Dear Lion dignitaries and fellow Lions

We wish to inform you that as at the close of the nomination (on 27 March 2023), the nomination committee had received the nomination documents of the following canditates and found them to be in order:

1. Ronnie Hiew Ah Choi as DG candidate
2. Alyssa Lim Siew Wei as 2nd VDG candidate
3. Dato Lee Siew Ping as 2nd VDG candidate

The order above is based on the positions and the time of receipt by the nomination committee.

The nomination committee however had only received the nomination documents of 1st VDG candidate, Lion Ho Chui Leng on 29 March 2023, two days past the nomination due date.

As the submission was late and after the consultation with the LCI Legal team), we decided that the nomination of the 1st VDG candidate (in order to be valid) will have to be nominated from the floor at the upcoming district convention in accordance with the rules set out in Section 3 of Article 10 of the District By-Laws (a copy of which is attached for your reference).

Any candidate(s) who met the criteria for Second VDG including Lion Ho Chui Leng can stand for nomination(s) from the floor during the convention. A proposer and second is needed for each candidate. However, we would appreciate for those candidate(s) who wanted to stand as candidate(s) to submit all the requirements as per our CBL to the nomination committee on or before 26/4/2023 to enable the committee to do verification on the details while the nomination needs to be done from the floor.

Each candidate can only contest for one position which means of SVDG candidate contest for FVDG, she can’t compete for SVDG again .

We hope the above is clear. If you have any questions, you may contact the undersigned.

We wish you all the best.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely

DG Connie Loh Ming Hua

Rules of Procedure for the 61st MD 308 –

Apple is a complex symbol, with a variety of meanings which can be incorporated in a variety of contexts. It can mean love, knowledge, good health, passion or luxury, etc. In Chinese culture, it also means peace, as in 平安.

In modern days, apple is no longer just a fruit; it has also become a brand or rather a symbol of success – Apple, one of the world’s most successful brands, that brought iphone into our world. Steve Job, its co-founder once said, “Apple (the company) is not about making boxes for people to get their jobs done, although we do that well. Apple is about something more. Its core value is that we believe that people with PASSION can change the world for the better.”

He further said, “You’ve got to find what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking… As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

Inspired by Steve Job, I have used an apple as the logo, and the apple in this context means our passion for Lions and community services.

When we serve, let’s serve with passion. If we develop a passion for serving, we will never cease serving. In fact, we will enjoy serving and fall in love with Lions.
