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).
As for the misappropriation of funds meant for the needy, I have told you that I do not believe this is a matter for CDRP and yet I prepared documents, as suggested by you, and presented them to DG Eve Wong in the presence of President Chong Tshen Vui of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu City Park. Eve Wong refused to accept the money. I believe it is because most of the DG’s and PDG’s are not familiar with dealing with CDRP.
ROS does not appear to be interested in mismanagement or fraud committed by Lions Clubs. I believe it should be dealt with by the District Governor.
There is now enough evidence that there were 3 secret bank accounts operated by the Past Presidents Council.
My question to you is whether you are going to take action against the culprits responsible for this devious method used to misappropriate money meant for the needy or are you going to do nothing about it.
Now, here are further evidence of the falsification of records and manipulation of accounts by the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host.
I have certified copies of records from ROS on these matters.
I shall highlight a few of them and discuss the rest another day so that you will not be overwhelmed by the evidences.
The office building was bought at a cost of RM 140,000 in 1999. Part of this cost was defrayed by excess project funds.
The office lot was not disclosed in the accounts filed with ROS.
As per the ROS certified records that are in my possession the accounts for the year 2015 showed the following:
Accounts 2015:
A. Fixed Assets
a. Building – RM0.00
g. Furniture and fixtures – RM0.00
B. Current Assets
Amount at bank – RM 12,730.98
Total Assets RM 12, 730.98
For 2016:
Assets:
Fixed Assets
Building RM100.00
Furniture and Fittings RM1.00
Current Assets
Amount at Bank: RM 57,843. 49
Fixed Deposit: RM 69, 213.65
Total Assets: RM 127, 158. 65
Now, you tell me, whose job is it to investigate this and take action against the culprits.
Is this American Accounting that Lions Clubs are following? This accounting system is unfamiliar to me.
I worked in Ernst and Young and I did not learn that a building bought in 1999 for RM 140,000 can have a book value of RM 100.00 in 2016.
Why was the building never shown in the accounts until 2016?
If a building was bought at RM140,000.00 in 1999 should there not be an equivalent amount under the credit section? Where was/is this reflected?
There was no amount under Furniture and Fittings in 2015. How was an amount of RM1.00 recorded under Furniture and Fittings in 2016?
Where did the fixed deposit of RM 69,213.65 come from in 2016 when there was none in 2015?
Should not there be a credit for a similar amount somewhere?
How did the bank balance in 2015 at RM 12,730.98 increase to RM 57,843.49 in 2016?
