History of DDYPC TMC

The initiative of setting up of the DDYPC TMC was first mooted in January 2008 by the PCSB’s Development Division Young Professional Club (DDYPC)-Year 2007/08 with support from the Development Division’s Management to enhance and improve the overall communication and presentation skills of DD fraternity.

An introduction to Toastmasters International (TI) was organized to interested staff on 28 February 2008 with cooperation from MCOBA Toastmasters as the Mentor Organisation. The mock session received an overwhelming response, with more than 100 enthusiastic participants, some of whom had the opportunity of taking part in a “live” demo of spontaneous speaking.

Subsequently, the new committee for DDYPC TMC was set up with the first meeting held on the historic date of 2nd April 2008. Our greatest gratitude to TM Ganesh from Maxis TMC and TM Haji Anuar from MCOBA TMC, the duo who have been playing a crucial role in mentoring the club and helping us realize our vision to have the club chartered, effectively on 26 June 2008.

Meetings are held every 1st and 3rd Thursday from 12-2 pm. The club has since gotten overwhelming support from external guests who have has warmly grace us with their presence in every meeting. Our big THANK YOU.
