World Speech Day 2024 Kuala Lumpur

On Friday, March 15, we had our World Speech Day 2024 Kuala Lumpur live speaking event. This is our sixth year and we're looking at more years!

As is usual, we assembled at YMCA Kuala Lumpur and we witnessed speakers of varying ages speaking on a myriad of topics. As is usual, the speeches were interesting, invigorating and illuminating.

Kindly check out photos which we had captured that day:

This time around, we had also invited those from outside Kuala Lumpur to participate by sending us their recorded speeches. Six speakers answered the call.

WSD 2024 Kuala Lumpur Registrations

This year, WSD 2024 Kuala Lumpur is a fairly low-key affair and we don't have a big group of participants. A total of eighteen registrations altogether.

And that's fine with us because we're not driven by numbers. We're not just a public speaking activity.

World Speech Day is an event. A once-a-year chance at public speaking. A primary platform to express your thoughts and ideas. A heaven-sent opportunity to speak because to speak is to embolden, empower and enable.
