Lions Road Safety Campaign

The Road Safety Campaign was organized by Lions Club of Batu Pahat, Polis Diraja Malaysia and The Summit Batu Pahat. Those who are involved in this activity gathered at the stage of Summit Parade Batu Pahat at 12.00p.m. .After the briefing from Leo Ernest Hoe, we started to pack the things that yet to be distributed to the road-users later. Following the instructions given by Leo Ernest Hoe, we arranged the plastic bags in rows on the floor to make it easier to put in the stickers, hand-outs and also some snacks. After 1 hour of hard work, all of the plastic bags were packed. We then had a rest while at the same time, Lion Juliet Kek treated all of us a simple lunch with some wafers and biscuits. Around 2.30 p.m., some officers from PDRM arrived and they gave a talk on the road safety and the safety features of vehicles. Soon after the talk, YDH ACP Ibrahim Bin Mohd Aris, who is the Chief Police of Batu Pahat, arrived. Y.B. Koh Chee Chai, who is ADUN of Penggaram Area, arrived right after the arrival of Chief Police Batu Pahat. After the speeches finished being delivered, the opening ceremony was conducted by Y.B. Koh Chee Chai. At the same time, we Leos were standing and witnessing the grand opening ceremony. We gave our seats to the Police Cadet from Parit Sulong. After the opening ceremony, the performances started, the performances were fascinating and we were enjoying watching. The distribution of Certificates and Souvenirs was carried out after Lions L.Vin Soo giving out the packages of daily necessities for 20 poor families. Lastly, all of the committees went out of the Summit Parade, with many plastic bags in hand, and distributed them to the road-users who passed by the road at the time. We went back the stage of Summit Parade after giving out those packed plastic bags to clean the surrounding of the stage. After the activity ended, we were asked to stay back to have a complimentary dinner with those poor families and the police cadet at MK Restaurant in Summit Parade. This dinner was fully sponsored by the person-in-charge of Summit Parade Batu Pahat. Our service didn’t end yet at the time, we went back to the stage to carry the chairs to the MK Restaurant as the chairs provided weren’t enough for us. Around 7.10 p.m. , all of us started to eat together, and we had had a lot of fun and chatting in the restaurant. After dinner, we went home with a exhausted body yet, an energized, satisfied mind.
