What We Do
A Century of Service:
The Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja

Founded in 1928, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur emerged as a beacon of unity amidst Kuala Lumpur's diverse cultural landscape. With a core group of 25 members, the club quickly grew to over 80, reflecting a harmonious blend of European and Asian influences. The early days of the club were marked by a strong commitment to service and camaraderie. Weekly Rotary Lunches, a tradition that continues to this day, were held at the historic Bok House (now the W Kuala Lumpur Hotel).

Pioneering figures like Sir Andrew Caldecott and Sir Leonard David Gammans led the club, fostering a vibrant community that included prominent individuals such as the Storch brothers, Raja Tun Uda, Choo Kia Peng, Loke Choe Thye, Mungo Park, and Arumugam Viswalingam. These individuals, drawn to Rotary's principles of service above self, played a crucial role in shaping the club's legacy

history

In Kuala Lumpur's diverse cultural landscape, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur began as a symbol of unity in 1928 with 25 members, expanding to 80 members with a mix of European and Asian influences. Their focus on service and camaraderie marked the beginning of a remarkable journey.

The early pioneers of the famous club included Sir Andrew Caldecott as the first President and Sir Leonard David Gammans as the initial secretary.

In 1929, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur met at Bok House, Presently the W Kuala Lumpur Hotel. They held Rotary Lunches every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m, creating a tradition thats still on going till today. Despite a minor administrative challenge, the club's lively spirit led to the official charter reception in January 1930.

Together, they led a diverse group that included the innovative Storch brothers, Raja Tun Uda, a prominent figure in Penang, and Choo Kia Peng, a respected Federal Councillor and renowned figure in the golfing world.

The club's guests included notable figures like tin magnate Loke Choe Thye, botanist Mungo Park, and eye surgeon Arumugam Viswalingam, who were attracted to Rotary privileges and committed to community service.

Today, Project Blue Dot goes into Great Eastern KL with one clear objective — making early detection and preventive healthcare more accessible within the workplace. 🔵 Too many people in the corporate world ignore symptoms, delay check-ups, stay stressed, overworked, and assume “later” will come. That’s the dangerous part. From prostate cancer screening and hepatitis screening to wellness activations and health education, this initiative is about creating healthier workplaces before problems become bigger ones. A healthier company starts with healthier people. 🔒 Closed event for Great Eastern staff only. If your company, organisation, or corporate team is interested to conduct workplace health screenings or awareness programmes, get in touch with us. 📞 Project Blue Dot Director Rtn Pradeep Balaram +6010-881 8806 #ProjectBlueDotMY #CorporateWellness #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #RotaryKLDiRaja #WorkplaceHealth

In Memory of Rtn Horst Wippern 1941 2025 RCKLDR 1
From all members of the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja Today, we mourn the passing of one of our stalwarts — Rtn. Horst Wippern, a man whose presence, integrity, and quiet strength left an indelible mark on the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja. Horst was known to many of us as a man of principle — strict yet deeply fair, a person who carried both discipline and humour in perfect balance. Beneath his firm exterior was a warm heart and a sharp wit that often reminded us how leadership and kindness can co-exist beautifully. Many of us had the privilege of working closely with him, both in Rotary and beyond. Those who served alongside him in the KLRCF Management Committee will remember how much wisdom, structure, and dignity he brought to every discussion. He was a true Rotarian — steadfast in service, unwavering in his values, and always ready with a touch of humour that lightened even the most serious moments. His contributions to our club and to Rotary as a whole will be remembered with deep gratitude. Horst, you will be deeply missed — your friendship, your discipline, your humour, and your unwavering commitment to Rotary ideals. Your legacy will live on in the projects you shaped, the members you inspired, and the values you upheld. On behalf of all members of the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja, we offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. May your soul rest in eternal peace, dear friend and Rotarian. You served with honour, and you leave behind a legacy that will continue to inspire us all.
In Memory of Rtn Horst Wippern 1941 2025 RCKLDR
Seeing the world through the eyes of those we serve We’re not here to ask you to join. We’re here to invite you… to experience Rotary. To see the world through its eyes. Through the eyes of a father, sitting in silence, his hands trembling, his pride holding back the words he can’t say aloud: "How am I going to feed my family?" Through the tears of a mother on dialysis, her body aching, her spirit weary, but her heart clinging to one simple wish: "How do I get well enough to buy a cake for my son’s birthday?" Through the quiet despair of two parents, sitting across from each other, their unspoken fears filling the room: "How will we ever send our child to university?" Rotary doesn’t arrive with fanfare. It doesn’t shout its presence. It shows up quietly. Like a whisper in the storm. Like an answer to a prayer. We hear of the father — and we place a grass-cutting machine in his hands. Not charity, but dignity. Not a handout, but a chance to build. We meet the mother — and we give her the medicine her body needs to fight. So she can show up — not just for her son’s birthday — but for his life. We read the application of a child — a child with average grades, but a heart full of fire. And we say yes. Yes to the HELP University bursary. Yes to a future. And that night, two parents sleep a little easier, because someone finally said, "Your child deserves a chance." My friends… Rotary doesn’t just run projects. We become the answer to prayers that people are too tired… too ashamed… too broken to speak. The world may never know it was Rotary. But the universe does. So this Membership Month, we’re not asking you to sign up. We’re inviting you to remember who you truly are. The part of you that still believes in humanity. The part of you that lights up when you make someone’s burden lighter. The part of you that aches to do more — but doesn’t know how. Come. Come and see Rotary through the eyes of the father, the mother, the child, the elder. Come and see who you become when you stop chasing titles and start becoming the miracle. Because we joined Rotary to change the world — but in the end, Rotary changed us.

