Lions Club of Labis & 
Lioness Club of Labis
Club Visit - 19/9/1997

My visit to the Lions and Lioness Club in Labis, Johor was capped with a pleasant surprise. Region 9 Chairman Chew Boon Chew, Zone 20 Chairman Tey Ee Kiam, and RCC7 Leo Clubs, Chong Chin Teck together with me, drove to Labis. Sheepishly, they did not elaborate much. As we approached the Lions Club House, I noticed there were two striking banners on both sides of the road.

I had thought it was a roadblock as there were so many people crowded around the area. It soon became clear that they were ‘Welcome” banners with the imposing Lions logo on both sides. The banners read, “Warmest Welcome to DG Lion Allan C.W. Cheah”. We had just about parked our car and I was taken aback to see so many Lions and Lioness congregating to welcome me.  I was deeply moved by such a warm gesture, even feeling like royalty!

Declared open Labis Lions Club House

The entourage escorted me to the second floor of a terrace shop lot. Then, I was invited to declare open their Lions Club. I proceeded to cut a bouquet of ribbons to a round of applause. It was a nice Club House, centrally located along the Labis Main Road.

After the fanfare was over, the Lions conducted an hour-long meeting. The club later presented an RM1,000.00 education scholarship to a student.
