The Toastmasters District 51 Humorous Speech Contest 2011 was held in Malacca recently. Interesting topics range from ‘I am a coward’ to ‘I did it my way’.

Contestant Moganraj Asokan from Johor Bahru said that this was his first District level contest after winning contests at his Club, Area & Division levels. He joined Toastmasters about a year ago and had gained communication and leadership skills from it.
