KUCHING, Nov 8: Lunnie Gan Siew Luen, a member of Junior Chamber International (JCI) Kuching, has made Sarawak proud by becoming the first representative from the region to engage in the JCI World Congress 2023 debate competition to be held in Zurich, Switzerland this month.
Scheduled from Nov 14 to 18, the JCI World Congress in Zurich will bring together approximately 3,500 JCI members from around the world, fostering the exchange of innovative ideas in business and society.
Securing a place on the global stage is a formidable accomplishment as participants must triumph in competitions at the State-level as well as progress through national and Asia Pacific stages before earning the right to compete globally.
During a ceremony at Kuching South City Council (MBKS) today, mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng presented Gan with the Sarawak flag, signifying the city’s unity and unyielding support for her achievements.
“The Sarawak flag embodies the unity and unwavering support of the entire city for her remarkable endeavour,” Wee expressed in a media release.
Hailing from the vibrant community of JCI Kuching, Gan has actively engaged in debating and public speaking competitions since her school days. Her journey, characterised by resilience and passion, has led her to this prestigious global platform.
Expressing her gratitude for the support from the community, Gan pledged to represent Sarawak and Kuching with honour and distinction on the international stage. — DayakDaily
