The District Governor's Cabinet Officers(Fiscal Year 1997-1998)

The formation of the cabinet line-up was very important as Lionism was all about teamwork.  Past President Kenny Koay and Past President Tan Team Chye were invited to be the Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Treasurer respectively. The other cabinet members were all past presidents from various active clubs.

My Cabinet comprised of 9 Region Chairmen, 21 Zone Chairmen, 48 District Chairmen, and 14 Region Committee Chairmen. All of them were officially invited with blessings and consent from their Home Clubs.

Past District Governor (PDG) Dr. Chin Yoon Hiap was appointed to serve in the District's Lions Eyes Bank which was an essential mainstay in Lionism. PDG S. T. Yeoh was appointed as the Honorary District Committee Chairman. Together, the wonderful team would administer the district which comprised the whole Peninsula Malaysia except the southern part of Johore which was part of 308A.

1ST CABINET MEETING - 20/7/1997 (8AM-5PM)

The Cabinet Meeting was held at the Crystal Ballroom, Bayview Beach Resort Hotel, Penang. We had two breaks for morning tea and afternoon lunch. 

We had a fruitful meeting and by the end of the day, the officers were all equipped with instructions to carry out their responsibilities. They would take initiative to meet the clubs in their respective regions and zones to deliver messages under their portfolios. The Lions would never fall short of speakers at their club meetings. 

MEETING OF PAST OFFICERS OF THE LIONS ASSOCIATION (CAUCUS MEETING)

There was a belief that the best time to brainstorm one's mind was to do it during the wee hours of the morning. With this in mind and with the consultation of  Council Chairman Shiv Benerjee, a  POAs Meeting was called at 11.30pm. where all POAs attended. The agenda included bifurcation and follow-ups.
