Women Empowerment Symposium

17/5/2023

Women Empowerment by Bernard Chan

Rotary Club of Bandar Sungai Petani sponsored 2 ladies to District 3300 Action Group on Women Empowerment's Symposium on 13 May 2023 in Kuala Lumpur. We are also proud that our Rotarian Hery DeHaan was one of the moderators at the symposium.

Dear Rotary Sungai Petani,

Greetings of the day.

We'd like to thank you for providing support for our participation in the WOW symposium that have been held on 13.05.2023 (Saturday). Your sponsorship allowed us to meet and experience the trends associated with the women empowerment niche.

All delivered topics during the symposium are intriguing and demanding in accordance with current needs. Moreover, all speakers are influential and very knowledgeable in their field. Delivering what's promised on time is a big credibility builder.

In general, a better environment for women where they aren’t forced to choose between their dreams and families, where their goals aren’t considered insignificant or impossible to achieve and where they are allowed to nurture and grow as much as they want should be created. This symposium is very beneficial to us and efforts like this should be continued to allow more women to gain this valuable experience.

Thank you.
Best wishes,

Adilla and Hidayah

Construction of Covered Walkway for SMK Dato' Bijaya Setia, Sungai Petani

11/5/2023

Students of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato' Bijaya Setia have to endure the heat and rain when they arrive and leave the school while waiting for school buses and their parents to pick them up. Rotary Club of Bandar Sungai Petani team up with the Parent-Teacher Association of the school (PIBG) to construct a covered walkway for the students. Having drawn up the plans and obtained the necessary approvals from the various authorities, the Principal Puan Chua Jock Cheng, PIBG President Sanmugam Ramaiah and Committee Members attended Rotary Club of Bandar Sungai Petani meeting on 10 May 2023 to ink a Memorandum of Understanding on the construction and management of the walkway.

There will be advertisement spaces available for businesses to advertise on the structure which is along a major trunk road leading from Sungai Petani to Kuala Ketil. Details of this will be out soon. Contact president@rotarysungaipetani.org.
