The newspaper report (refer yesterday's post) also said, “the RoS letter only stated
that the club had infringed Article 7 relating to non-compliance of rules in
the appointment of club officials during the AGM ….”
Our experts on Robert’s Rules should also know that there
may also be articles which relate to other articles. For instance let us
look at Article 8 of the Societies Act.
Certificate of registration8. The registrar, on registering a local society under section 7, shall issue to the society a certificate of registration in the prescribed form, and that certificate unless proved to have been cancelled shall be conclusive evidence for all purposes that the society has been duly registered under this act.
Where is the certificate that says Lions Club of Kota
Kinabalu Host was registered under the act?
Would having operated under a name that had not been
approved by the Registrar be construed as an illegal club/society?
What is the fine for running an illegal club?
Why did none of the members of the club look into my
complaint that I could not trace the name Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host at
the ROS?
I wrote about the ordeal I went through on my first visit to
ROS. You may read it here.
I wrote to all members about the name of the club not being
in the computer system at ROS and should be updated by an officer from the club
immediately. Again, this was done many months later because of the arrogance of
some of the members.
The name of the club as Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host was
only approved on 23.11.2016 and the application for change was made by the
president of my year President Carol Lo Phit Har.
You may see the certificate of registration and the approval
of the name change here:
Would I want to say that Article 7 is purely an admin
matter?
