Toastmasters’ Club of Singapore is the first toastmasters club in Singapore.

The history of Toastmasters’ training is as old as the history of Singapore’s path towards self-determination and independence. Founded in 1959 the Toastmasters’ Club of Singapore went into a ‘recession’ a few years later. Revived in 1967, the Club pulsates with vigour gaining members from all different fields of professions, trades and interests.
