The creative idea was inspired by the strokes of Chinese characters that were shaped into an illustration. Adopting a similar concept, Gan came out with the design using the theme of the Lions Club of Kajang.

“We always encourage our students not only to attend to studies in the classrooms but also participate in activities and competitions. I would like to congratulate the winners for their achievement. Their creativity is now immortalised in the pin design,” said Dr Tneh in his welcome remarks. He also thanked the Lions Club of Kajang for the opportunity given to the students to unleash their talent and creativity.

“Born in 2017, the Lions Club of Kajang had always looked for a symbol to represent the club. After looking at the designs, I had a tough decision to make as the designs were as good as professional and commercial designers. Upon choosing the design, we have decided to use it as the symbol to represent the Lions Club of Kajang and we would carry it when we attend conventions, seminars, and also international trips,” said Lim.

Lim also shared his thoughts on every winning design, reflecting his intricate take on every design
