LIFE as JAYCEES

LIFE as JAYCEES:
It was in 1990. During my first month employment with one of the Architectural Firm in Kota Kinabalu, I hardly know the concept of MEETING, especially when my boss told me to handle a project that require me to CHAIR meetings. I was questioning even more unfamiliar words such as AGENDA, NOTICE of MEETING, and details such as CALL TO ORDER, ADJOURNMENT, SECONDER, MOTION, etc. Not until I met JC Peter Moh, our beloved Past President, of whom he was also involved in the same project as the Quantity Surveyor. I raised my concern on my difficulties to understand the nature of MEETING to him over an afternoon tea at a coffee shop below my office. JC Peter is known to me as a very precise and wise person. He said “NO PROBLEM, just join Tanjung Aru Junior Chamber”. I did, I signed the form on the spot, and very few days later, with guidance from JC Peter Moh, I did learnt what I was looking for. In fact I learnt much more ever since than what I expected. Thank you JC Peter Moh, and thank you Tanjung Aru Junior Chamber, its really wonderful to be JAYCEES. Cheers from JC Zainal Abidin Awang Damit.