Introducing the Visionaries of RY2025-26 | Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja Leadership Team
He didn’t need to raise his voice. His silence carried weight. In Rotary, real leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about presence, integrity, and impact that lasts long after the applause fades. This is the story of President Dr. Alaric — the man we came to call Don Alaric, The Godfather of Service. This isn’t just a tribute video. It’s a masterclass in quiet strength, in the psychology of respect, and in what true Rotary leadership looks like when done right. 🔹 A Year Led by Presence, Not Performance In a world that rewards noise, Don Alaric chose power in restraint. He didn’t perform for attention. He delivered outcomes. This is the essence of transformational leadership — the kind that moves hearts and shifts legacies without ever needing a spotlight. From day one, his message was clear: “Let the work speak. Let the results echo.” And echo they did. 🔹 Real Service. Quiet Impact. Lasting Legacy. Under his watchful leadership, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja became a symbol of precision and purpose: 💉 100 EPO injections provided to underprivileged patients — a quiet act of medical heroism that saved lives 🎓 The bursary with HELP University, once inactive, was reborn — giving average-performing but deserving students a real shot at their dreams 👁️ Cataract surgeries restored sight — a literal return of vision and dignity for those forgotten by the system These weren’t just projects. They were acts of emotional intelligence in leadership. This is what we mean when we talk about purpose-driven strategy and community transformation through service. 🔹 The Psychology of a Don Behind the suits and still gaze was a man who understood something deeper: In Rotary, trust is currency, and humility is power. Don Alaric’s leadership didn’t rely on persuasion or position. It rested on emotional authority — a trait few understand, and even fewer embody. Every decision he made reinforced a culture of respect, inclusion, and impact without ego. He was not just a president. He was the Capo di Tutti Capi — the leader of leaders. He brought la famiglia together, reminded us of our values, and held the line when it mattered. 🔹 Why This Tribute Matters Because in an era of performative leadership and social media soundbites, Don Alaric showed us the opposite: That quiet leaders create the loudest legacies. That real influence is felt, not flaunted. And that sometimes, the most powerful leadership traits are invisible until the year is done. Grazie, Don Alaric. You walked the talk. You kept the code. And in this family of service, we will never forget your name. visit: https://https://rotarykldiraja.org #DonAlaric #RotaryLeadership #RotaryMalaysia #QuietStrength #TransformationalLeadership #EmotionalAuthority #RotaryImpact #PresidentsSwanSong #CapoDiTuttiCapi

My Dear Fellow Rotarians It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of a distinguished member of our club and district, YB Datuk Seri Kulasegaran Sabaratnam who left us on 29th May 2025 at the ripe old age of 88 years. DS Kula, as he is more fondly known, dedicated 51 years of his life to both, the local Ceylon Community as well as to Rotary and was a true friend, and brother to many within our community. His smile was always an engaging one and his ability to recollect names of not just fellow Rotarians but their spouses and their children was truly a remarkable feat. In his 5 decades of service to Rotary, he has not only touched the hearts of many with his unconditional kindness, charity and love but his boundless energy in driving every one of us who met him towards being the best version of ourselves is a true testament to the kind-hearted soul he was known for. This was reflected in his presence at most Rotary & Community events, despite being wheelchair bound, always ensured he was there to support activities and lend us his kind and gentle smile. His passion and commitment to Rotary, especially to the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja never died as his legacy lives on through the various organisations he has helmed over the last few decades and especially through his son, Rtn Rajendra, also a member of RC KL DiRaja who currently spearheads the legal firm DS Kula established and is always seen by his side ensuring DS Kula welfare is taken care of. His long commitment to Rotary is nothing but legendary, having served in various positions in the club and district, including but not limited to :- RC KL DiRaja President (1998/1999) District Int. Relation Committee Chair 2001 - 2003 Asst. Governor 2002 - 2003 ASEAN Rotary Friendship Committee Chair 2003 - 2004 District Centennial Committee Chair 2003 - 2004 Rotavision Deputy Chair 2002 - 2004 RI Prevention of Blindness Rotary Action Group Director District Task Force on Avoidable Blindness Committee Chair 2003 - 2007 Hon. Sec. RI Rotary Action Group for Prevention of Drug Abuse Dir. RI Action Group on Blindness Prevention 2014 - 2016 D3300 Chair Action on Blindness Prevention Let us come together to honour DS Kula's memory and celebrate his life and please keep DS Kula's family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this profound loss. President Dr. Alaric Nathan Rotary Club Kuala Lumpur DiRaja RY2024/2025
Loving Memory of YB Dato’ Seri Kulasegaran Sabaratnam | A Life of Service and Fellowship
On 21 May 2025, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja launched a humanitarian initiative that will deliver free erythropoietin injections to 300 End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) patients from Malaysia’s B40 community — a project grounded in dignity, compassion, and international collaboration. This highlight video captures the spirit, grace, and collective heart that made the launch unforgettable. Graced by YAM Tunku Puteri Johor, sister to His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and supported by leaders from across the Rotary world, the event marked the beginning of a life-saving journey for patients who previously had little hope of affording this essential treatment. From heartfelt speeches to symbolic moments of unity, this video showcases the power of what happens when service goes beyond self, and compassion becomes action. 🎥 Highlights include: Royal guest of honour’s presence Project launch moment Rotary leaders and Paul Harris Fellows Behind-the-scenes camaraderie and commitment Together, we are proving that Rotary changes lives — quietly, powerfully, and with love.

