History

Three avid Toastmasters gathered to form a club to call their own in the heart of metropolitan Kuala Lumpur in late 1988. Mr. Francis Wong became its inaugural President with Mr. KL Ng and Mr. Yee Kim Foong acting as club sponsors. Metro KL was chartered on 17 July 1989 and designated Club No. 7607 by the World Headquarters of Toastmasters International.

Realizing that people are more willing to "open up" when they are comfortable, Metro KL strives to maintain a club environment that is cozy, friendly and conducive to learning, sharing and improving our communication and leadership skills. These unique features have kept Metro KL going through the years and into the new millennium, drawing members from all walks of life.

Initially holding its meetings at the old Regent Hotel that subsequently changed name to the now Park Royal Hotel in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, Metrol KL shifted its meeting venue to Vistana Hotel, off Jalan Pekeliling in the late nineties. The meeting is now held at Edufly Aviation Academy, 5th Floor Wisma Naza, 12 Jalan Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur since 2014.
