How To Kill An Organisation • • •

• • • • •
Don’t come to meetings When you do come, come late. If you do attend a meeting, find fault with the officers and other members. Never accept any committee appointment; as it is easier to criticise than to do things. Hold back your dues as long as possible, as it is easier to criticise than to or don’t pay at all. However, get sore if you are not appointed on some committee; but if you are, do not attend meeting. If asked by the Chairman to give your opinion, about some important matter, tell him you have nothing to say. After the meeting, tell everybody how things ought to be done. Do absolutely nothing, but when other members willingly and unselfishly use their ability to help matters along, howl that the organisation is run by a clique. Keep your eyes open for something wrong, and when you find it, resign. do something, then go home and do the opposite. Agree to everything said at the meeting, and then disagree with it outside. Always delay replying communications from the Association, or better still, don’t answer at all. And last but not least, don’t actually resign; otherwise you will lose the opportunity to kill the Association.
Editor’s Note: I believe we don’t have any ‘assassins’ out there among our members. So, do what is expected out of a faithful and dedicated member. Do your part so that you will belong to a Chapter you can be proud of. Happy reading....... Ng Tze Ek Editor

In September 2015, 193 world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development. If these Goals are completed, it would mean an end to extreme poverty, inequality and climate change by 2030. Our governments have a plan to save our planet…it’s our job to make sure they stick to it. The Global Goals are only going to work if we fight for them and you can’t fight for your rights if you don’t know what they are. We believe the Goals are only going to be completed if we can make them famous.

Effective Communications with the Public
Datuk Joseph Leong Sai Ho, author of this article, is a JCI Senator and President of JCI KK in 1970. He has been engaged in various aspects of social communications since 1962, including journalism, public relations practice, advertising business, and government information service.
WHEN invited by the Editor of this JCIKK Newsletter to contribute an article on communications with the public, I gladly accepted, for two good reasons. Firstly, it is a subject which I have been professionally involved with for the past half a century. Secondly, I strongly feel that our local JCI organisation should devote greater thought on matters related to communications with the public. JCI fully appreciates the need for proper public relations (PR) programmes for local chapters; rightly so. That’s why PR has, for as long as I can remember, been one of the eight commissions of JCI KK. The JCI, just like any other bodies that exist today, is faced with the choice of either allowing its public relations to develop erratically or to organise them properly. DEFINITION OF P.R. Public Relations is actually a functional concept. It has been defined as “the deliberate, planned, and sustained effort to establish and maintain mutual understanding between an organisation and its public”. Therefore the basic purpose of public relations is principally the establishment and maintenance of goodwill; to see that its good reputation is sustained by good performance and by appropriate publicity. In short, public relations is the conscious effort in two-way communication, establishing and maintaining satisfactory relations between an organisation and its public. Of course, the “public” varies with the organisations and their respective field of activity. FORMS OF COMMUNICATION The key tools with which a public relations man works, are mainly words and pictures. The words may be written or spoken and the graphic materials could be in the form of still photographs, charts or audio-visuals such as video clips. In fact, there is a wide range of mass communications media available to reach out to the public. Communication is easy; every-one does it all the time. But effective communication is difficult. It involves attracting attention, compelling interest and conveying information with impact and accuracy. I would like to run through briefly, the different forms of mass communications that can be used in our relations with the public. 1. PERSONAL COMMUNICATION This can take the form of talks and lectures and is the strongest and most persuasive means of putting across a message which is aided by the force of personality of the communicator. Its success depends on the ability of the speaker to communicate effectively in speech, the need for others to pass the communication onwards and the possibility of any reporting or recording of speech for future use. The strength of personal communication lies in the fact that the speaker and audience are brought face to face and thus allows for questions and discussions. I remember in 1969 when VPO Jaycee Saito visited Lahad Datu, one of his programmes included a talk with school children. He was actually very happy with that experience. This is a very effective means of public relations which many JCI officials have utilized and are still doing so.
2. SOCIAL MEDIA However, in recent years, the emergence of the “social media” has greatly changed the information communications scene. It has had a huge impact on the traditional forms of communications. Social media has become a powerful force in modern day communications. I say powerful because knowledge is power. Now by access to the Internet and through the social media, anyone going online is empowered by an almost unlimited flow of information to add to the knowledge bank of the user. Hence, the social media can have a great impact, both positive and negative, on an organisation, like the JCI, and on our society as a whole. One of the negative consequences arising from the rapid spread of the social media is the diminishing of interpersonal skills. Human interactions, like phone conversations and face-to-face meetings, are replaced by convenient platforms, such as the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and of course the WhatsApp chat groups on mobile phones. The challenge is for the JCI KK to utilize the social media to its best advantage and to achieve positive results. An example is the posting of this Newsletter online, enabling a speedy reach to the intended readership, even before copies of the print version is ready and distributed. 3. PRINTED MATERIALS
Despite the widespread use of the social media, printing, the oldest mechanical technique, is still relevant and popular. Our printed public relations materials include Souvenir Programmes for occasions such as the annual Installation of the new president and other special events. Printed materials remain a valuable tool of communication. These would include our Constitution & By-Laws, membership application forms, posters, billboards, promotional leaflets etc.
