 Hello everyone. First and foremost, wishing everyone a very
good day ahead.

i am grateful for the opportunity given to me to serve one of

President's the most vibrant club of Rotary District 3300 as the President.
I’m truly grateful as the cooperation given to me by all my
club members are simply fantabulous and great. I need to tell
message this from the bottom of my heart that each one of you have
inspired me by your tireless effort to live up to our motto of
"service above self".

We had a very fruitful first quadrant, where we have carried

out a few projects. The pandemic affected the socio-
economic sector and many lost their jobs. RCBSP gave a hand
to many families by providing groceries. The covid not only
affected the adults, but it was a heavy blow on the
conventional education system. With the help of school
authorities, RCBSP handpicked academically good but
financially poor students and provided them with laptops.
The community is going through a tough time. To add on to
the pandemic havoc, flood hit many places in Malaysia.
RCBSP reached out to their immediate community and lend
a hand by providing groceries and other essential items. All of
these projects materialized because of the dedication each
one of our members put in even in the face of pandemic. Let
us strengthen our team by following what our District
Governor Dato Bindi envisioned, "each one bring one".

While aligning with the noble cause of contributing to the

community, let us not forget to take care of ourselves and our
dearest family’s health, as the Covid-19 virus is still out there,
drastically affecting our lives and daily activities. Being
vaccinated is an advantage; however, it will not deter us from
being infected with the virus should we fail to adhere to the
SOP and the safety measurements.

I am also excited about how our Rotaractors under the

leadership of President Chong Sin Yee and her BOD is coming
Rtn. Gopaldhass Chitaya up with a lot of interesting and innovating ideas and projects.
I wish RAC all the best in their endeavours.
Automobile Sales
+6012 401 1044 One of my goal as the President of RCBSP was the start of a
gopaldhass@yahoo.com newsletter to show case all the activities and creativities of
RCBSP, RAC and also friends of Rotary. We are starting off as a
quarterly newsletter and I wish all the best to the editor, Rtn.
Remya and her team.

As I am stepping to the second quadrant of my Presidency, I

am sure we will do greater service because my leadership is
fueled by the brilliant and beautiful minds of my board of
directors and the rendering support of each and every one of
the RCBSP family.
Let’s work towards the betterment of our community..
Let's do it…
Thank you.

 Rotary
International

Rotary International with 1.2 million members, in clubs all over the
world, is committed to follow the "DEI" policy. The question is as a
Rotarian are you following and propagating the ideas of DEI?

At Rotary, we understand that cultivating a diverse, equitable, and

inclusive culture is essential to realizing our vision of a world where
people unite and take action to create lasting change. We value
diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all
backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, color, disability, learning
style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status,
languages spoken, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity as
well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs.
Recognizing that individuals from certain groups have historically
experienced barriers to membership, participation, and leadership,
we commit to advancing equity in all aspects of Rotary, including in
our community partnerships, so that each person has the necessary
access to resources, opportunities, networks, and support to thrive.
We believe that all people hold visible and invisible qualities that
inherently make them unique, and we strive to create an inclusive
culture where each person knows they are valued and belong. In line
with our value of integrity, we are committed to being honest and
transparent about where we are in our DEI journey as an
organization, and to continuing to learn and do better.

Memory ROTARY....
Lane Adventure in
SERVICE....
When I was being welcomed officially
into my Rotary Club way back in 1977,
the President, Major Devan Pillai,
made two points which still lingers in
my mind.
First, that my fellow Rotarians had
chosen me, not in the sense of
exclusiveness but because they
believed that I was the person to
represent my business in Rotary;
and second, that I was beginning a
new adventure in Service-an
adventure in the strict definition of
the word: 'a bold undertaking in
which certain hazards and unforeseen
developments were to be met'.
Yes, it is an adventure. The experience

and testimonies of thousands of
CP Dato’ Dr. Subramaniam Rotarians say it is or can be.
Sundram If a new Rotarian has been properly
Medicine - Retired orientated and if his club is alive to its
+6013 456 7663 obligations and opportunities, his
membership is an adventure.
Service above Self is our prime goal,
but new dimensions will be revealed
as our fellowship deepens within the
community and broadens around the
world.
Such an adventure, as all adventures,
poses certain hazards. But they come
as a challenge to us as Rotarians.

Thank you.

Memory My rotary journey:

Lane a blend of passions
Despite growing up in a Rotary family,
with immediate and extended family
members having been Rotarians, with
one of them going on to be District
Governor at the age of 37, I still did
not know rotary quite well. For our
membership drive, this is now
cardinal, to explain ‘Rotary’ to our
near and dear ones. If we do not
educate our near and dear about
rotary, who else will?

Prior to my move to Malaysia in early

2005, a Rotarian family member in
India advised me to contact one of his
(Rotarian) close friend upon arrival. I,
however, did not contact the person.

My induction to the Rotary happened

PP Prof. Dr. P.K. Rajesh much later in life. It was in January
Medicine - Education 2012, when I became a member of the
+6016 495 9372 vibrant Rotary Club of Bandar Sungai
Petani. That was the year the
University students had launched a
CSR club. As founding advisor of the
club, I needed ideas, information, best
practices etc. to learn and implement.
Rotary provided all that and more.
The Rotary Foundation receives
highest rating from Charity Navigator
every year and it was an honour to
learn the best practices from the best.

 Memory Lane
My rotary journey: a blend of passions
Until I attended a Rotary workshop on pre-assessment of wheelchair beneficiaries, I
used to be part of teams that handed over wheelchairs like candies.

