THE
PAN BORNEO INTER-CLUBS MEET
(held annually and hosted in rotation by a Rotary Club in Borneo) |
| |
|
The Pan
Borneo Inter-Clubs Meet started in 1984 as an intercity meet
for the Rotary Clubs in Kuching, Sibu and Miri in Sarawak,
East Malaysia, which were then under Rotary International
District 330 Group 11.
As these clubs are geographically far apart and were not
easily accessible, the concept of an intercity meet was
proposed by the Rotary Club of Kuching, which was then under
the leadership of President Kang Tee Yong, in response to RI
President Carlos Canseco’s theme of “Discover A New World Of
Service”,
The intercity meet would alleviate the difficulties being
experienced by the three clubs coming together to exchange
ideas and would also permit closer ties to be formed between
them. Prior to this, the only time the clubs made contacts
was when visiting Rotarians from one of the clubs attend the
Rotary meetings of another club.

The objective of the intercity meet were:
-
To provide
opportunity for Rotarians in these clubs to meet
-
To
exchange ideas on all aspects of the Rotary movement
-
To
identify a project that could be jointly undertaken by the clubs
The proposal was readily accepted
by the Rotary Club of Sibu and Miri, which was under the leadership
of President Clement Tiong and Kiu Chiong Ming respectively.
The first Pan Borneo Intercity Meet was held in Kuching on 8th
December 1984. It was attended by the Presidents of all the three
clubs and more than thirty Rotarians.
In 1987, the Intercity Meet expanded to include Rotary Clubs from
Sabah and Brunei to become the Pan Borneo Inter-Clubs Meet. A
tradition of the annual Pan Borneo Inter-Club Meet started then with
a Pan Borneo project being carried out by the hosting club, funded
by RM1,000.00 contribution from each participating club in the Pan
Borneo.
The Rotary Club of Miri hosted the first Pan Borneo Inter-Clubs Meet
and the first Pan Borneo project was the donation of medial and
sports equipment to the Home for the Aged in Miri.
The second Pan Borneo Inter-Clubs Meet was hosted by the Rotary Club
of Bintulu although there was no Pan Borneo project carried out
then.
In the true spirit of Rotary, participation in the Pan Borneo
Inter-Clubs Meet has not been confined to Rotary Clubs from Borneo
alone. At each Meet, Rotarians from our neighbours join us in the
spirit of fellowship, in peace and understanding, in furthering our
guiding principle of Service Above Self.
