Bersatu given 4 hours at New BPYs Orientation

Well at least its something. The New BPYs started their orientation on Sunday 19th August and are due to finish on the morning of Friday 24th August. Their orientation plans to include night stays at Berakas Forest Reserve and Serasa Beach.

So Bersatu was given a time slot to share experiences of the ship in Pusat Belia on 20th August 2007

First thing's first: An introduction from the President and the Vice President 1 at 5.30 pm which lasted about 40 minutes. He ran through a presentation to introduce the Association to the PYs and how they're supposed to join. Then a break for sembahyang and dinner.

From L-R: Fakhri, Meela and a bored Var PY05

Second round was time for Fakhri (YL04) and Meela (YL05) to share their experiences on board the ship. Billah (YL06) joined in towards the end. Tried to ram in the message that they should join the association when they come back. We had a little session after the presentation where the new PYs were divided into groups (i.e. who's responsible for what eg. discussion, club activities, etc ) with each group being given advice by the oh-so-knowledgeable ex-PYs on their responsibilities.

At the end, they gave us a token of their appreciation (sponsored by JBS) and the YLs demonstrated how a gift exchange ceremony works.

Thanks to all the exPYs who were there to support and thank you to JBS for giving us the opportunity to share our experiences with the new PYs.
