Whilst we look back with profound memories and pride of our achievements in our field of service to humanity over these 41 years, we can't help but feel a tinge of sadness of the records that were lost. In order to ensure that future records are not lost, the Club initiated a number of procedures. They are the binding of the Berita Pudu (Club Bulletin) after each year, a generous section in the Club’s Installation Souvenir Magazine for the President to make a detailed report of each year’s activities (with photographs), the storage of the archives in a fixed venue and the production of our Club Handbook. All these are to ensure that our records are kept. These records of past activities and achievements are not only useful as a historical record but also to keep us reminded of our rich traditions and the dedicated services of our predecessors. The idea of producing our Club Handbook was started as early as 1973 through the efforts of our Rotarians namely PP Soong Siew Hoong (now Tan Sri, Dato’), PP V G Chandran and Rotarian Victor Jesudoss. The first edition was thus printed in 1973. In 1983, whilst I was President Elect, I was entrusted to update the Club Handbook. Five years later ie in 1989 I was given the honour again to produce the fourth edition. In 1996, we printed our fifth edition. In 2002, we produced sixth edition. This year, 2007, we are producing the seventh edition. A Club Handbook to me is a very important document of the Club. It not only provides a historical record of our Club's activities, but also a handy source of Rotary Information in brief. In this edition, we have retained and updated most of the topics and has added a few others. The production of this seventh edition could not be possible without the keen and ready support of our President Ken Ong and members of the Board of Directors. A special thanks to Rotarian Patrick Lee for undertaking the printing of the handbook. I hope all of you will find the information both informative and useful. Editor 3 March, 2007 5 PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD My Dear Fellow Rotarians, This Club Hand Book is indeed a Jewel. It is most timely to have this 7th Edition published as many changes have taken place since the publication of the last edition 5 years ago. This Club Hand Book is indeed the envy of many as it contains vital historical and current information about our beloved Club, District 3300 and Rotary International. It is a vital and quick source of reference for all things Pudu and it contains the essential core of Rotary information. It is best used to complement Rotary’s Manual of Procedure. Undoubtedly, the production of this latest Club Hand Book took great efforts and time. Many hours have been put in to compile and up-date the materials for the benefit of all members. In this regard, I must thank PDG Dr. Paul CK Lee for taking the lead and for his ever readiness to share his vast Rotary knowledge with us. Our sincere appreciation also goes to all those who have contributed to the successful publication of this Club Hand Book. May all of us make the best use of this invaluable gift. “Involved We Are, Committed We Must Be” “Lead The Way” Yours in Rotary Service Ken Ong President Rotary Year 2006-2007 6 CHARTER CERTIFICATE 7 A WORD FROM OUR CHARTER PRESIDENT I have been asked to write a few words about the formation of our Club. The manner in which new Rotary Clubs are formed is fully set out in the President's "Manual of Procedures" which can be made available to any interested Rotarian. Briefly, an established Rotary Club at some time in its existence feels it is getting too big, or its members realise that the original boundaries allotted to their club covers too large an area, or the members feel they would like to share their Rotary experience with others and so they decide, with Rotary International's approval to give up part of their territory to a new club. This is what happened when the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur gave up its Petaling Jaya territory to form the Rotary Club of Petaling Jaya. You will remember that the satellite town of Petaling Jaya did not exist as such, some fifteen years ago. Likewise Pudu, which was formerly a part of the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur's territory, was allocated to us in 1966. In was my good fortune to be chosen, for the task of forming the Club, by the District Governor Special Representative, Past President Sivapragasam (Siva). The first step was to sit down and compile a classification list of the various firms with offices and workshops in the territory allocated to Pudu. The next step was to go and personally call on those who were filling the classifications and to try to persuade them to help me form a club. This would not have been possible without the splendid assistance given to me by Past Presidents Siva, Arunasalam, Dr Hui Weng Choon, Soong Siew Hoong, Fong Ying Leong, Alex Lee, President Tharmalingam, Rotarians Kong Seong Soo and Hassan Moosdeen, all of whom gave their enthusiastic support to the idea of having our own Club.
