Mah shows who’s the
master CRITICAL thinking
skills definitely set him apart and enabled him to outshine the
others. It was no surprise when Mah Ting Keong, a principal consultant of TK EHS Consultancy
Services Sdn Bhd, walked
away with the Table Topic contest (impromptu speech) title. In a blink of an eye, Mah, 49, provided a solid answer coupled with his lively
performance when asked “How Has Advertisement In-fluenced
You?” “This is a surprise
win. Anyway I gave my best shot when thrown the question,” said Mah, one of the founders of Bayan
Baru Toastmas-ters Club
in Coming in second and
third were insurance company manager Ong Swee Keat and factory executive
Erica Chan
respectively.
Mah attributed the win to his ability in putting a speech in an or- ganised manner within a
short time. A total of 10
participants from the club contested in two categories – international speech
and table topics (impromptu speech). The international
speech title went to freelance trainer Michael Xavier, who was clearly in his
element expressing himself on AIDs related issues
titled ‘Let’s face it’. In his speech, he
urged the floor not to stigmatise Malaysians with
HIV/AIDs, but show support and care for them.
“I think fluency in my
speech helped me to win,” he said. Insurance company
manager Ong Swee Keat and PDC pro- perty
division manager Margaret Chan finished second and third re-spectively.