4. NEWSPAPERS In Sabah, daily newspapers come in various languages – English, Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and some with pages in Kadazandusun. Known generally as “the Press”, represented by the dailies, radio and television networks, it is still an important medium of mass communication today. It exists to inform, educate and entertain. It is also a powerful force that influences public opinion. Its news and views can make or break an organisation. Its stories are widely read by thousands of people in the State within hours of the happening. Despite the growth of the social media where news reaches the public within a matter of seconds, a solid block of people still support the print media.
NEWSLETTER ISSUE 02/2017 Junior Chamber International Kota Kinabalu
Publicity materials for the Press fall largely into four categories: (a) press releases; (b) photographs with captions; (c) feature articles that give focus on a special event or project; and (d) items requested by editors or reporters by way of interviews. Nowadays, such requests for comments are often conducted via email or WhatsApp on smart phones. 5. PRESS CONFERENCE Directly related to media relations, is the question of holding press conferences. The holding of press or news conferences is standard practice when a story needs amplification or explanation to a group of journalists. Before calling it, you must be sure it is worthwhile and necessary. A press conference is justified only when i) there is important news to impart which is too complicated to tell in a straight forward news release or when developments demand immediate and simultaneous announcement to the media; (ii) the situation is difficult and controversial with many questions that need to be asked; (iii) the intention is to give the members of the press an opportunity to meet face to face men making the news and asking their own supplementary questions. 6. VISUAL COMMUNICATION a) Photography – The purpose is to tell a story in pictorial form. There are times when a single photo is enough to tell a story. On other occasions, a photo or two would help illustrate and support a news item. Among the values of photos are: they can illustrate a point more graphically better than in words, as the saying goes, “a good picture tells better than a thousand words”; and they can act as an eye-catcher. b) Videography – The film is the most potent and emotionally penetrating medium of audio-visual communication. Film techniques enable feelings, impressions and information to be conveyed to the audience. Video clips on news events and excepts of speeches could easily be channeled to TV stations, online news portals and the social media. 7. TELEVISION Television, represented in Sabah chiefly by RTM (TV1 & TV2), Bernama News Network (Btv), tv3, and ntv7, is another medium of communications with the public. It is powerful in impact as it enables ideas to be seen and heard at the same time. However, TV by necessity compresses much of its material into few words and few pictures especially in news coverage. It is not often that we see news of JCI KK activities on television. Nevertheless, it can be a useful medium in PR and you should be alert to opportunities to use it. 8. AUDIO COMMUNICATION – RADIO Radio is a medium that is often neglected by JCI officials. In fact, radio producers of current affairs programmes are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to interview officials organising events. They have a special ear for upcoming events related to community service. The challenge for JCI KK is to be familiar with radio programmes and to have the ability in influencing radio producers to give coverage to its projects and activities. In addition to radio stations with national coverage, RTM also operates FM radio stations in major centres of the state, including those in Tawau, Sandakan and Keningau. Astro too has many radio stations, like the Lite FM, Era FM, Melody FM and Hitz fm.
9. EXHIBITIONS The purpose of exhibitions to our organisation is that it can show visually a range of programmes and activities backed by descriptive literature and personal explanation by our experienced Jaycee officials. We can either set up an entirely Jaycee exhibition or by participating in someone else’s show, such as a trade fair, fun fair or even a tamu besar. 10. SPECIALISED COMMUNICATION Finally, a quick word on another communication channel – the sponsorship of events. It could be in conjunction with the visit of a well-known performer or sports personality. By means of such a show, game or cultural occasion, there’s an opportunity to enhance the name and reputation of the organisation to a specialized audience. This has been another form of communication in public relations practice which JCI KK has put to good use from time to time. Here are a few tips on media relations that might help: 1. Choose the right media for the right occasion. 2. Don’t overdo with publicity. Too much and too frequent publicity, or “an overkill” situation could have negative effects. 3. Avoid wasting the time of reporters by calling them to meet you when a straight forward press release would serve the purpose. 4. Do not call the media to question why they do not publish your stories. The editors are the gate keepers, they have the right to decide what is published and what is not. Your news item could be badly presented, out of date, having insufficient facts, or was too long. 5. Your publicity should give greater focus on community projects and activities and less on what you do for members. 6. Prepare and constantly update a Media List, with hand phone numbers and email addresses. CONCLUSION Allow me to stress that the ability to communicate well is indeed a vital ingredient of a successful organisation. JCI KK has to communicate well with its members, its past officials, other JCI organisations at national, regional and international levels, and with countless government and private bodies. To provide its publics with accurate and reliable information is the first step towards gaining public support for and appreciation of an organisation. With such information, timely given, the public that it serves can then have full knowledge and understanding of JCI KK. It should be noted, however, that publicity comes only after good performance. Remembering that it is only when the organisation has been able to perform well that the action to publicize becomes timely and appropriate. All chapters should have proper public relations plans for each year aimed to get the right word in the right place so that such words will travel in the right direction. I believe you have already established goodwill with the Kota Kinabalu community that you serve. Your job now is to make a sustained effort to maintain this goodwill. My best wishes to you in handling communications with the public effectively.

