The CGMC Website has evolved

The Canning Garden Methodist Church website project was started in 2007 with the blessings of the church leadership.  The pastor then was Ps. Ashok.  We engaged Exabyte to host the webpages on 6th April 2007 and chose www.cgmcipoh.org as our web address.  

I was introduced to a content management system (CMS) using the Joomla engine by Bro. Michael Khor. We both worked at it for a few weeks and presto the church website was born.  


This banner, with the church theme then, was created with Corel Painter.  


This logo was plucked off from a church bulletin. 

Sometime in April 2011 a decision was made to handover the website to the church administration for better control and efficiency. I was greatly relieved because I could not keep up with the very many church events and developments which needed to be posted.  Sis Lee Chui Chong helped to manage the website from the church office.

The website is now under the administration of Bro. Abel How our church youth leader.  I strongly believe it will be more attractive and relevant as he will be able to post the latest church news as soon as they arrive.  I had the opportunity to review the new webpages recently and find them very tastefully done using the WordPress engine.  Well done Bro. Abel!  Keep it up for Him.

Leong Sin Nam Memorial 2015

Every year, on the 19th January, the Perak Kaying Association will celebrate the life of Leong Sin Nam via a traditional Chinese ceremony at his tomb and  a memorial dinner at the Association hall. My grandfather passed away in Port Dickson on the 19th January 1940.

This year is different because my mother is not present.  She had always enjoyed the company of her old friends with stories of old and laughter that would cheer everyone present.

Leong Sin Nam was a staunch advocate of education for all be it in the Chinese or English language. Following his footstep his children had donated generously to uplift various schools. The YN Leong Education Trust was set up in 2003 to honor my father whom most of his friends called him Yeow Nyean (YN).  He was the 3rd son of Leong Sin Nam.

Tonight the Trust donated to SJK (C) Min Tet, Shen Jai High School, Perak Kaying Association and the Leong Si Realty Sdn. Bhd. The Trust is currently planning to hold Leadership Classes for the 5th and 6th Formers with emphasis on mentorship to produce the next generation of honest, trustworthy and charitable leaders.
