2020 has been a time of crisis and isolation.
It is the pervasiveness of the Internet that has        Past Offices held in Inner Wheel
kept us abreast of happenings, moment by
moment, in hearing the calls for help from              Club President 2013/14
every corner of the world and the heartfelt             Club Secretary 2008/09
relief given by Inner Wheel members.                    Club Correspondent 2007/08, 2016/17

Let us make more concerted applications of the
Internet that Inner Wheel Clubs and International
Inner Wheel has already built and take the next
steps at international level.

•	In membership development, let us organise
   webinars to broaden knowledge and share
   experiences.

•	In community service, let’s have a forum
   of ideas and elevate it to global action.

•	Let us find common areas and gather global
   feedback for issues close to our heart so as
   to facilitate planning and strategy.

For over 30 years, I have managed my own printing
and publishing company. Although in semi-
retirement, I still take pleasure in designing and
editing of books and journals, web programming
and scripting, and video production. Some of
my personal works were in jointly authoring an
English-Malay computer dictionary and a few years
of Chemistry Cambridge A-level 10-year series,
published by Fajar Bakti (now, Oxford Fajar of
Oxford University Press).

I am currently the web programmer for the websites
of Districts 330 and 331. As I humbly offer my
service, I wish for the opportunity to gather skilled
members who would be willing to help. I see it
as a necessary venture as this will augur well in
establishing the future of Inner Wheel world wide.

Inner Wheel entered my life in 1989; and since
then, it is my passion. IW has evolved and              Past Offices held in Inner Wheel
I have too. To move with the times, adapt for
betterment of the organisation and society,             Club President: 1993/94
a key development has been learning the use             Club Vice President: 1992/93
and impact of electronic media, upgrading my            Club Secretary: 1991/92
designing, editing and writing skills.                  Club ISO: 2008/09
Today the old adage ‘pen is mightier than the           Club Correspondent: 1990/91
sword’ has a wider context. Communication of            District Chairman: 2000/01
information has changed monumentally, to include        District Vice Chairman: 1999/2000
e-publications, websites, Social media, TV. By using    District Secretary: 1991/92
these powerful popular methods we can spread
                                                        District Treasurer: 1998/99
the Principles Purpose and Projects of IW globally.

When Information is power, we cannot harness            District Editor: 2004/05, 2005/06
this power without distributing. ‘A picture is worth    National Association President/Chairman:
a thousand words’ believing in this, I have polished    2016/17
my video editing and graphic techniques. Images         National Association Vice President/
motivate others to replicate / participate in similar   Vice Chairman: 2015/16
work worldwide. The outside world too gets the
                                                        National Association Council Member:
opportunity to gauge our capabilities, support          2001/02
our cause.

Members are enthused, encouraged to extend              National Representative
                                                        2018/19
their boundaries of assistance by effective
motivation. As NR, I initiated a 6000kms Mission
on Wheels, before International Women’s Day to
promote IW. A Short Film IW in India was made for
comprehensive imaging. Print and E Newsletters
featured projects and events with data and
pictures. Digital literacy and technology helped
brand IW India nationally. Facebook was used
extensively by clubs even as Newspapers and
TV were effective locally.

By using our intelligence and talents, each one
of us can be the best ambassador of Inner Wheel.