NEWSLETTER ISSUE 02/2017 Junior Chamber International Kota Kinabalu
The JCI Creed The year was 1946; the place- Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A; the event- The United States Jaycees’ National Convention, with visitors from Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe and the Philippine Islands. It was against this background that the idea of a Jaycee Creed was born. Past President of the Ohio Jaycees and National Vice President of The U.S. Jaycees C William Brownfield found out at this convention that the organization did not have a Creed. He was inspired by the devotion of the Jaycees “to the purpose of serving mankind in a thousand different ways, right down at the grass roots where freedom lives or dies.” A New World Force He saw the Jaycees as “the potential for a new force in the world, one capable of changing the balance between victory and defeat for our chosen way of life in a time of crisis.” The actual writing of the Creed took place in July 1946 during a drive from Brownfield’s home town of Columbus, Ohio, to his coal mine in New Lexington, a journey of about 75 minutes. He started that journey with a firm conviction in his mind to work on the Creed, and it was during that trip that the following words came to his mind which he put on paper. The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations: Economic justice can be.st be won by free men through free enterprise. Government should be of laws rather than of men. Earth’s great treasure lies in human personality. Service to humanity is the best work of life. It was not until 1950 that the first line- “We believe that faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life” was added. Since that time to this day Jaycees all over the world recite the Creed at local, national and international meetings and functions. However, there has been much discussion about the interpretation of the Creed. The author himself said: “Every Jaycee is free to interpret the Creed in the light of his own conscience.” The following interpretation is based on Brownfield’s views and the common understanding and belief of what the Creed means to the organization. We Believe Every man must believe in some ideal, principle or philosophy. To believe is to practice what is believed to be true. That Faith in God Gives Meaning and Purpose to Human Life “God” here does not refer to any specific religious God, but to a supreme omnipotence. It does not matter who or what your God is the line is just saying that you must believe in something, Brownfield’s own interpretation is;
The Jaycee membership, drawn from many religious backgrounds, is united by a common bond of faith; that man lives by the will of (his/her) God, that God’s will for man is good; and that the life worthwhile is lived in harmony with His eternal plan. That Brotherhood of Man Transcends the Sovereignty of Nations This line breaks down all the boundaries that have been imagined by man. It simply means that all men and women are equal. It respects allegiance to one’s country, but at the same time reinforces the idea that man is a citizen of the world. Brownfield puts it this way: Man-made boundaries have been drawn and redrawn, separating the human race into many nations/ But across these unnatural divisions there has been an intercourse in art, science, commerce and religion; evidence of man’s universal brotherhood: proof that man himself, not his territorial divisions, is of basic worth. That Economic Justice Can Best Be Won by Free Men through Free Enterprise The operative words here are “can best be won.” The Jaycees believe that man should be free to use his skills and ability to the limit in improving his economy. Brownfield makes the point: Where economic improvement has been greatest man has been free to follow his dream of making a personal fortune by doing something never done before or by doing it better. He adds further clarity with the following: But the system of self-development through private enterprise could be adapted with variations to suit local conditions in many parts of the world. That Government Should Be of Laws Rather Than of Men This tenet of the Creed simply means that no man should be above the law, and that the law should be the same for all men no matter what status they may hold in society. The government must be based on constitutional law accepted and ratified by a majority of the people. The power to change laws and elect governments should remain in the hands of the majority of the people. Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, spoke of a government “of the people, for the people, and by the people.” This line of the Jaycee Creed crystalizes what President Lincoln was talking about so many decades ago. Brownfield articulated the meaning of this tenet: In a free society the fundamental law is derived from the people. It is they who hold the final authority. That Earth’s Great Treasure Lies in Human Personality Every individual has a separate and unique personality. That is the main difference between humans and the other things in this world. That uniqueness makes the human personality earth’s great treasure. It cannot be duplicated nor can it be made;
NEWSLETTER ISSUE 02/2017 Junior Chamber International Kota Kinabalu
Brownfield’s views on this line are: True treasure lies in the hearts of men. There is about us a vast field of opportunity for cultivation of the human personality. It is neither the quantity nor the length of life that gives it zest, but the quality of living, the achievement we make in terms of human progress. And that service to humanity is the best work of life This, the final tenet of the Jaycee Creed, is a logical culmination to the preceding lines. A person who believes in the Creed will most definitely find service to humanity the best work of life. Note the word humanity, not just friends and family. Brownfield’s interpretation to these concluding lines of his Creed is: The life lived unselfishly grows richer, deeper and fuller. Joy is more enduring and peace of mind, more certain. The world looks at the contribution such a life has made and marks the one who lived it as a benefactor of the race; yet he knows in truth the greater benefit has been his own. No matter what a member’s interpretation of the Creed may be, he should always practice what he believes. Many unsuccessful attempts have been made to change the Creed, but it has prevailed through the years. It continues to exist as the covenant that holds the organization together. Many members have made the Creed their guide in life. Brownfield aptly summarized his interpretation of the Creed when he said: ... Only in the deed can the word become flesh!
