MIRI (Aug 2): Youth are the leaders of the future, and their involvement in organisations such as the Leo Club can empower them to develop leadership skills, gain valuable experiences, and create a positive impact in their communities.
Lions Club International 308-A2 Governor Dato Winnie Lee Siew Ping said the Leo movement is founded on three core values ― leadership, experience and opportunity ― which aim to shape young individuals into community-minded leaders.
'As Lions and Leos, we are comrades in service. Let us unite with one heart, make service our guiding compass, and ensure that leadership is always rooted in the spirit of serving others,' she said during her speech at the Joint Installation, Initiation & Orientation Ceremony for new Leo members held at Curtin University Malaysia Miri here recently.
The event was jointly held by the Leo Club of Curtin University Malaysia, Leo Club of SMK St Columba, Leo Club of Kolej Tun Datu Tuanku Haji Bujang, and Leo Club of SMK Chung Hua Miri.
She reminded the newly installed presidents and committee of the significant responsibilities they carry, emphasising that true leadership is not about power but about inspiring others to work towards common goals.
'Actively take part in projects, share your ideas ― because every effort, no matter how small, counts,' she said.
In addition to engaging in community service, she also encouraged Leo members to maintain balance with their academic commitments, as the knowledge and skills gained through education would further enhance their ability to serve effectively in the future. lead leo club miri youths
