NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION SESSION 25/10/2026

EVENT REPORT

LCGTM successfully conducted its New Member Orientation Session at Sho Hotel on 25 October 2026, with the participation of 2 potential members and 10 active members.

The presence of the 10 active members was particularly important to the success of the session. Their participation provided the potential members with an opportunity to interact directly with existing members, learn about the Club through personal experiences, and gain a better understanding of the Club’s values, activities, fellowship and expectations of membership.

I sincerely thank all 10 active members for making the effort to attend, participate in the discussions, and share their experiences. Their presence helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere and demonstrated the Club’s strong spirit of fellowship and support for prospective members.

My special appreciation also goes to the speakers, PP May Cheah, PP Mark Labrooy, and PP Dr. Hing Lee Hong, who generously shared their time, knowledge, and experience. Their presentations and insights added significant value to the Orientation and gave the potential members a meaningful introduction to the Club.

Restoring Sight, Restoring Hope

Mdm Nagakani, 70, lost her source of income when Eastern Garment factory closed. She now lives in a low-cost flat with her brother, who works as a part-time gardener.
Suffering from cataracts, her vision was deteriorating badly. Due to her age and difficult financial circumstances, she appealed to the Lions Club of George Town Mutiara for medical assistance.
A team of Lions reviewed her case and conducted a home visit to better understand her situation. The club worked together with Pantai Hospital, approved her surgery.
We are happy to share that her cataract operation was carried out successfully!
Seeing Mdm Nagakani smile again was priceless. She was overjoyed and deeply grateful to the Lions and to Pantai Hospital for making her wish come true.

Penang Cheshire Home - Foster Parents Day 12/9/2026 (OC: PP Tyson Yeap)

Lions of LCGTM were invited to attend the Penang Cheshire Home Foster Parent Day project. Every year, without fail, we are grateful for the opportunity to adopt one of the home’s residents and support their care and well-being.

This year, we adopted YOGARAJ A/L SANGARAN (36yo), who lives with cerebral palsy. During our visit to the home, PCC Allan Cheah, PP Lily Teoh, PP Mark, and PP Leong spent time speaking with him and were delighted to engage with him through his responses and expressions. Yogaraj had also taken part in a performance earlier during the event, demonstrating his enthusiasm and abilities.

Yogaraj told us that he enjoys watching movies, playing games, and gardening—simple pleasures that bring him great happiness. We were pleased to learn more about his interests and spend meaningful time with him.

Yang Amat Berbahagia Toh Puan attended the ceremony, and the programme proceeded according to the appropriate protocol. The residents performed a short dance before presenting the sponsorship cheque. 

The Home's invitation has allowed us to adopt and support a resident through a contribution of just RM1 a day. Small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. Once again, LCGTM has served the community with compassion, commitment, and care.

 

The formation of LCI District 308 B5 and the District Governor Inauguration were marked by a series of memorable events. One of the highlights was the District and Clubs Twinning Ceremony between our District 308 B5, District 307 A2 Indonesia, and District 310B Thailand. Adding to the significance of the occasion, the district chairperson in charge from District 307A2 was our own sister club, Lions Club of Medan Raya. We played host to their members during their stay in Penang under the leadership of CP Danny Lim. We were honoured to extend a warm Malaysian hospitality to a delegation of  15 Lions from Medan Raya. Before bidding them farewell at the airport, we enjoyed fellowship over breakfast together.
