Lion Millennium Time Capsule were built at DR Seenivasagam Recreational Park which is the largest recreational park in Perak. The official launch was on 20th May, 2000.
Objective:
1. To deliver messages to future generations.
2. To give our descendents a glimpse of their past.
Two capsule were installed. One capsule will be opened in 100 years (year 2100).
The second capsule will be opened in 20 years ( year 2020 in line with Tun Dr. Mahathir, Malaysian 4th Prime Minister's Vision). Another capsule may then be installed.
For Melanie:-
On our 50th Anniversary in 2016 with our sister clubs at Millennium Time Capsule.
Another glimpse on your club history. What did you put inside the capsule?
ReplyDeleteWe sold postcards to members and the public at nominal prices. Messages were written on the postcards for their loved ones and to the clubs, NGO and others. Old Lion magazines were also placed inside for the future Lions to open and share the club’s history. Some to be opened in 2020 and some after 100 years.
DeleteWe hope the above answers your query, Annabella.
They are a few name on the committee which still serve in the club till now like T. Sriskanda, Peter Lip, Dato Foo Wan Kien, Ho Choon Seng and that most senior Lions of yours Khor Chee Kung! Wow they are very dedicated. You guys should take picture once again at that place. It'll be historic man!
ReplyDeleteGood idea Andy. G. Hopefully we can get all to do that in 2020, a mere 3 years from now.
DeleteWhich part of Taman DR is this? Im planning to visit Perak next year, want to add in this place on my itenery. Thank you in advance.
ReplyDeleteIt is next to the children’s playground. You can’t miss it Sangeetha.
DeleteThank you! Will add it in my schedule.
DeleteThis is interesting. Something new. I've only heard about time capsule around USA before, so Lions Club outside USA also do the same. Good, the next generation should know their history, some great feeling you'll have when you see all those materials.
ReplyDeleteWe think we are the only one in our district to have a millennium time capsule, John.
DeleteIt amazing how you reminiscing about your history while creating a new one. You guys should keep this blog alive, let the others read and know more about you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouraging words, Konrad.
DeleteI saw it b4!still standing strong in the park.quite big actually.u dont have the launching picture?will be awesome if u can put it up too.
ReplyDeleteIn the year 2000 we did not carry smartphones to take pictures Syuan Yan. We had to rely on those with cameras.
DeleteUnfortunately the Lion who was busy clicking away on that auspicious day never gave the club a single photo. When we asked him he said none came out.
That is why if you look at our history although we mention the Millennium Time Capsule, there are no photos.
the awesomeness of lions club of ipoh host keep growing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Monicka.
DeleteMust be sad for not having any picture of that event righ. But even so, i think you need to add in a lot of stuff already to your capsule. Your club already achive tons of amazing history since 2000, while it still fresh and you still have it, better keep add it in the capsule. All of your achievement is amazing.
ReplyDeleteDont rest, keep on spread the love!
Thanks for your compliments and also your advise, Suzanne. We shall consider it.
DeleteThis is an unique chapter or your history. Congratulation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Junika.
Delete3 years from now the 1st capsule will be open right? Cant wait to see what there inside it. Must be amazing to witness this caremony.
ReplyDeleteYes it will be.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis is new and as awesome as your club.
I wonder what it'll be when you open it in 2020. Hopefully we still can get some news from you guys in the future.
I've told my kids about your blog since they're going to UFI Conference in March next year at Malaysia. They say they'll take a picture of Ipoh for me.
You really inspire others, I hope your members will continue doing that from your heart. Because a passion from heart last longer, a passion for fame just for a while. Do it from your heart, fame will befriend you in silence.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Amethyst Richardson
Again thank you for your advice Amethyst, really appreciate it.
DeleteSince your kids are coming to Malaysia in Mac, ask them to drop by in Ipoh. We would be more than happy to show them around.
Hello,
DeleteThat is so sweeet of you. Very very kind person you are. I'll pass it to my kids.
Thank you and best regards,
Amethyst Richardson
You are most welcome, Amethyst.
DeleteYour club is obviously great, your admin js a really really kind person to respon to every readers. I think your act attract many readers to keep on reading your blog. Thats good. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteIts a sad thing that none picture of lauching caremony in your possession, but it is a big event, maybe there is a newspaper article on it?
It is something big doing this capsule thing. I wish theres more picture of that area and maybe a picture of LCIH members there. :)
Have a nice day!
Thanks Melanie.
ReplyDeleteYes, we realised it and just got over it. No point crying over spilt milk.
Your idea for the Lions to be there to take photos may materialise.
It fact we took some when our sister clubs visited us on our 50th Anniversary. The pictures are above.
Oh my God! You are really really nice.
DeleteThats good that you have a photo during your 50th Anniversary there. Should add in those picture in your capsule next.
I remember this statue. Across the playground at Taman DR. Should highlight this as one of important things about the presence of Lions club in Perak. Its a joint project I guess? By the list of name at it? But this is the first time I come to a article about this. Never heard about this anywhere before.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Lions Club of Ipoh Host to highlight about this.
Thank you Suria.
DeleteThis is an amazing story. Please let us see more insight your history.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Francesca. We will
DeleteI am at the capsule yesterday.some parents park their car around that area in evening when they bring their kids to the playground opposite it.so u need to see it carefully so u dont miss it.maybe u can put some signboard for it.if u come during night while rent a bike from mbike@kinta riverside,u gonna miss this because there is no light in that area.
ReplyDeleteThe whole area is under the local council. They have not even fixed lights for the playground at night. So most probably they wont fix it for the Lions Millennium Time Capsule also Syuan Yan.
DeleteWould be fun to see the then and now picture of the committee. I recognise few name as your club member.
ReplyDeleteYes it would be,A D B. 20 years down the road in the year 2020.
DeleteWhen you open it in 2020, you should add in your magazines coz every magazine contain a lot of picture. Maybe some pendrive with photo too, but who know if they still have card reader to read 2017 pendrive thou. Haha so sometime, paper is still the best!
ReplyDeleteP/s: i do enjoy reading your blog. I notice you have done so much this term. Can I copy few of your prpject as idea for my club?? Thank you in advance.
You are most welcome Zunika to choose which projects your club wishes to do.
DeleteThank you. Thank you so much. I really like the project Go Green with kids as we know that kids usually didn't like vegi that much.
DeleteThank you again.
After 20 years surely there a lots to add in. Make a list, dont miss a thing!
ReplyDeleteWe shall try Chaikung.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love to read your blog and also your comments. Your post and reply are really well manage and profesional. Its like we are reading a newspaper coverage. Most of photos are what we readers want to see and is a proof of your projects. Only few photos looks like selfie which sometime looks like you are promoting someone. But the rest are really showcase you talent. Well done.
You're doing this for second term. Good job, hopefully you'll doing this for future term too. I also want to do a blog for my club. But there is too many challenging factors. To assign people to reporting, to sort photo, to manage the url (all the coding here and there), updating, there too many person and scope need to involve, which make it more difficult. So I salute you guys for manage to continue this for the second term.
Congratulations and thank you for being an inspiration and source of ideas for our club projects and activities.
Thank you. God bless.
Thank you for your compliments Freja.
ReplyDeleteWe manage with our blog the best we can with whatever manpower we have.
Furthermore we are only amateurs with no blogging experience.
Well thats how an expert behave. You are very humble and kind person. Keep up with this. You sure will be respect by others.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments Samantha.