The workshop gave the rookie service projects chair insights on:
1.Assessing if the person genuinely deserves a wheelchair
2.If they would benefit or be harmed by using a wheelchair
3.Providing customized wheelchair to the beneficiaries.

"The realisation
Matching grants, district grants, global grants were
Greek and Latin, until we applied for it hands on.
The awareness of the availability of resources for
signature sustainable projects was so refreshing.
The partnerships with private and Government
that Rotary can
sectors, banks and hospitals, enabled a project to
provide 100 cataract surgeries for the offer alot more,
came later"
underprivileged. Application for grants and service
are essential traits for an academic and these
opportunities were God send.

After the initial euphoria of being empowered to serve the community, there came a
thought. I can do all the above even if I am not associated with any NGO. The
realisation that rotary can offer a lot more, came later. The 2012 Rotary Youth
Leadership Awards (RYLA) gave a new meaning to the incoming Youth Service chair.
The 2013 and 2014 district RYLA was organized and conducted at the University. This
helped our students to organize a mega event, tapping on their team work,
leadership and networking skills. The awareness and the global reach of the events
lead to me being invited as an inspirational coach for the International RYLA at
Sydney. I should say this remains my best Rotary moment yet. A glorious week
engaging with diverse youth from all over the world. The experience helped an aging
me understand the new gens pulse a lot better than before. 2014 and the RYLA
helped bestow on me the “Best Rotarian Award”, “Avenues of service citation award”
and the “Outstanding project award”-Youth services-District RYLA 2014.

The Rotary journey gave some experiences like donating prosthetic limbs to war
veterans in Sri Lanka, and providing medical laboratory facilities for an old folk’s home
in India. The Sayangi Mata Vision clinic was a district event, which saw our district
distribute 3344 spectacles in a single event, entering the Malaysian Book of records.
The event was hosted at the University, with our students involved in the planning,
budgeting, logistics, screening (acuity of vision) service and execution. The university
Rotaract club was activated and the University CSR efforts were enhanced. This
completed a big cycle with me now becoming the founding advisor of the Rotaract
club.. ...continue to next page

 Memory Lane
My rotary journey: a blend of passions
Vocational training to reskill the workforce is another Rotary programme. A joint
project between the Rotary districts of 3300 Malaysia and Nagoya, Japan, allowed
me to lead a team of doctors, nurses and Rotarians to visit Nagoya to update on
the best practices of infectious disease prevention and treatment in February 2018.
We hosted the Japanese team when they returned the visit in May 2018.
I am immensely passionate about infectious disease studies. Hence, the honour of
becoming Malaysia’s country coordinator for ‘World’s Greatest Meal’ to eradicate
polio was very meaningful. This provided networking with polio and infectious
disease experts from all over the world, while enhancing awareness to other fund
raising projects. The durian WGM, the electrolyte WGM, for instance, were a few of
the innovative fund raisers we carried out. National and international webinars,
Kahoot quizzes and many other events followed.

"It is upto each one

of us to seek our
calling to do more
The WGM helped raise small amounts
periodically and our club could easily achieve
its ambitious TRF goals every year. The shy TRF
chair* was greatly benefitted.
Polio, circulating vaccine strains, vaccination for
refugees, the adverse effects following mass
vaccination were all discussed in the GAVI,
vaccine safety summit at the
headquarters, Geneva in December 2019. The
exposure to the information and hands on
WHO

good in the World"

experience as country coordinator made it
possible to participate in this global summit.

The Rotary Education Fund and its activities taught me about intentional
mentoring. This new skill helped an aging educator to better engage with the new
generation. The Rotary action groups and the fellowships provide adequate
avenues for people in any vocation to take up and develop their interests. I joined
the HEWRAG, the action group against Hepatitis, which helped me greatly in my
academic pursuits. Meanwhile, joining the strategic planning fellowship group
served as continuous learning for my administrative career path.

At least, one of the seven focus areas of rotary would

appeal to anyone’s passion. It is upto each one of us
to seek our calling to do more good in the World. We
cannot pour from an empty cup, and rotary can help
us develop our own brand.
Well, I finally met the person who I was supposed to
contact in 2005. However, it dawned on me much
later that it was none other than PDG Dr Baskaran.

 Health & Lifestyle

STAY HAPPY
Well we all have those; the good day and the bad day. We need to have some
easy tips under our sleeve to make most of the days happy.

JUST SMILE
Smiling causes the brain to release dopamine, which makes us happier. Just try
it. Well not the smile of creepy clown from IT but a sweet one from your heart
can make other happy too. Did you know that smile is infectious?

GET PLENTY OF SLEEP

Yaa yaa all the OTTs are waiting for you with load of movies, but deep deep
inside you know that a good sleep can take care of our health, brain function,
and emotional well-being.

BE GRATEFUL
Why not keep a tab on our gratitude or keep a gratitude diary? Being grateful or
feeling gratitude can significantly impact on our feelings of hope and happiness.

GIVE COMPLIMENT
Giving a sincere compliment is a quick and easy way to brighten someone’s day,
which in turn can give your own happiness a boost. Catch the person’s eye and say
it with a smile so they know you mean it. And the surprise and smile on their face
can in turn make you feel happy.

BREATHE DEEPLY
When you are stressed or tensed involuntarily you take a long, deep breath to calm
yourself down. Your body’s that instinct is a good one coz I am sure you know that
deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress. Why not practice a simple one?
