My Face Book messages to Barry Palmer – Past International President

 

Here are messages to IPP Barry Palmer, in 2017, on messenger which were never responded to.

These are what I found while collating all the material for legal action.

Lion Club District 308A2’s disregard to Societies Act

 

The Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host was de-registered under section 13 which therefore makes it an unlawful society.

I understand, from members of the LCKKHost, that money was paid to LCI by John Ho for the year 2018/2019. I have written to LCI on this matter and waiting to hear from the legal department of LCI.

Meanwhile, since this is a local issue, I shall write to ROS after the Chinese New Year, and find out if its provisions are for show. (After CNY as there are a few more loose ends to tie up)

Sabah JP's want to be recognised as second class magistrates

 

Here is my open email to the President of MAJAPS. Read my post yesterday to better understand this email to Datuk Seri Dr. Clarence B. Malakun (Photo above).

Dear Datuk Seri Dr. Clarence Bongkos Malakun,

I read with interest an article in the daily Express as follows:

Majaps wants powers of JPs to be restored

Published on: Sunday, August 16, 2020 on the Daily Express, Sabah.

Here are some extracts:

“We are trying to get the federal ministry of law to give a circular directing all federal government departments in Sabah to recognise the signature of JPs.

“If that cannot be done, then maybe it will have to be done in the Parliament to enhance the JPs’ powers in Sabah,” said Majaps President Datuk Seri Dr Clarence Bongkos Malakun

“Actually we want Sabah JPs’ signatures to be recognised…the RTD no longer recognises our signatures. It is embarrassing for us to be made JPs but can’t do anything,” he said.

Malakun added that the powers of JPs in the peninsula were quite clear.

“We want actually to be recognised as a second class magistrate,” he said.

Open letter to LCI (Part 4) LCI flouting its constitution

 

The following is my email written to Mr. David Kingsbury of LCI, Administration Division, Finance Division, The President of LCI on 21.1.2021.

Dear Mr. David Kingsbury,

My emails to The Sabah Council of the Justices of the Peace (MAJAPS)

 

I read an article in the daily express dated 16.8.2020 and it reminded me of my emails to the MAJAPS president in 2017.

I intend to write another email to MAJAPS but here is a reply from MAJAPS to my emails in 2017 and my response to its email which was not responded to. Without this background information my intended email to MAJAPS will not make sense. 

Are Lions what they portray themselves to be?

 

Here are extracts from the Lions Handbook (indented) and my comments. Response from any Lion or anyone for that matter is welcome.

For those who do not have time, at least please read the sentences highlighted in red.

LIons Club International's response to my email dated 6.1.2021

 

The following is the response from LCI Legal Division to my email dated 6.1.2021 which you can read here.

       https://myclubexperiences.blogspot.com/2021/01/open-letter-to-lions-club-international_6.html

 

The key sentence in the reply from LCI is, ‘Should formal charges or a formal indictment be issued, LCI may consider taking action at that time.’

The above is what LCI says but does the exact opposite.

We shall examine this in the near future.

A blast from the Past (Part 3) - why the club was reinstated

 

On 28.6.2018, the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host wrote to the Minister of Home Affairs to appeal against the deregistration of the club.

On 2.11.2018 Originating summons with John Ho and Francis Liew as plaintiffs were filed against the Registrar of Societies. The summons was supported by affidavits of John Ho and Francis Liew who affirmed in their capacity as Past President and a former secretary of Lions club of Kota Kinabalu Host respectively.

A Blast from the Past (Part 2)

 

I am in the process of collating information for my legal case against my former club. I am going through my emails and looking for information to include in my affidavits. 

When the president of my club, Past President Carol Lo Phit Hah, asked for information on 100% attendance pin I wrote to PDG Bill Keller who replied me promptly and I provided the response to my club which was the beginning of my ordeals with PDG John Ho.

However, there was no response to a subsequent email, copied below, to PDG Bill Keller. 

A blast from the past (Part 1)

 

This is for all new readers of my posts. This is to show that I have tried my best to resolve matters with my former club before deciding that I have no choice but to take legal action.

Open letter to Lions Club International (Part 3) Fraud

 

Falsification of recording in Registrar of Societies records by Lions of Kota Kinabalu Host.

I refer to your response dated 4.1.2017 wherein you had stated the following:

In the event an issue causes concern as to whether a respective club is compliant with local laws, registrations and filings, a complaint may be filed under the Club Dispute Resolution Procedure (CDRP).

As the club was non-compliant with local laws the club was deregistered by ROS.

The local law that was contravened was the inclusion of an illegal Past Presidents’ Council that was not registered with Registrar of Societies (ROS). 

Open Email to Lions International (Part 2)

Lions – Club Dispute Resolution Procedure (CDRP)

Dear Sir,

I refer to my email dated 13.12.2016 to you and other relevant departments in LCI.

Let me ask you a hypothetical question.

Assuming I am not a Lion’s Club member but have solid evidence that a Lion Club has bank accounts (similar to Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host) where money is siphoned out and I complain to you, are you going to ask me to file a complaint under CDRP?

If you did that, I would ask you to go fly a kite. Why would any sane human being pay you USD 50 to inform you of a crime committed as was done by my former club.

I think you should look into this aspect and make some amendments so that the public may freely complain to you of similar misappropriation.

Right now it appears that Lions International is only interested in making money and don’t care a hoot if individual clubs misappropriate money meant for the needy.

Here is an extract from the internet found here.

All disputes arising between any member or members, or a former member or members, and the club, or any officer on the board of the club, relative to membership, or the interpretation, breach of, or  application  of  the  club’s  constitution  and  by-laws,  or  the  expulsion  of  any  member from the club, or any other internal Lions club matter whatsoever which cannot be satisfactorily resolved through other means, shall be settled by dispute resolution. All parties to any dispute subject to this procedure shall not pursue administrative or judicial actions during this dispute resolution process.

Lions in District 308A2 are recommended to read and familiarise on how to handle disputes. I don’t believe Eve Wong knew what to do.

Open letter to Lions Club International

 

3.1.2021

Dear sirs,

I refer to the several emails I have sent to you since December 2016.

In January 2017 David Kingsbury of Legal Division of Lions International said in his email to me that ‘all Lions clubs are autonomous, meaning each club is responsible for day to day operations, including compliance with local laws.’

 

More background information of Lions Club's misappropriation of funds.

 

The indented statements are extracts from the Daily Express report on 12.1.2017.

 

The Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host claims it responded within 24 hours upon receiving a show cause letter from the Registrar of Societies on issues it believes “were purely administrative and do not warrant deregistration”
