Chong Pang TMC as Chief Judge, 30th October 2019

On the 30^th October 2019, I was at Chong Pang Toastmasters Club, as chief judge.  This was my 101^st club visit on the 122^nd day of the Toastmaster year.

This was the 7^th year of Chong Pang’s Next Top Speaker, which is open to students of secondary schools in the area.  The organising team is the ExCo of Chong Pang Toastmasters Club, including Kok Yee Keong, Chang Soek Khim, Tony Tan Sein Wee, Shirley Tham Suet Lai, and others.

Because of the sheer number of participants of this preliminary round, there were several judging panels.  The appoint holders were as follows:

Group 1

Contest Chair: Ho Chiu Lin

Chief Judge: Tony Lim Tong Lee

Judges: Angela Lansbury, Roger Sng B. S.

Timer: Meng Da Onn

Group 2

Contest Chair: Jenny Rachel Wan

Judges: Annabelle Fabia de Arroz, Annie Goh

Timer: Gavin Lim

Group 3

Timer: Thinesh Rajan

Group 4

Contest Chair: Rina Tay Sim Seck

Chief Judge: Myself

Judges: Lim Chee Hoo, Joshua Sathasivam Shanmugam

Timer: Belinda Lee

Out of twenty contestants per group, two qualify for the finals, on Wednesday, 06^th November.  The event was run like clockwork, and Chong Pang Toastmasters Club can be justifiably proud of what they have achieved.
