UM ISC & TTC (Part 3 - International Table Topics Contest 2009)

Now, the 3rd (final) report of the UM ISC & TTC 2009 – International Table Topics Contest 2009.

Our International Table Topics Chairperson was ACB CL Suresh Mohan (Division W Secretary and President of SaiMasters TMC). There were few questions that have been prepared by Mr. Suresh before the contest. Our Organizing Chairperson, TM Deborah Chow, had the privilege to pick a question randomly. I actually had forgotten the exact question, but the question goes something like this - ‘If a man is smoking in front of you in a non-smoking area, what would you do?’

We have altogether 6 contestants, and all of them were asked the same question. Well, you can see a lot of different answers but most of the participants said they would just avoid the smoker. Yes, it’s true if you don’t want to get into any trouble. The contestants were as the following:
1. Tham Hui Xin
2. Ras Hadi
3. Kung Shyh Yu
4. Teng Yu He
5. Ivy Lau
6. Heng Jing Yi


The Champion of the International Table Topics Contest 2009 is

KUNG SHYH YU


The 1st- Runner Up of the International Table Topics Contest 2009 is
RAS HADI


The 2nd – Runner Up of the International Table Topics Contest 2009 is

HENG JING YI


Thus, Champion will representing UM TMC for the Area W5 International Table Topics Contest and the 1st – Runner Up will be the back up if the Champion couldn’t make it to the contest.

For those who didn’t make it for champion or runner up, this is the first time and you will have more chances coming up in near future. So keep on trying and you can be the first for the next contest. For those who didn't participate, I would say that you have missed a good chance to perform in front our external experienced Toastmasters members. Do participate in the upcoming contests.


Since this is the final report, we, the officers of UM TMC, would like to congratulate our Organizing Chairperson, TM Deborah Chow, for leading the way in organizing a fabulous contest.

It was our first club contest and glad to say that we have obtained good comments and feedbacks from our external judges and role players. Overall evaluation - it was a fun and wonderful contest with ‘future professional speakers’.

We would definitely say that the contest was a complete success.


Rishi,
VPPR,
UM TMC.
