The theme of the evening was ‘to do or not to do’.


Novice TME, Bong YiLin CC, did well in her introduction by structuring a poem. How was Toastmasters founder Dr Raph Smedley started this program with his group of friends.


Grammarian Chin Teng Yoong CTM, encourage us to use this Word of the evening, Discerning - having showing good judgment or understanding.


Impromptu time! Table Topic Master Linda Phoon TM, went on stage with a big box.

Guess what!
We all thought she's doing the impromptu magic show instead of impromptu speech (lol)Five speakers, a combination of Toastmasters members and non Toastmasters members were doing equally well.


Our guests Mr Low and Nalina delivered a good speech, despite of the unknown topic they pick.

Crystal TMC Meeting Keynotes 26th May 2014

Well done Carolyn Wong. ​ Datin M...

Emerging evidence is painting a strikingly different picture. It turns out that the appendix play a vital function in the development of the immune system,” said my friend who is a doctor. Similarly in our society, each and every member is an essential part to the health of the whole nat...
