Rotaract Club of Kota Melaka: Success story of Hunt 4 Fun+D

Reported by FueYin

The night before the hunt was a nightmare... I guess many organizing committee did not manage to sleep. All were praying for a good weather the next day. However, the sound of the loud thunder woke me up 4am. Oh gosh! Dare not to think about Plan B that we do not have. At 7am, woke up and hurried to the door to check the sky. Guess our prayers worked. The rain subsided and soon the sun shine the Taming Sari area... Thank you God.

At 8.30am, 23 registered teams arrived with dictionary, thesaurus, camera and lots of enthusiasm. We were touched to see PP Kua strolling across the parking lot to join the hunt. Despite being a lone ranger, he took up the courage and became the only one representing Rotary Club of Kota Melaka.

Organizing chairperson, PP Gregory Sim, briefed on the rules and regulation and officially kicked off the hunt at 8.45am. The marshals, DRR Wee and President Eugene, cycled around the route to ensure safety and that no participants strayed too far. The hunt lasted for 3 hours and all teams adjourned to Friends Café where lunch was sponsored.

The closing ceremony was conducted where answers were revealed. 5 consolation prizes were presented by President Eugene and DRR Wee. PP Kua from Rotary Club of Kota Melaka gave away the 3 grand prizes to the winning teams. This event was successful thanks to the sponsorship given by KAJ group, PB Realty Sdn Bhd, Mamee Double Decker Distribution Sdn Bhd, TeoBros Development Sdn Bhd, Bersatu Hati Enterprise Sdn Bhd and Friends Cafe. The whole event ended at 2pm.

Following the event, the cash (RM2075) collected and the provisions bought by the participants during the hunt, being onions and baked beans, were presented to the home (Differently Able Children and Old Folks Centre, Alor Gajah, Melaka) on the same day. Thank you participants. sponsors, all members and god for the blessed weather. For without you, this hunt may not be this successful. Hope to see you again next year!
