SIT TMC as Project Speaker, 13th August 2019

On the 13^th August 2019, I visited SIT Toastmasters, as project speaker.  This was my 27^th club visit, on the 44^th day of the Toastmaster year.

The Toastmaster of the Day was Jeevan Mahendran.  The language evaluator was Encey Yao.  The table topics master was Desvin s/o K. Sukumaran.  The timer was the interestingly named Wrong Lee.

I was the first speaker.  I spoke on the different categories of wealth, and how the high net worth utilise insurance and other financial instruments differently from normal people.  I gave the example of the use of trusts and other vehicles to mitigate tax liability, investment-linked plans to move funds with minimal oversight, and the use of premium loans to create wealth through credit lines.  The title of my speech was “The Difference between Rich & Wealthy”.

The second speaker was Vasanthi Jagannathan Ravi.  She was attempting a project from the legacy programme’s Advanced Manual, and she played the part of a news presenter, talking about history, and how it impacts us.

The third speech was by Desvin s/o K. Sukumaran.  As the current president, he gave an impassioned speech about his plans for the club.  He wants SIT Toastmasters to have 50 members by the end of his term, and he unveiled a series of programmes and initiatives to achieve this, so it was not an empty promise.  These young people have a plan.

The project evaluators were Lim Jun Song, Pee Hai Ning, and Vasanthi Jagannathan Ravi.
