Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host - Dr.Arabi Wazani - Collateral damage

Now let us look at the collateral damages.

For complete understanding do read my earlier post. 

       1. Dr.Arabi Wazani:

It was in his year as president in 2000 that Dr. Arabi proposed a ‘Visionary idea’ of forming the Past Presidents’ council. (The word ‘visionary idea’ is from the book commemorating the 50^th Anniversary). I am not sure if this is an imported idea from the Middle East or Jordan where I believe he comes from.

I would like to find out from him why the office lot purchased at RM140,000 in 1999 was not recorded in the ROS records. 

Why was the office lot never recorded as an asset of the club? He has been treasurer a number of times since he became president in the year 2000. 

An amount of Rm2,000 was collected from a few past presidents. Where was this amount credited? I was told by one of the Past Presidents, Lion Jessie Chong, that the bulk of the money for purchasing the office lot came from excess funds from projects.

Is it allowed by Lions Club International for excess funds to be used for administrative purposes? I don't think so.

Dr. Arabi Wazani, is an expert on rules and regulations of LCI and it would be nice of him to answer some of these questions. The Lions Book published to commemorate the 50^th Anniversary states that Dr.Arabi Wazani was one of the main players.

No other club has its own club office lot. If  LCKK Host can buy an office lot from excess funds then why not the other clubs?

Dr.Arabi was also one of 4 persons to open the third bank account in Alliance bank. This bank account was never recorded nor shown in the Club accounts. It was never recorded in the records of ROS. Was it his idea not to show it to members or was it a joint idea with John Ho and other key members of the club?

How did Dr. Arabi Wazani open a bank account in Alliance Bank under the name ‘Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host’ when there was no Certificate of Registration under that name from ROS. ROS only approved that name in November 2016. 

None of the members other than a few privileged members knew how money in the ‘secret’ third bank account was utilised.
