WELCOME 2009




3rd January 2009.

GREETINGS TO ALL OF YOU. A happier and more prosperous 2009 has arrived.

This blog site is the idea of our new secretary, MR. A Theiviendran PPN. We are the third branch, after Muar and Seremban to have a blog site. It is being kept interesting and for 2009, we have plans to make it lively and meaningful to exist.

DO LOOK AT IT REGULARLY. Please comment.

We had our FIRST BIENNIAL GENERAL MEETING on 3rd August 2008. The new committee is already active, and some changes in the committee members mix. This will be done in February 2009. The discipline and the the monthly committee meetings are promising, regular, well attended and RESPONSIBILTY is shown by all, every time.

MARAN TEMPLE: This new committee had organised a successful trip to MARAN temple and back on the 16th of November,2008. Ganesa Dass and wife T. Malar, saw to all the details, and brought in a profit as well.

CHINESE DINNER: A 8 course Chinese dinner was on 6th of December, 2008. 4 tables, 40 members and an evening of fun amongst us to know each other better. President Datuk Dr Tharmaseelan and deputy Dr. Sundralingam were present, in support of the Branch activity. This "DIWALI MAKAN" was taken care by Mrs.V Rasamany and Ms Belinda Ho. Taken well care of, this activity was also profitable.

MEMBERSHIP: Ganesa Das heads the membership development committee. All of you can help him to increase branch membership. Many more members needed. You can help.
For easir facilitation, we are pursuing membership fees of RM10 concept for 5 years or RM52 for life. Have the form filled correctly and in full. With collected fees, reach Ganesa Das at 017-2049388.

MARCH 8th 2009
Ganesa Das(017 2049388) and wife T.Malar (012-3401493) are again organising a one day trip to a temple in Muar, visit the Famosa in Malacca, and return via Seremban with another temple visit. 16 seats booked. 24 seats available. CALL NOW.

APRIL 2009
A 5km run in SRI PETALING is being organised. Details pending. Members and families of all other branches, are also invited to join the Sri Petaling residents to run the 5km run and get goody gifts. Member Mahadevan (016 3867233)(a sportsperson, himself) organises this event.

TAMIL LANGUAGE Classes in the country. Proposed 500 home tuition classes goes on. New teachers are registering. February would see an outburst in the local media.

"CEYLON"s IN MALAYSIA. How many Ceylon's are there in Malaysia. We know Menara Bukit Ceylon, Jalan Ceylon, and of Lorong Ceylon in Penang and in K.Lumpur. Is or was there a Ceylon Bar in Penang and a Kafe Ceylon Hill in Kualal Lumpur. What about Ceylon Bakery in Kuala Lumpur and a Ceylon Shipping Corporation in Port Kelang? The hint is given for you to look around, in your town and in your state. Send us pictures, and comments (notes). We can start a page or two and call it CEYLON IN MALAYSIA. Make our blogsite interesting for people to turn to. Any other themes? Please let us know.

2009 CHARITY. For the whole of 2009, MCC Sri Petaling members have adopted "SALAAM WANITA", a representative body for single mothers with "special children". In this scenario, the children are home bound, and need the mother's attention at all times. SALAAM WANITA has trained these mothers to become self dependant by weaving a range of baskets, using magazine pages. What they need are volunteers to identify locations, manage the sales of crafs, and to help the mothers earn an income. Thiruselvam would take the lead.



Meanwhile, keep in touch.
Increase the members, as you know there are ???000's of Ceylonese in the country, and only a miserable 5,000 are members, nationally speaking. Being a member, means being supportive. A larger congress, can stand majestic. Recognition and demands for the community and so on, come only AFTER WE HAVE THE NUMBERS. Having become a member, go along with the flow, be supportive, volunteer representation, lend a helping hand and so on. It is that kind of a mindset that wins.

K.Thiruselvam
Chairman
Sri Petaling
