Going through the first part of the Governor's training at Kuala Lumpur was a most mind-stimulating experience. Receiving information of the latest in RI, sharing new ideas and queries with fellow Governor Elects from Zone 4 B and 6 B, and most of all, in the process of learning, I managed to formulate some improvements and actions to be taken in due course.

It gets closer to the end of the year now. It also means closer attention goes to vigorous planning on training new leaders in the district and in the clubs. From July 2002, it becomes mandatory for all in-coming Assistant Governors, District Officers and District Committee Chairmen to go through at least a one-day long training seminar, the District Leadership Plan. This, I believe, is welcome by all conscientious and motivated leaders with the wish to do a better job equipped with the training. Rotarians besides having the hearts to serve others, do uphold the quality in the ways we do things, and strive to improve the means to run the Clubs and the District.

The Vocational Service Seminar was held at the club meeting of RC of Peninsula. I was pleasantly surprised by PDG Arthur Au, Chairman of the District Vocational Service's invitation to share my views of my plans in this area. Within a few minutes, ideas that have been swimming in my mind for some time got the opportunity to succinctly flow out to over 120 Rotarians of my plans on motivating and taking actions on clubs and district levels as well as bringing Rotary ideals into each of the Rotarians professions
and business.

I was invited to join in the re-union of the IPPs of 2000-2001 at the Royal Yacht Club for cocktails and dinner. It was so nice to see hard-working presidents come to some rest and looking relaxed. Their sheer presence showed their care and concern of the District and fellow classmates and thus imply their uncontaminated wish andenergy to continue serving in the District. I am planning closely to channel this wealth of talents onto the District level.

Governor Elect,
