BACKTOBASICS TOGETHER WE SERVE

Dear Fellow Lions,

It seems only yesterday when I decided to commit myself and serve as your District Governor more than 3 years ago.

I have survived the 1st Quarter of my term in office and it was indeed a treacherous journey.

It started the moment I touched down at Changi Airport returning from the International Convention in Honolulu when I was told that District membership dropped significantly within the 1st week of July. This was even before the Joint Installation of Club Presidents and Cabinet Officers on 10 July when International President Dr. Yamada will be present.

The fiasco of unregistered Clubs with ROS since the Penang MD Convention in April continued its toil and together with the issue of phantom members were brought up to the attention of International President at the Dialogue Session when he was in Singapore.

During the 1st Cabinet Meeting, an emotional moment overwhelmed me and this was sadly broadcast by Wiki Lions in a demeaning manner.

I take comfort that my theme “Back To Basics” is truly appropriate as some Lions have strayed away from the true spirit of the movement.

Though discouraged somewhat from the lack of support by certain quarters, I am determined to continue with my mission and vision for the District.

I have confidence in Lionism and believe that my sincerity, honesty and integrity will lead me to complete my course as your faithful and humble servant.

Message by District Governor

亲爱的狮友,

我决定奉献于狮子会而出来竞选区总监已经是三年前的事了,不过感觉上仿佛是昨天的事。

虽然我任职的第一季是相当艰辛的,但我顺利的通过了。

当我从夏威夷檀香山参加国际狮子年会后,回到新加坡时,在樟宜机场一出境便得知我们区内会员人数在七月的第一个星期就有显著的下降。那是在我们举办7月10日的会长和内阁长官就职典礼之前的事了,而且大会贵宾是国际狮子会总会长山田医生。

从今年四月槟城复合区年会就开始的争议性问题,包括没有向新加坡社团注册局注册的分会和假会员等,都在国际总会长接见新加坡狮友的对话中报告给总会长知道了。

在第一个内阁会议时,我因为一时情绪悲痛而控制不住,却被 Facebook 一个叫维基狮子的人以贬低的形式向外界广播。

令 我 感 到 安 慰 的 , 是 我 任 职 总 监 期 间 的 主 题 “ 回 归 基本”用在这个时候是相当贴切的,因为有些狮友已经开始偏离了我们作为狮子的真正含义。

虽然有些狮友并不支持我而使我有点泄气,但我决定继续我的使命和对我们区的愿景。

我对狮子运动有信心,并相信我的诚意、坦诚和廉正将能带领我完成我的历程,成为你们的忠实和谦逊的仆人。

我们一起服务!
