Convoy 1 Malaysia 1 Telugu
On the labour day,Telugu Association of Malaysia (Youth) organised Convoy 1 Malaysia 1 Telugu event from TSN Sg Choh, Rawang to Genting Highlands. Almost 200 Telugu youths gathered and the Guest of honour was the newly elected YB P Kamalanathan MP for Hulu Selangor cum MIC information /Putera chief .In his key note address, YB thanked the Telugus for all help and cooperation rendered towards his winning and he assured the meeting that he would take up TSN Cultural centre issue to high authority for up-grading/ funding.
Flag-off ceremony was by Guest of Honour YB P Kamalanathan and Dr Achiah Kumar Rao. The route was from TSN via Batu Caves to Genting Highlands. It is two days event which included Volley ball, Ballon breaking, temple gathering,debate, motivational talk and feedback.
Though Andhra Association of Malaya which is now known as TAM was established in 1955 but Youth and Mahila sections were only formed about 8 years ago. And this was allowed when Sri B Murthy then the President and I was the Secretary General of TAM.
And it was the very first time that Sri B. Murthy also appointed both the youth and mahila leaders as Vice Presidents of TAM as provided in the Rule 16 of our TAM Constitution.
Glad to note that both sections are organising a number of events and working closely with TAM HQ. Keep up the good job. As an old saying "Today's youth is tomorrow's Leader
