Salam to all,
Just to update you on the results of the MARTS AGM held at Ipoh on 29 November 2009.
Sad to say that the annual report was not tabled. Notes on SIG (special interest groups) were circulated and generally no comments were made on the SIG write up. Kudos to them for taking the time to put pen to paper and printing it for circulation.
The accounts were tabled and numerous queries were raised but to me personally it was all above board except perhaps the amount spent on the National Link, but then, it is something for the new Council members to think about.
For your information, the Honorary Secretary is and was incommunicado (as stated by the President) and hence the lack of the annual report and the information data base.
For your information the election to the Council raised some interesting insights, which I will share with you -
(a) Not everyone seems keen to sit on the Council, as evidenced by the lack of nominations. According to the President , no written nominations were received. (I am guilty of not submitting)
(b) Despite all the criticisms thrown at the Council, no one is prepared to take up the baton (well except for 9W2GL and me) and do the necessary for the betterment of the Society.
Anyway, that is my personal view - members in benefit may have some issues with it as there are commitments and committments.
The line up for the term until the next election AGM in 2011 is:-
President - 9W2GL Wan Morhisham Mokhtar
Interim Secretary - 9M2CJ - Thiam Ming
Interim Treasurer - 9M2NCL - Andre Ng
Members - 9W2AA, 9W2LL, 9W2XYZ, 9W2CP, 9W2CW and 9w2SBS.
The reason for the interim status of the Secretary and Treasurer is that for purposes on getting the hand over done as soon as possible.
The President will call for a Council Meeting to set up the Bureau's and the allocation of responsibility and importantly the setting of individual council members Key Performance Indicators leading to Key Result Areas.
So members of the Amateur Radio community - lend us your hands and your support so that we can make the Society relevant to the community as a whole and take the lead in providing for the members.

congratulation to all that has been elected. looking forward to see a betterment for HAM radio in Malaysia. congrat again from me 9w2acy.
First of all , I would like to congratulate the new office bearers.
The task ahead of them is not easy.
MARTS image , membership and financial situation have dropped tremendously during the last few years.It is up to this council to draw plans to reverse the situation.They cant do it alone. They need members to help and guide them.
I hope they have sincerely take up the post for the betterment of MARTS and no other personal agenda.
So let us give them the support and hope the future of MARTS is
elevated to what it was many years ago.
Happy working.
Rashid 9m2rs
