Y. BHG. DATO SERI YEOP JUNIOR BIN HAJI ADLAN SPMP, DPMP, PJN, PMP, JP, PJK YBhg. Dato’ Yeop Jr. served TNC with distinction over a long period in various portfolios. Dato’ Yeop Jr, as he is popularly known around the club, became a club member in the 1970’s. As a Malaysian Civil servant, he was an officer in the Taiping Council, where he headed an important department, and where he was well respected as a department head, leading his staff skillfully and efficiently. It was inevitable that he used some of these management skills when Yeop Jr. took up various voluntary positions in the running of The New Club, all for the betterment of the members. Dato’ Yeop Jr loves the royal and ancient game of golf and it was in the golf environment that he excelled. He was appointed Golf Captain from 1986 -1991.and he took his responsibilities as golf captain efficiently and seriously. He was responsible for several tweaking of the golf course so as to make it more challenging. The two most notable contributions from Yeop were the construction of the 5 th hole and the 6 th hole. The 5 th Hole was known as the crocodile hole, named because some members swore that a crocodile was seen basking in the pond on the left side of the fairway. The 7 th Hole was not for the faint-hearted – it was a short Par 3, with a sliver of water jutting into the fairway, just to intimidate the golfers. The quiet and efficient management skills he displayed while serving TNC did not go unnoticed. DYTM the Raja Muda of Perak had observed the many successful tournaments that Yeop had spearheaded. Tuanku honored Yeop by appointing him as his Chief Organizer for DYTM’s birthday Golf Tournaments. In the early 1990’s, Yeop was appointed the Orang Besar Jajahan for Batang Padang and he had to leave his beloved Taiping, where he has a host of friends. What was Batang Padang’s gain was Taiping’s loss. Today, Dato Yeop Jr. is still our Honorary Member of TNC, and he continues to keep in touch with his many Taiping friends, especially his ex-golfing buddies. Thank you Dato Seri, for your past contributions which have helped TNC to be a premier Club in this part of the country.
