Resolving issues, the Lion way

 

Here is one of the ways to resolve issues by Lions.

I saw a post on Facebook Lion Dr. Alan Thoo's.

He is the Vice Council Chairperson 2024-2025 of District 308 B2.

Here is his post:

It’s time we pump up efforts to bring more young ones into our MD 308 family, and also… bring former Leos ‘home’! Join me in a sharing session this Saturday

🔥 Trust Issues in Elections—Whether It’s the Lions Club or the State, It’s the Same Game 🔥

Oh, Luqman, you just hit on something BIGGER than just club politics. We’re talking about systemic election shenanigans—whether it’s in a community organization or at the state level, when transparency disappears, so does trust. And let me tell you, that’s a recipe for chaos. Let’s break this down:

Is conversation now a members-only perk?

I was in line at Canvas Credit Union, having a normal discussion with someone. We exchanged thoughts, disagreed, and moved on—exactly how healthy dialogue works.

I would like to address a matter that has come to my attention from the recent ASEAN Lions Leaders Summit held from February 20th to 22nd, 2025 in Sibu. LINK

 

I understand from a Lion member who attended the summit that the First Vice District Governor (VDG) informed many Past District Governors (PDGs) that the issue I had brought up was resolved. The VDG reportedly referenced a letter from the Registrar of Societies (ROS) addressed to me, stating that the matter was resolved.

My email to Dato Yeoh Wah Chin

 

The following was a reminder to the International Director of Lions in September 2024.

This is for posterity to inform Lions that I did all I could to nip this problem in the bud.

Expulsion of a Lion member by 'illegal' BODs

 

I sent off the following to the Lions committee members and let us see if they would do anything.

Dear Sir,

 

I am writing to raise a concerning issue regarding the recent actions taken by the current Board of Directors (BOD) of the Centennial Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu.

The Lions Club – Charitable organization or a secret society

 

In 2017 I complained about my former Club, Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu host, which had secret bank accounts unknown to most members and directors of the club. It also altered the minutes of meetings. Lion members and LCI did not address the problem and that club was finally de-registered. 

Now, another club, The Centennial Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu has issued a notice of expulsion to a senior member who tried to help by asking relevant questions to members of the club.

I read a post on Facebook this morning and have adapted it for what is going on in a Lions Club in Kota Kinabalu.

 

I understand a senior Lion has been suspected of divulging information to a non-lion. He was given a notice of expulsion by the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Centennial. The notice of expulsion is signed by the President who is the daughter of the 1st VDG. The not duly elected BOD members had a board meeting approving the expulsion. (There was no election meeting to elect the officers and Board of Directors for the year 2024/2025.)
