The History of S-JAC

As the saying goes; “Two minds think alike.” I would agree with that as with these wise words, a new club was born. It’s no ordinary club towards us accounting students as it was the first ever Accounting Club in Sunway College Johor Bahru. Thanks to our dear President and Vice President; Alagammai and Tan Wei Ling; our very own campus has its own Accounting Club. Known as Sunway Johor Accounting Club or S-JAC for short, the club has currently more than 100 members in it. It was formed on June but formally launched on July 2008. Through this club, students from the Certified Accounting Technician and Association of the Certified Chartered Accountant courses are able to come together as one united people.

The main Board of Directors were chosen by the Teacher Advisors, President and Vice President through interviews and proposals. Our previous Board of Directors had a bonding session after the launch of S-JAC in Miss Nadia’s residence. The bonding session started with a movie in City Square (Maid of Honour) and thus proceeding to Danga Bay for a walk. After that, the BOD proceed to Miss Nadia’s residence, while stopping by at some shopping centers to get the basic necessities for the barbecue at night. At Miss Nadia’s residence, the BOD helped each other to prepare for the barbecue. Our Vice Principal of Sunway College Johor Bahru, Miss Wong was also present during this event.

Our first event for the members was the Barbecue Night held mainly in the campus itself on 27th July 2008. Approximately 50 members were present and had a wonderful time. There were games, getting to know each other and of course, food. (How can anyone forget that?) The BOD has also a little surprise for our Teacher Advisor, Miss Nadia. As her birthday falls at the end of the month, the BOD decided to throw a small surprise for her. A short video clip was played and part of the BOD brought a cake out from the front.

The next particular event was the S-JAC Funfair which was held during the SOS Earth event. Dated on 21st September 2008, booths were opened by other clubs from S-JAC. There were scrumptious food, drinks, games stall and not to forget our very own Target Shooting booth organized by S-JAC. Approximately RM 900 was raised and this money was donated by S-JAC to Life Link Orphanage. Here’s a big THANK YOU to all those clubs participated to make the funfair a HUGE success.

These is the history of S-JAC. Year 2008 was a very good year for our club as we managed to organize and complete many events. As we proceed to a new year, we in S-JAC, would like to give our heartiest THANK YOU to our previous Board of Directors, particularly to our ex-Treasurer, Dinega for all her hard work done in this club.

Therefore, SUPPORT US AT S-JAC!!!
