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,

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.

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.’

 

Lions Club - I am baffled

I am still baffled by what I had heard from Lions Club International. If there are any Lions reading this please educate me.

Lions Club International - My emails and responses

I am baffled by the recent response from Lions Club International to my emails.

 

Here is my 3^rd email to LCI since the de-registration of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu host.

Response to a comment on De registration (Part 2)

Here is the comment and my response.

Diane Carmelia:  Luqman, the answer to your question could be derived from the position taken by LCI legal division in this attached email reply on the same matter of a deregistered club. 

I looked at the response from LCI’s Mr. David Kingsbury (Attorney for LCI) shared by Diane and don’t have much to say. 

Lions Motto - "We serve" - What does it mean?

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wolves+among+lions 

These two emails are the last two communication between LCI and me. LCI has categorically told me that they will not communicate with me. 

But then there are many other avenues to seek a solution and to put things right. 

Lions all over the world should learn that they cannot sweep things under the carpet. Clubs should realise that there are Lions including Lions who have been expelled who actually live by the motto"We serve" and they do not follow the crowd.

The following is my last email to LCI and LCI's response. LCI did not address the many questions I had raised in my email posted in my last article and neither have they tried to see the logic in this email - my last email-  to them. 

I will tag other Lions and see if they have any comments.

The Arrogance and stupidity of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu host

Why did the LCKKHost members write to the Daily Express and lie through their teeth? I believe when people become arrogant they act stupidly like LCKKHost did.

It was when the LCKKHost wrote in response to the article in Daily Express that I realized that the person who had written to the newspaper had lied to the police and why the police had decided not to investigate my complaint any further.

I decided to write to LCIF in February 2018 and LCI responded to my mails.

Emails to LCI after my expulsion from Lions Club

The following are emails to and fro Luqman/ LCI after my expulsion in January 2017.

I thought that once I had complained while I am a member; complaints after being expelled will still be entertained.

John Ho's intimidating email

Note: This will be the last post on Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host for at least a month. It may be even 2 or 3 months.

This is a lengthy post but for those who would like to know why DG Eve Wong did not respond, this post may be able to shed some light. This email shows how devious John SF Ho can be.

Eve Wong had written an email to John SF Ho and John responded as follows.

My comments in red after each paragraph of John’s email was written and sent off to Eve Wong, International president of LCI and David Kingsbury of LCI legal. This was in March 2017.

Dear DG Eve Wong,

Short lived excitement with LCI’s response

I did not receive any response to my 2 emails to Public Affairs, Administration, Finance or Legal Division and neither was there one from Mr.David Kingsbury.

Then in December 2017 I wrote the following email to LCI.

Pleasant surprise from LCI Public Affairs Manager

I couldn't believe my eyes when I received the following email from LCI Public Affairs Manager.

AND it was on my 65th birthday!

Please note that she had addressed it to me, Legal, Administration, Finance and to Mr.Kingsbury.

Dear Lion,

My request to LCI to post on Facebook

Here is one of the many emails to LCI that was not responded to.

Dear Friends,

I have decided to posts articles on Facebook and hope my friends on FB can do something to get you guys at LCI to act.

This is getting ridiculous where my emails are not even acknowledged receipt by you.

Dear Mr. David Kingsbury,

Thank you for your email. I  understand what you have said in your email

and one previous email written to me on 4.1.2017.

My emails to PDG's and to LCI

The following are a few emails I had sent to PDG's and to LCI since December 2016. If the PDG's or DG or LCI had taken the Bull by the horn matters could have been resolved in a much more amicable way. 

Currently I have initiated emails with LCIF and hope they would be more responsive.
