MEDICAL Camp 2010

On 6th March 2010, the Rotaract Club of Universiti Teknologi Petronas has successfully organised free health screening Medical Camp 2010 at Tesco Ipoh. The objectives of this programme are to increase the awareness of public about the importance of having good health, provide free checkups for all and to promote healthy lifestyle.
This programme was well received by the residents of Ipoh. In this medical camp, we had provided free blood pressure and glucose level test, BMI test, cancer awareness and healthy lifestyle campaign, which were conducted by the Jabatan Kesihatan Kinta. There was also Blood Donation Drive, which was handled by Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun. There are also free eye checking conducted by Focus Point Optical Shop. To attract more crowds, committees distributed the flyers around Tesco area to invite people to join the medical check-up and to ask them to donate their blood.
During the checking, the nurses in-charge would convey and explain the correct way to take care of heath, for example the suggested level of sugar needed by our body and how to maintain an ideal level. Advices such as drinking more water and taking frequent exercises were given. Questions and answers between them will make the public gain much more information regarding medical cases. Therefore, it will enhance the public to concern more on their health by gaining a continuous advice by the hospital.
With the kind contribution of corporate sponsors – CIMB Bank, Tesco Ipoh and Roche, this programme can run successfully. The Medical Camp officially started at 11 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. with the total of 241 participants for the basic health check-up and 38 successful blood donors. The day was also graced by the attendance of 7 Rotarians and 10 Rotaractors. Mr Zulkarnan Abdul, the advisor of RACUTP and senior manager of UTP staff also attended the event. Before ending the day, as a short closing ceremony, Rotarian Arthur, President of Rotary Kinta and advisor of RACUTP presented a small token of souvenir to all the sponsor companies and the health centres involved.
RACUTP is proud to have played a role in helping to increase public awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Being able to be a part of this event and having the chance to give something back to the society left an imprint in everyone of the committees’ heart forever.

ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN (ROSEC)

Held in collaboration with HSE WEEK from the 12^th February to 3^rd March

The Road Safety Campaign (ROSEC) is primarily aimed at bringing awareness to the students and staff of Univesrtiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) as well as the students and public around UTP on the importance of Road Safety related practices in daily life. It is a common fact that the number of accidents in Malaysia is one of the highest in the region. Thus, we at Rotaract Club of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS together with Rotary Club of Kinta feel that enough is enough, and it is a time to bring change to this issue. Thus, the idea to have the Road Safety Campaign in UTP. We feel that change needs to be done from within our community first. Thus, the UTP community as well as the public near UTP is the main target group for this event. We believe that if the message on the importance of Road Safety can get through to them, then they can be the agents that spread the importance of Road Safety to others.

Apart from advocating awareness on Road Safety, ROSEC also aims to build service relationships among Rotarians, Rotaractors and the community of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. This event is surely bound to enable the participants as well as the organizers to build a good working relationship. This is of great importance in ensuring the success of the event. Without a solid working relationship among both parties, there would be much to lose. Besides, this project will also help to integrate invaluable project management skills and leadership experience among the organizing committee in order to produce well-rounded graduates.

Activities that were held throughout the campaign in collaboration with HSE week.

RACUTP in Triple-Do Celebration

Rotary Club of Kinta had just organized their annual "Triple-Do" Celebration on 2nd March 2010 at Hainan Chiken Rice Ipoh. So what is this Triple-Do all about? Actually it's a combination of 3 events, namely:
World Understanding Month
105th Anniversary of Rotary International
30th Anniversary of Rotary Club of Kinta

RACUTP was lucky enough that our Advisor, Rtn Arthur, invited us to join the celebration. It was a simple but pleasant dinner. The dinner started at 7.30pm with the warm welcoming speech by the MC, and ended at 10.00pm after the cake-cutting ceremony by the presidents (past + current) of Rotary Club of Kinta.

Well the dinner was actually a 3Triple Do Plus 1 Celebration, as we're also celebrating the birthday of Rtn Hamid Mydin PHF (Past President of Rotary Club of Kinta, 1989-1990)

Then it's the President's Time:
