Penang, well that's a long distance to cover from Batu Pahat. We had to start our journey at 12 am midnight and spent approximately 11 hours on the bus, finally reaching our destination - the B-Suite Hotel at about 11 am in the morning.


After resgistration and breakfast, it was time for our first activity at the forum, the Forum Special Project 'Effective Micro-organism'. We were transported to a riverside by bus and briefed about the project. After that, we were ordered to throw the prepared effective micro-organism mud balls into the river. It was explained that EM mud balls are very effective in purifying polluted rivers. The special project ended after all the EM mud balls were thrown into the river.


The next activity was the Forum Tours. Initially, we were supposed to return to our previous buses to be transported to the tour destinations. But apparently, the organizing committee failed to notify the delegates. After we got onto our bus, another group of Leos boarded our bus either due to lack of common sense or their bus were boarded by others too. Their sudden appearance caused our bus to overload. Then the organizing committee member in charge of our bus came up with a 'brilliant' idea. She decided to distribute all the forum attendance stickers she had to us and those who didn't get the stickers will be required to leave and search for another bus. Only four of us managed to acquire the sticker and the others had no choices but to leave the bus. It was then we found out that all the other buses were full. We end up waiting at the project site for another bus to arrive. Although the incident was not a pleasant one, but nevertheless, we managed to get onto a bus and visited the tour destinations.


After the tour, we were sent back to the hotel to have some rest and prepare for the fellowship night. Nothing much to cover on this part, just that we waited for a very long time before finally getting our room keys just to find out that the hotel was experiencing electricity and water supply problems. Other than that, everything else was just 'fine'. (Please let your imagination guide you when reading this paragraph.)

Later that night was the Fellowship Night held in Sunshine Hall. The theme for it was 'Super Heroes Night' and all of us have to dress up as super heroes. However, only Leo Lau Jian Hui prepared his Harry Potter costume. We had our dinner there while enjoying performances from various artists. Leo Lau Jian Hui even won the second price in the 'Best Dress Competition'. After the fellowship night ended, we returned to the hotel; hoping to have a nice sleep. But once again, our hope were crushed as the hotel was still having their 'technical' problems with the electricity and water supply.


The next day, we went through all the protocols of the opening ceremony in the Sunshine Hall. Then it was the Forum Theme Talk. The title of the talk is 'Moving Forward..Youth of the New Era' and the speaker is PDG Leong A Sam. The Public Speaking Competition followed after we had our lunch. The contestants are all very talented, they have no difficulty speaking in front of the crowd. After that, the Sub-District Forum took place where we managed to get some awards. (Refer to the achievements section.)

Night time...The banquet...This is the most exciting part of the whole forum. This when the TOP award will be given out. We were all very nervous when the Master of Ceremony was announcing the awards. Fortunately, our club was managed to get all the TOP awards, thus maintaining the achievements of our seniors. Here is some pictures to share.

Didn't have much to type about the last day. After we finished our breakfast, our incoming key officers went for the School for Incoming Leo Key Officers. Then it was the Closing Ceremony. After the closing ceremony, we set on our journey back to Batu Pahat.
