Vegetarianism Concept - Actually Comes from the Gandhian Principle of  Non-Violence through Speech, Thought and Action

"All lives will pray and bow down to the One who do not kill any" By Thiruvalluvar




The President of Vegetarian Society Singapore, George Jacobs, had suggested my name to the Malaysian Vegetarian Society to invite me in to give a forum. Two personalities were called upon to come forward from Singapore to give a talk. Hence, the Malaysian Vegetarian Society had invited me to give my perception of being a vegetarian and also of being a sportsman during the World/Asian Vegetarian Society Conference held in Malaysia, about 2 months ago. I was very happy to share this knowledge there. I told the people out there on the importance of Vitamin B complex and amino acid that the vegetarians need to take to offset the disadvantages of being a vegetarian.

At the same time, I gained a wealth of knowledge there when a lot of researched talks were shared during the conference. Desmond Koh was another sports personality, a prominent swimmer was chosen for this. Desmond Koh was a 3 time Olympic Swimmer from Singapore. 

It is interesting to note that Desmond has his own house turned into an organic kind of house to my amazement.

As for me, I realised that in order to perform, it is good not to kill the animals for enjoyment, other than for food. 

Hence, I would like many to consider this during Christmas so that many
animals are not killed for enjoyment.

I believe that the most important thing to do is to be more caring for the animals.

I decided to put this video for many out there to see so that they can be kind to the animals. 

George Jacobs sent me this youtube video and I am sharing this with you.
