District Governor 2011-2012 : Lion Shawn Lee Kean Song with 90.85%
1st Vice District Governor 2011-2012 : Lion Tan Swee Kok with 82.92%
2nd Vice District Governor 2011-2012 : Lion Lee Boon Hoe with 60.12%

Personally for me, the highlight of this Convention is all the speeches by the eloquent Past International President Kajit Habanananda, whether its 5 mins or 20 mins am truly entranced by his charisma. The one that stands out most in my mind is when he spoke on our Lions Logo "Proud of our Past, Confident of our Future". He added that we got to look far beyond the two faces on the left and right. The "L" in the centre which denotes the Lions in each of us is equally important. Majority of us need to find ways to fill up the "hollow cavity" in each of us, to be a more respectable Lion.

50th MD 308 Lions Convention shall be held from 19-22 April 2012 at The Pullman Kuching as the Convention Hotel, however delegates from 308B2 shall be at Grand Margherita Hotel, Kuching. Registration is RM300 until 30 September 2011 and the Superior-Double room is RM220.40 nett per night. For more details log on www.50md308lionsconvention.org
