Goodwill Message: The Rotary Club of Port Klang

Dear President and Fellow Rotarians,

Warm greetings from all the members of the Rotary Club of Port Klang. We are sending this message to Rotary clubs around the globe in our effort to promote peace and better world understanding.

A Brief Introduction of our Town and Country

Port Klang is located in the State of Selangor Darul Ehsan, West Malaysia. It is not only the biggest and most modern port in Malaysia but is currently ranked the 12th busiest container ports in the world. The local community comprises many ethnic races, expatriates and foreign employees who work for both local and multi-national companies.

Malaysia is a multi-racial country with a population of 29 million. Due to the presence of the various races and religions, the country celebrates various festivals such as Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavall, Christmas, Taipusam and Wesak day as depicted by the stamps enclosed. We have the tallest Twin Towers in the world among many fascinating buildings and monuments. Malaysia is a beautiful country with scenic beaches, tropical rainforests with natural habitats for wildlife and is also a shopper's paradise. This makes our country a great tourist destination and a must for everyone to visit and experience.

A Brief Introduction of our Club

Our Club was chartered on 21 May 1987 and currently has a membership of 23 Rotarians. As part of our service to our community, we have regularly carried out various projects for the benefit of the local community who are largely involved in the manufacturing and port industries. One of our main projects is the "Food Basket" project which involves providing "food supplies" to the hard core poor families and welfare homes in our community. This is in line with this year's theme "ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY".

We sincerely hope that this goodwill message will result in an on-going communication between our clubs. Finally, we wish you all a successful Rotary Year.

Yours in Rotary Service, Kuah Leong Qui, PHF, President, Rotary Year 2016-2017; Lim Chang Mee, PHF, Publicity Chairman. 15 November 2016
