PDG John Ho and the affidavit filed in November 2019

Before we go to the next collateral damage, perhaps we should check the affidavit filed by PDG John Ho in November 2019 in the case in the Disciplinary Court. We will look at the parts that concerns Dr.Arabi Wazani and our Joseph Chai (JP). 

It will implicate many others in the club too.

Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host and it’s conscience

I am writing the following to help members involved to prepare for answers when the case goes to court. I want to give a fair chance for all those concerned to make a wise decision. The club members expelled me with trumped up charges.

LCIF Screw up

                                                                By LCIF and LCI

This is part four of my response to John Ho's comments in IPP Barry Palmer's FB page.

"Have you asked IPP about LCIF matching grants; how only 50% of the project funds are granted by LCIF so that there can never be any unused LCIF funds once the project is completed; how LCIF only releases the grants to the DG of the Grant applicant District, as Grant Administrator, so LCIF obviously have no record of releasing funds to KK Host."

Comments by John Ho via Marcia Hong (Part 2)

Marcia Hong Luqman Michel , have you told IPP:

2. those statements were tabled and adopted at the 2012 AGM of KK Host and the bank accounts are in the name of the club and have been properly established and operated since 18 years ago. How can these be secret accounts?

My response: This is a blatant lie as no one other than the Past Presidents’ Council knew about these three accounts. I was director for the year 2015/2016 and I was not informed about the 3 accounts. All the directors were given treasurer’s report which consisted of the Administrative account and Project bank account held and operated by the club in Alliance bank.

Barry Palmer - Past Presidents Council’s Secret bank accounts

                                                 International Past President Barry Palmer

Here are 3 secret bank accounts operated by the Past Presidents Council. These bank accounts were never known to members until I discovered them and informed the members.

However, neither LCI, District Governors or Past District Governors have asked to examine the secret bank accounts.

Now, an International Past President (IPP), Barry Palmer has promised to investigate the matter of LCIF funds being mismanaged both by LCIF and Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host.

Lions Clubs – Lessons to be learned (Part 2)

                                            lit. an arrogant army is bound to lose (idiom)
                                                      fig. pride goes before a fall

Let us give Barry Palmer a few days to discuss matters with LCI and other IPP's. Meanwhile let us look at what lessons we can all learn from the LCKK Host screw up by LCI and PDG's.

Many of the former members of the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host have paid a high price for the arrogance of a few of the Past Presidents of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host..

Some of the Past Presidents led by John Ho became over-confident and ignored what they did not know. They became arrogant.

Quotable quotes (Part 3) – Pung Chen Choon (CCPung)

When I was still a member of the club I wrote an email to all members of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host and asked if there were more than the two bank accounts extended to the BOD. 

No member responded. Then I found out that the auditor of the accounts for year 2015/2016 was Pung Chen Choon our in-house expert on Robert Rules.

I wrote an email to him as auditor and also posted the following on Face Book and received his response as below.

The scheme

A scheme is an organized plan for doing something, 

especially dishonest or illegal that will bring a good 

result for the schemers.

Why did Arabi Wazani, CC Pung, Tan Sing Ben and Joseph Chai open the third bank account in Alliance bank when they already had two different bank accounts in Hong Leong Bank under the name Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu (without the suffix Host)?
