The recent headliners of the 2008's US Presidential Campaign have been dominating the local papers and such have triggered the thoughts of our Table Topic Master, Darren Joe.

He structured tonight's table topic questions by asking,

"If you are a candidate, contending to be the next Prime Minister of Singapore...how would you approach the following national issues"

Subject matters ranging from the recent hike in taxi fares, questions if Singapore is a happy country to recent statistical survey of surging permanent residents, were tackled by the members of Lion City Toastmasters Club and even one of our spontaneous guest, Sean.

Sean, who attended the meeting with his wife - Lily, won the glory of being voted the Best Table Topic Speaker when he spoke on the challenges that Singaporeans are facing right now. Congratulations Sean!

During the prepared speech segment, coincidentally, the theme of our three speakers centred around the core principle of time management.

Josephine's vocal variety speech called to mind the importance of making time for issues that matter while June delivered a speech where she provoked the audience's thoughts of making full worth of our lives. Angela's advanced project had her speaking on the benefits of time management.
