The Leo Club of Penang (City)
Thirty-Five Years of Service to the Community
The
Leo Club of Penang (City) was founded and inaugurated in 1977, the first
non-institutional Leo Club to be formed in Malaysia. The initial club identity,
Leo Club of Penang was amended and revised as new Omega Leo clubs emerged.
Our
club is sponsored by Lions Club of Penang (Host), the first Lions Club to be
formed in the North Malaysia, after Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and we belong to
the Lions Club of International District of 308 B2, which encompasses the
countries of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Officially charted on the 6th
of August 1977, our club enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest
Omega Leo Clubs in the District.
We
were charted and formed at the Merlim Hotel Penang and our Charter President
was Leo Lee Teik Hock and the 1st Board of Directors were installed
by then the Lions Club President, Past Council Chairperson Jeffrey Quah.
Today,
we are privileged to have Lion Anthony Goh, Lion Simon Kheng, Lion Ng Chek
Siang, Lion Danny Lim, Lion Ong Lai Peng, Lion Low Choon Wah and others as our
Past Presidents and Past Members who have made their decisions to convert into
Lions and continue to serve the community.
With
emphasis on service and to train the youth of Penang in Leadership, Experience
and Opportunity, the Leo Club of Penang (City) has been indeed a very good
platform for today’s youth who are in search of fellowship and to develop and
improve their individual qualities and to render service the needy and to
experience leadership.
As
one of the leading clubs in District 308 B2, our club has produced many members
who have held high office in the Leo District 308 B2. In particular, we are
proud to have among our active members one Immediate Past Leo District
President, Leo Ch’ng Kok Sheng, one District Treasurer, Leo Vincent Khor &
two Leo Cabinet Officers, Leo Fiona Mary Lee & Leo Stanley Saw whom served
the District with distinction during their term of office.
The
charitable and other projects that our club has undertaken and completed are
too numerous to be enumerated here. The needs of the less fortunate and
underprivileged of our society are many, and the Leo Club of Penang (City) has
never been slow in responding to the request for assistance.
The Club has established close relation