A Lifeline of Hope: Rotary Launches Erythropoietin Project for 300 ESKD Patients
There are evenings that simply conclude. And then there are evenings that initiate a movement, one that reaches beyond the ballroom and into the bloodstream of a nation’s healthcare crisis. On 21 May 2025, the Hotel Royal Signature Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur did not just play host to a Rotary event. It became the symbolic launchpad for a medical relief mission that will deliver dignity and survival to 300 Malaysians silently battling End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). A Room Filled with Presence and Purpose More than 70 Rotarians, community leaders, healthcare partners, and distinguished guests were in attendance. But what filled the room even more than people was something harder to name — a shared, silent conviction. The room held: Compassion Collective intent And an unspoken promise: that no one deserving of care would be left behind The moment YAM Tunku Puteri Johor, Tunku Puteri Dr. Kamariah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah — sister to His Majesty, The Yang di-Pertuan Agong — entered the room, there was a palpable stillness. Not silence from formality. But silence born from deep respect. From alignment between leadership and empathy. From the understanding that true service does not need applause. Also present were District Governor Rtn. Arvind Kumar, PDG Bhaskaran, and PDG Leslie Salehuddin — leaders whose presence underscored Rotary’s enduring commitment to humanitarian impact, health equity, and dignified care. The Challenge: When Health Is a Luxury Across Malaysia, thousands of dialysis patients from low-income (B40) households live in the shadow of an impossible choice. They fight through: Weekly dialysis treatments Chronic fatigue caused by low haemoglobin The risk of infection, transfusion dependency, and declining quality of life One of the most effective treatments — erythropoietin injections — remains out of reach for many due to cost. This project is the bridge between need and access. With over RM500,000 raised, funded through a Rotary International Global Grant, with support from: Rotary Club Seokmun and District 3620 (Republic of Korea) Rotary Club Taipei Southgate and District 3481 (Taiwan) Yayasan Sultan Iskandar Johor — this humanitarian healthcare initiative will provide 8 to 12 injections monthly to 300 ESKD patients across Peninsular Malaysia, free of charge, for up to 18 months. This is sustainable patient care, not a one-time donation. This is Rotary at its best — where action meets empathy, and resources meet results. Stories Behind the Numbers Behind every data point lies a human story: A father regaining the strength to return to work A mother who no longer skips meals to pay for medicine A grandfather who will now live to attend his granddaughter’s wedding This isn’t just a medical outreach project. It’s an initiative grounded in equity, inclusion, and compassionate healthcare delivery. The Power of Quiet Leadership This initiative was made possible not by grand gestures, but by deliberate, humble giving. 16 Rotarians stepped forward to become Paul Harris Fellows, each contributing USD 1,000 Mr. Hardave Singh, a private citizen, made a pivotal personal contribution of RM100,000 Medical experts volunteered to monitor patient outcomes, ensuring compliance with Ministry of Health protocols Leading this mission were President Dr. Alaric Nathan, Project Chair Dr. Jaideep Singh, and PDG Dato’ Jimmy Lim — each playing distinct roles in mobilizing international cooperation, logistics, and execution. It’s proof that when Rotary clubs collaborate across borders, real systems of care emerge. The Launch Moment: Unspoken Emotion When the Rotary bell rang to signal the official launch, something shifted. There was no thunderous applause. No speeches rushed to conclusion. Just a quiet stillness. A kind of collective pause. As if everyone in the room — Rotarian or guest — had realised that we were not just launching a project. We were helping rewrite the story of 300 lives. A Testament to What Rotary Truly Is Rotary isn’t just about meetings, banners, or service hours. It’s about the cumulative power of community-led healthcare, service, and solidarity. This project may never make national headlines. But for 300 families in Malaysia, it is the only headline that matters. We may never know their names. But we will feel their stories — in every breath they take that would’ve been a struggle, now turned into strength. Join the Movement of Silent Impact Whether you are a fellow Rotarian, a healthcare professional, policymaker, or a compassionate citizen — this project stands as a blueprint for healthcare justice through collaborative service.
