UPDATE ON THE AGM

Hi Again,

I would like to inform you that the AGM proceeded without the tabling of the audited accounts and without the tabling of the Society's Annual Report for the year in issue.

The floor at the AGM passed a motion to 'severely reprimand' the National Council for failure to perform its duties in not tabling the Audited Accounts and the Annual Report. Various and numerous excuses were given but the fact remains that the National Council has failed in its duty to the members.

Let all bench warmers and dead wood resign from their respective posts though no issue with the President and Secretary as they have done all that they can to get the respective bureaus to submit their report on time. Failure by the respective bureau head to submit their reports denote either lack of respect to the President and Secretary or that no activities were done at all. Surely that should not be as we are all part of a grand old society which I am sure you know other societies would rejoice in MARTS demise and deregistration.

Most importantly the failure is a breach of trust and breach of confidence by the bureau heads. The trust that the members have shown in electing them and the confidence unduly placed on them that they will perform to their best of their abilities.

To those that may ask 'what have I done as State Manager?' - I answer 'nothing' though I am elected on the basis - I must remind you that there is no provision for the post of State Manager under MARTS constitution and thus powerless to act and powerless to do anything, hence that is why I proceed on the basis as a Liaison Officer for the members in the Greater Klang Valley to the National Council. Nothing more nothing less.

As a trained professional I must act in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Country and the Society that I belong.

73s

for God King and Country.

I did not attend the AGM due to prior engagement. Now I know why the AGM was held in Bachok... They anticipated very people to attend due to the distance . To the Coucil the lesser is better hopefully with few members attending , queries and questions will not be raised.To the person who raised this matters I would like to say thank you. You have protected members rights to know the running of the Council for the last 1 year.Lok at the repeaters in Gunong Ledang and JB. It has not been functiong for more than 9 months.A pregnant lady could have given birth by then.What happens to RKK ?. To the Council , I would like to say BUCK UP. You have got 1 more year to go.This is a voluntary appointment. If you think you cant perform dont waste other peoples time. Send in your resignation letter now. You may say you have done your best but your best is not good enough for members.
Glad to know that people have realised that MARTS have created too many high sounding posts which is not provided for in the Constitution.It is time to rectify the anomalies.. Also there is no such thing as MARTS KUALA LUMPOR & PUTRAJAYA or MARTS JOHOR etc.. There is only ONE MARTS.
If you let a cow lead you, you are also a cow.

A few days ago I met with a friend who attended the AGM. He said the financial statement was not approved due to some trivial matters.Money received were not put in the proper columns and dicrepancy of a few cents due to bank charges and foreign money exchange.This matter was brought up by a spinster memberfrom Klang .She and another estate employee has been doing this year in year out.
Being a bank employee she thinks that she is amarter than most people but when offered the Treasurers post she declined . Giving all sorts of excuses.So spinster member, I am going to nominate you for the treasuresrs post next year... If you decline again then shut up.
I would request the Council to do some write up of the AGM so that members can get a true picture what transpired at the AGM.

Ah... well penned 9W2SBS. I echo your sentiments.

Does this mean you get to smack them?


This all reeks of misappropriation of funds and CBT.


Cheerio. I cannot sign of for King and Country like you do. I am still waiting for the King to represent the minority in Malaysia. Same for the country.

What they do here in Marts is hardly Godly.

So, I will sign off with great pessimism.

I dont know if you ever heard of collective responsibility.MARTS council work as a team. If the President knows that the accounts were not audited yet and the annual report not ready, he can call off the AGM. The agenda of the AGM clearly that the accounts need to be passed and the annual report approved.Nothing to pass and nothing to approve.... no documentation. Yet he decided to proceed with the hope that members will close one eye and shut the other.Bad judgement on the part of the council members including the President..
You must be an idiot who dont understand the MARTS constituition probably you dont understand English.There ia no provision for a State Manager in the constituition.So why hold a post that is non existant. 9W2SBS will be calling a meeting to elect new
representive. If you think you are better than him, then get yourself elected... There is no glamour here.
Kalau anda tak faham bahasa Inggeris pergi Dewan Bahasa minta mereka translate.

some ppl really need to get their facts right. everyone knows that SBS was there. if you want to slam someone kindly use some brain cells (if you have any).
Anyway all Malaysian HAMs knows about MARTS so i dont think he need to promote. Anyway you cant force someone to join a club. Its a democratic country. Everybody have the right to chose which club they want to join. If want to join just sign up and give him the registration money.
anyway to those who dont have good things to say about someone, (if you guys dare) pls put up ur call sign or name. dont hide yourself using anonymous.
