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

This is a good time for this quote by Past President CCPung.

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. This was at a time when I was still a member of the club.

How the police investigation office failed in its duty

There were two major matters I had complained about:

1.       Misappropriation of funds which tantamount to criminal breach of trust

2.       Manipulation of minutes

i.                     A bank account was opened in Alliance bank by 4 people whom I understand to be

a.       Arabi Wazani

My police report 2 years ago (Part 1)

My police report 2 years ago was to the then Police Chief of Karamunsing DCP Chandra which was not responded to.

The above Police report was on 2 matters as follows:

i.                     Manipulations of minutes of meetings in my club

ii.                   Criminal Breach of Trust where club monies is used for purposes other than intended.

Lions Club- Interest/Investment of Public Funds

As at the end of 2017, The Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host had a fixed deposit of about RM70,000 which is from excess project funds accumulated over the years.

It was disclosed by Past President Joseph Chai at the 8^th BOD’s meeting that the intention is to build this amount to RM100,000 and interests received from the investment is to be used for  administrative purposes. (I have mentioned earlier that this disclosure was not recorded in the minutes.)

Lions Club - Misappropriation of funds- Proof

The above two statements in 2012 apparently were what was presented at the AGM. I won't know if it was actually presented as I was not a member. Apparently according to Marcia Hong they had convinced Bukit Aman police that this was presented at the AGM (if that was true) and as such there was no misappropriation of funds.

Letter Head

20.8.2016 Email to members

Dear Lion friends,

I write this email to get your views/comments on some, in my opinion, important matters that have transpired during the week.

I have mulled over these matters a great deal before deciding to bring them up with you.

I am not quite sure if we have any standard rules and regulations in our club. Are there rules and regulations on the day to day running of the club?

On the 14.8.2016 I asked the President if I could avail myself to some letter heads to solicit donations for some projects. He asked me to contact PP Delce to get a soft copy of the letter head.

For those who may not be aware, I am the chairman of Environment for 2016/2017 and I am a committee member of the “My Kampong” project in Monggis.

I sent off an email to PP Delce in the early morning of 15.8.2016.

I received a telephone call from our President at 9am asking me if I required the letter heads  for collecting advertisements to which I said no. He said that if it was for advertisement he had letters already pre-prepared. END OF CONVERSATION

I then received another telephone call from the President, Thomas Ho Thau Phin, at 11 am saying that it was decided that all letters are to be signed only by the President. I asked as to who decided this and he responded that it was none of my concern.

Now I have a few questions which I would appreciate some answers to, as this is our club and the Lion Movement is bigger than all of us put together.

What rules and regulations are there concerning as to who may or may not use the letter head for specific purposes?

1.       I was told that we have a special whatsapp group consisting of the directors. Should not the directors be consulted on matters such as the above instead of one or two members taking things into their own hands?

I attach herewith the email exchanges between PP Delce and myself.

I also attach the email correspondences between me as the Chairman of Environment and as committee member of Monggis Project to companies to solicit donations.

I have so far received:

1.       RM200 as a donation from a Face book friend which money was handed over to PP CC Pung.

2.       Received 42 activity books from a Public Listed Company – SP Setia and I have also handed these over to PP CC Pung.

3.       Received 8 planting kits from SP Setia and handed them over to PP CC Pung.

4.       I have received a promising letter in response to my request for donation from Hap Seng Bhd. All Hap Seng needs is a letter from us giving the details as requested. I thought we should ask for donation for the Talantang project as I believe Hap Seng will give a sizeable amount. (Note: I will not be able to sign an official letter on this project as I am not a committee member.)

Anyway, I have passed these emails to PP Delce. The President or anyone appointed by him may follow up on these matters.

Please read the attachments prior to posting any comments.

Thank you and kind regards,

Lion Luqman Michel
