A big THANK YOU to all those who kindly gave donations, our sponsors, advertisers and supporters.

The KELAB PUTERI LANGKAWI CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT, to raise funds for the children’s department at Langkawi General Hospital, took place at Gunung Raya Golf Resort on Saturday 2nd of August under a promising sky with the 46 golfers speeding off to their starting Tee’s at 8am. The first players were back in the clubhouse soon after noon ready for a refreshing drink and to make inroads into the buffet lunch catered for by the resort.

Twelve of our KELAB PUTERI LANGKAWI MEMBERS were at the clubhouse from 6am working with the resort staff to register the golfers and hand out the well packed goody bags and make sure that the day’s big event went smoothly. While the golfers, which included many locals, along with expat residents and tourists, were on the green the ladies then worked to sort out the winners prizes and trophies for the after lunch presentation. Speeches were made by our club president Khorshida Begum & by Mr. Lam manager of Gunung Ray Golf Resort. DJ Ray, from DJ Language Studio, kindly offered to compare for the occasion with local politician Yang Berhormat Mohammed Rawi bin Haji Abdul Hamid, Mr Lam, Tara Sundri – Kelab Puteri Event Organiser & Khorshida Begum handing over the prizes.

This event was the culmination of five months of hard work by the KELAB PUTERI LANGKAWI members who are mainly local business ladies who have now been joined by a number of ladies who have retired to Langkawi or are in transit on their sailing yachts. They all give a lot of their spare time helping the local community of Langkawi with their Charity work.

The club was established in 1992 and has no political affiliation. As well as organising many Charity Events over the years we also hold many social functions such as lunches and visits to local attractions. If you feel you have the time to give for Charity work and would like to become a member of the club the contact details are above.

Once again, Terima kasih from
Khorshida Begum
Club President and her hard working members
