JCI Labuan 38th Installation and Awards Banquet
LABUAN: Junior Chamber International (JCI) Labuan held its 38th Installation and Awards Banquet (IAB) Dinner on March 9 at Lazenda Hotel Labuan Ballroom.
The gala event was held to install the newly elected 2019 president Jefery Tan and his board of directors.
Jefery’s theme this year is ‘Beyond Limits’, which is based on four principles: Lead, Motivate, Transform and Sustainable.
JCI provides opportunities to members to lead and learn new skills within and beyond JCI platform; motivate others to create positive change to themselves; with hope that they could transform JCI Labuan to another level; and eventually bring more sustainable projects to the community.
The organising chairperson who is also JCI Labuan commission director, Andrea Foo highlighted that a portion of the proceeds from the IAB’s ticket sales will be donated to PPKI (Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi) SMK Lajau. PPKI is a special education program designed to provide specialised education for children with special needs.
JCI Labuan presented a RM1,500 cheque to PPKI during the IAB. Additionally, a total of RM1,356 cash donations was collected from fellow attendees during the PPKI Student’s Special Angklung Performance.
During the event, awards were presented to JCI Labuan supportive and outstanding members:
