Announcement

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and notices from various government agencies including Malaysian ROS which barred all organisations from holding any events, including meetings between now and June 30, DISTAS and all related events are CANCELLED.

Alternate methods for training of the incoming club officers is being considered. Details will be shared when available.

Refunds for DISTAS registration, welcome dinner and banquet tickets, hotel booking and airfare for those who have registered are being worked out as the process will take some time. Please bear with me and thank you for your understanding and patience.
