Meeting with PDG Lawrence Ting

 

 

Yesterday, on January 18, 2025, I was invited to attend a lunch meeting at EWest Restaurant to discuss the issues I had previously raised with the Registrar of Societies (ROS).

 

This was the first time I had met PDG (Past District Governor) Lawrence Ting since our last encounter in 2015 or 2016, when he was the District Governor (DG). The meeting was also attended by Datuk Margareth Lim, Horace Ho Toh Chee, and Past President Chin Chee Thau.

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.

A few days ago I saw an invitation by Lions Club Centennial where the invitation was extended to George Kunjan and to John Ho. Of course one may invite anyone as a guest. 

However, I also saw LCKK Host in the list of invitees. I thought it was a mistake and decided to let it be.

A stitch in time saves nine - inaction of DG, VDG, PDG's and LCI

A leader should shoulder responsibility for making decisions that will have implications for many others.

However, that does not come naturally to most 'so called leaders'. Their natural inclination is to pass the buck to someone else.

In the case of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host, decisions could have been taken by the club members when Past President Horace Ho Toh Chee tried to get PDG John Ho and me to bury the hatchet. I accepted but John Ho declined to make up.

Passing the buck (part 1)

I wrote to LCI Finance on 12.12.2016 and then to LCI Finance, Administration and Legal on 13.12.2016 and again on 18.12.2016 and continued with many more emails.

I wrote to most of the PDG’s in District 308A2 and to the DG and VDG.

The then VDG Pelly Lee did not respond to any of the emails I sent to her as shown below. I shall post the full emails to her tomorrow for anyone interested in reading the details. The following are extracts.

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.

Continuing from my previous post -

Here are a few more paragraphs from the email sent by John SF Ho.

“The police in Bukit Aman and Travers have already advised me to initiate legal action against LM for these allegations. I am holding back because I doubt he has enough money to pay if he loses.”

Response to John Ho's unbecoming remarks on Whatsapp

15.6.2016

Dear PDG John S F Ho and Fellow lions who may still want to read these posts.

I had said that I’ll not respond to any more emails and allowed both PP Nenita and PDG JH the last words. I have no choice but to write this email as PDG JH has now made a comment on Whats App which is uncalled for and is very unbecoming of a PDG.
