Input From President Chew Song Kong - RC Port Klang

At times if some of us open our mouth, we get shot down, as I have seen at some Rotary Assembly. It became a more like a political forum, or Parliament sitting, where the majority will out shout the minority. Or if it's not that sweet to some ears, it will fell on deaf ears. End of the day, majority still wins. The true picture is that senior Rotarian's does not want to change to suit others, it's the life style that have been embed ed in them. Ask your self, how many old people you know can change their way of life? Rotarian's are human too!

We talk about change or retention of Rotarian's, will it works if the whole district minds are already set not to change? The only way out for some Rotarian's is to get out or joint other organizations like Lions and Kiwanis, which where the younger generation goes.
So before we get to change others, look around ourself, can we change the Rotarians mind set around us? If can, good news, we move to step 2, change others!

This is strictly my thought, pls allow me to express what is in my mind, for it is a shame to see what was a fine and big organization like Rotary going down. Change before it's too late.

" When we make changes, we are saving ourselves, when we can influence others, we are saving others"

Thank you.
