A stitch in time saves nine

 


小洞不堵,大洞吃苦. xiǎo dòng bù dǔ , dà dòng chī kǔ.

I used the above proverb several times in 2017 when I complained about the secret bank accounts operated by the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host.

The first person I then wrote to was PDG Lawrence Ting. He said he was no longer the DG and I should write to DG Eve Wong.

I wrote to several other PDG’s who did not even bother to respond to my emails.

Bashing vs being critical

                                                      


Some people bash others to gain happiness at the expense of others.

Being a "Critic" is an analysis of positive, negative, strength and weakness.

My blog on education is a good example of criticizing the educators who write without knowing why kids cannot read. LINK

"Bashing" arises out of deep seated insecurity leading to intense aversion or hostility towards someone or something. It is a Psychological strong negative emotional response with a desire to harm, pull down, or devalue others. Social media has given an opportunity for "Open Bashing".

Lions Club District 308A2 - current affairs

Three days ago, I read a Facebook post on Lawrence Ting’s Facebook page. LINK

It reminded me of what happened in 2017. Those who followed my Facebook post in 2017 will see many similarities in this current post.

Here is a comment from Andrew Tsen who is the same guy who commented on my posts in 2017/2018. I would say that he is one of the few guys who argues sensibly. He however, walked away from my questions when he was cornered.

Lackadaisical attitude of the Lions Club’s District Governor Lydia Lu Siew Fong (Lydia SF Lu)

 


I wrote to the DG for year 2021 – 2022, Lydia SF Lu, on 8.7.2021 and have yet to receive a response from her.

 

From what I have seen since 2017 all District Governors are only interested in going about collecting donations and grants and doing some charity work.

Hind sight on John Ho’s intimidating email


This post was drafted in January 2021 but for some reason I had not published it.

Today, 25.1.2021, I read the email from PDG John Ho to PDG Eve Wong, International president of LCI and David Kingsbury of LCI legal. This email was written in March 2017.

I read the email to prepare documents for filing my intended court case against my former Club.

Let me respond to the email with hind sight.

Email exchanges between Barry Palmer and me.


When I wrote to IPP Barry Palmer, he said that if I believe LCIF has mismanaged fund I may report to him and that he will investigate it.

Soon after the involvement of John Ho on the conversations between Barry and me, Barry ‘found out’ that he had no ‘AUTHORITY’ to investigate.

A blast from the Past (Part 3) - why the club was reinstated


 

On 28.6.2018, the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host wrote to the Minister of Home Affairs to appeal against the deregistration of the club.

On 2.11.2018 Originating summons with John Ho and Francis Liew as plaintiffs were filed against the Registrar of Societies. The summons was supported by affidavits of John Ho and Francis Liew who affirmed in their capacity as Past President and a former secretary of Lions club of Kota Kinabalu Host respectively.

Lions Club's - background information for new readers.

 


Background information of my upcoming email to Registrar of Societies (ROS)

Over the last 3 years I have written to the Lions Clubs of District 308A2 to expel Francis Liew and John Ho who had expelled me from the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host with a fabricated letter purported to have been received from a parliamentarian from the US. The members however have closed an eye on this matter.

Dear Lion Friends,
I am Luqman Michel who was expelled from the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host in 2017 January.

The club was de-registered on 28.6.2018.

Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host - Collateral damage



It appears that members of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu are adamant and appears they have decided to take their chances in court.

My main concern at this point is the fact there will be collateral damages as I cannot and should not leave anything behind. I have learned from my recent hearing on my complaint to the Disciplinary Board. This will be a no-holds-barred complaint.

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.

John Ho's comments in IPP Barry Palmers FB page - Part 1



After an absence of more than a year of comments by John Ho via his common law wife Marcia Hong he suddenly appeared on 21.5.2019 and posted a few lines in a Face Book post in International Past President Barry Palmer’s page. 

I did not want to respond but then again if I don't many of the readers of IPP Barry's FB page will think that I am at fault.

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.

IPP Barry Palmer - Face Book Discussion (Part 2)





                                                       (Photo Past IP with current IP)
                                                 First IP from Australia and first woman IP

Let us start from the very beginning… a very good place to start.

I reported about misappropriation of funds by the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host (the name the club was known to all members). I wrote to LCIF if they had given grants to LCKK Host and the answer was in the negative.
