President after me.

Uniquely, our club's installation theme nite was Coats & Jackets as Tribute to the late Michael Jackson, King of Pop.

All members participated in full force smart attire at Govinds Restaurant, Klang. The crowd began making their grand entrance at 8pm. This marks the gathering of our old friends and also new friends fellowship.

Dinner menu was the restaurant's authentic mouth watering Indian breads, curries, rice and spices.
The installation of new board was done by IPP Jia Thiam (I believe breathing sigh of relief) to new President Nanthini. Also IPP Jia Thiam who gave three awards to club members including the Best Rotaractor of the Term Award to Lee Leong King and Chew Way Wen who is the Best Recruiter Award.


And what was so startling this year for the fund raising event for Rotary Foundation was our own club's "Tiger Show" performed by our two club's aspiring stars, G&G (Gary & Gun).

Also, the club members sang the inspiring 'Heal The World' by MJ with fellow Rotarians & friends.

All in all, the clubs successfully fulfilled the fundraising amount of Rm2056 with wine/liquer dutch auction. All for good cause.

A big thank you to our members and OC Richie Lee & installation team, to our supportive President Patrick& Rotarians and Rotaract friends from district who contributed generously for the event.

Message from New President


Dear friends,

Welcome to the new Rotaract term 2009/2010!

We will have our very first meeting tomorrow Thursday (02/07/2009) at 8.00pm. Venue is at Red Island Café, Bkt Tinggi. (Across the road from Pelita Nasi Kandar)

I hope all dear Rotaractors and respective Rotarians can be present. Guests are welcome too. There won’t be any guest speaker for the evening, thus

I want to discuss on 3 things;

1) I would like to have a brief proposal from my Director’s on your future projects.
2) Updates from the Installation Night’s Organizing Committee.
3) Since there are some discontents on the theme proposed (Occupational) for the Installation Night, I would like to finalize it on this meeting itself.

So, I need everyone’s help to think of a better theme. Please revert on your attendance.

For the SAA (Sergeant at Arms) part, I would want to do it in an alphabetic manner. This means, we shall start with our Rtr.Chew Way Wen followed by Rtr.Gun Chin Yong on the next meeting and so on.

We are also going to have a new member inducted into our family of Rac Port Klang Centennial on the same day. It’s non other than Elizabeth!

I’m hoping for an awesome term with all of you. Here’s a saying for you’ll, “Friends are like puzzle pieces.

If one goes away, that special piece can never be replaced and that puzzle will never be whole again”. Same goes to us, I can’t afford to loose any one of you.

I sincerely need all of you to assist me throughout the way.

Thanks & Regards,

Nanthini Selvakumaran

Dear fellow members,

My term as a President is almost ending. Is been a long journey ever since I took up the post till today, but it was a wonderful one. Throughout the journey, I have learned many new things and have made many new friends. Though my journey as a President can be at times rough, but it has made me into a stronger person. I believe with this phrase that "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger".


I would want to take this opportunity to thank all my members who have been there to support me and poured in your sweat and effort during my term. It is definitely a wonderful one and I do hope your continuous effort will bring the club to the next level.


I am looking forward to present my personal awards and certificate of appreciation for the "Best Rotaractor", "Best Project" and "Best Recruiter" Awards to my fellow members during Nanthini's Installation which will be held on the 15th of August, 2009.


Our club has grown so much ever since our Charter President Toh has first chartered the club. I believe our club will one day shine amongst other clubs.

Best Regards,
Tan Jia Thiam

Rac Port Klang in District Awards Nite





















The District Awards Night (DAN) which was held at the Corus Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on June 6 2009.

The theme was "Passion in Red" and we all came with our best red costume to attend this event.

Guests of Honour were District Governor Dr Rajinder and Ann PP Surendra
Our club have submitted three projects to compete for the awards. They are the "Best Rotaract Awareness", "Best Fellowship" and "Best Professional Development" reports.

After 11 months of hard work from the members, we managed to win the “Best Rotaract Awareness” report in which we publicize the Rotaract movement through the Child Mortality Awareness Campaign at Klang Parade Shopping Complex on December 13th 2008.

Kudos to all the members of Rotaract Club of Port Klang Centennial who have worked hard & contributed to this award.

Also, lets congratulate Rtr Gun Chin Yong for being in the district board member assisting incoming DRR Amanda as District PR, Marketing & Membership Chairman.

Rotary and Rotaract Anniversary at Klang Executive Club Dinner


Dear members,

I have just returned from the Rotary and Rotaract Anniversary at Klang Executive Club (KEC). We have just celebrated our 4th Anniversary and I must say, time flies.

During the event, we conducted a Rotary and Rotaract Idol in which we had 3 rotarians and 3 rotaractors singing their lung out. Rotary Idol goes to Rtn Adrew Goh and Rotaract Idol goes to our guest called Sook Huan. Gary took part in singing for our club. Kudos to you.

I must say, I enjoyed this year's compared to last year. The food is better, the programme is exciting and last but not least, the crowd is even crazier. Pictures attached for members who have missed it.
