Finally, Our 2020 Theme

It took us nineteen days to discuss, develop and agree on the World Speech Day theme for 2020: 

Let’s speak on it – Transformation.

BTW, the speech shall be between 2 to 5 minutes long.

Bigger and Better

We can tell you that next year’s edition of World Speech Day is bigger and better! 

But don’t take our word for it! 

Registration opens on January 02, 2020!

Cuteness Overload at World Speech Day

Children are an integral part of World Speech Day here in Kuala Lumpur. 

The children from Balsans Creative Kidz had participated in WSD 2019 and I have received indication that they will join us again in 2020!

We can all expect cuteness overload!

Speak in Bahasa Malaysia

At World Speech Day, you may speak in any language (and dialect) you wish because when it comes to speaking – it’s not the language, but the message that’s important. 

At World Speech Day, we embrace ‘unexpected voices’! 

And as Malaysians, it's even better if you speak in the national language! 

Please join us on Sunday, March 15, 2020 and speak to the world!

A Date with Us in Melaka

Keep a date with us in Melaka on March 15, 2020. 

That’s because we will be celebrating World Speech Day there. Besides, Kuala Lumpur and Penang. 

CV+ are joining hands with World Speech Day (Singapore) to bring this public speaking event to historic Melaka. A chance for you to speak and get your voice heard! 

After all, Mohammed Qahtani, 2015 Toastmasters’ Public Speaking champion – I met him in Penang in May 2017 – has this to say: “Words have power, words are power, words could be your power”. 

Pick the city where you wish to speak – and be there on this day of speeches and speechmaking. Sunday, March 15, 2020.

Targeting the Filipino Community

This year, at World Speech Day, we saw 8 Filipinos resident in Malaysia taking part in our inaugural event in Kuala Lumpur. 

In recognition of that, I have developed 2 posters especially targeted to this community. Certainly, I am hoping even more Filipinos will take part in next year’s edition of World Speech Day!

Likewise for WSD Malaysia

And I should do the same for WSD Malaysia too:

Two More for WSD Singapore & Mongolia

Two more to add to the collection for WSD Singapore and WSD Mongolia:

WSD Singapore and WSD Mongolia

On the spur of the moment, I had created four additional WSD posters. 

One for World Speech Day Singapore and the other for World Speech Day Mongolia.

The Mongolia posters are for Ganchimeg Zagdaa, a good friend who is also a Toastmaster in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I had fortuitously met her when I was in Singapore in March this year when Cyril Jonas and I traveled there to meet the people of World Speech Day (Singapore).

We're all Toastmasters and we're involved in this exciting event called World Speech Day, a day that is truly dedicated to public speaking.

WSD: A Speaking Phenomenon

A global event. A day that brings you speeches and speechmaking.

Yes, March 15 is World Speech Day and it is celebrated in towns and cities in 103 countries.

In 2020, Malaysia itself will witness this speaking phenomenon. In three locations. In Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Melaka. 

Since this year, Malaysians have embraced this public speaking occasion – with eagerness, enthusiasm and excitement. 

Speak because it improves upon the silence. Speak because the heart tells you to. Speak because it empowers.

May I strongly suggest you to mark this date on your calendar – so you too can experience this once-a-year event?

More WSD Posters

This week's set of WSD posters builds even more awareness for World Speech Day!

So, kindly keep Sunday, MARCH 15, 2020 free! Let us hear your voice! And share it with the world!

World Speech Day is a public speaking event that spans the globe. Be a part of it.
