Look but do not see, hear but do not listen

This post is from 2 years ago.

This morning I saw a post by a friend which says: “Many look but do not see. Many hear but do not listen”.

Many people look at what I write about the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host, but they do not see the meaning behind what is being written. They simply can’t comprehend what is written. They do not make an effort to understand the background of the story. They do not bother to think as to why I spend so much time writing about the crime committed by educated fools.

My complaint to Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants

I wrote to Malaysian Institute of Certified Accountants (MICPA) on the 3.3.2018 in their website.

The following is an email I wrote to MICPA on 4.3.2018.

From: luqman michel <luqmanm2002@yahoo.co.uk>

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,

Is Lions Club International a Franchisor

BOD I suspected that there were bank accounts not disclosed to the BOD’s as well as to members of my Lions club - Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host.

I wrote an email to all members asking them if there were bank accounts not disclosed to the BOD’s.

When I did not get any response from my club members I decided to write to the District Governor and then to LCI.

Lions Club - Fun with Chinese Sayings

The following is what Marcia Hong, common law wife of John S F Ho, had commented in my post ‘Lions Club – Kai Tian Pi Di’ on 20.12.2017.

Marcia Hong ·

“Luqman now admits KK Host is NOT suspended. He only hallucinates and conjures KK Host suspension, like he does with everything else.
He now says "Actual suspension will occur after reviewing answers submitted" Answers were already submitted within 24 hours and still no suspension. It will not happen as the 2 questions raised are purely administrative and so insignificant that they DO NOT warrant any suspension/deregistration.”

Response from LCI to my e-mails

I have written 3 emails to LCI Legal, District Administration and Finance and have received replies from the Legal Division and addressed to Finance and Administration department of LCI.

The last email received from LCI was dated 14.2.2017 and copied to DG Eve Wong and said the following:

1.      Lions Clubs are autonomous and each Lions club is responsible for complying with local laws.

2.      If you believe that the Lions Club is mishandling club accounts, we recommend speaking with district leadership to review this matter.

3.      If you believe your removal was unjustified you may file a complaint under Club Dispute Procedure (CDRP).

Quotes from Martin Luther King Jr

Here are some words spoken by Martin Luther King Jr that are worth meditating upon.

"Those who do nothing while witnessing injustice and wrong-doing do worse than those who commit acts of injustice. The privileged have a responsibility to do what they know is right."

I have written many e-mails to all members of my Lion’s Club and except for 2 members no one else bothered to take a few minutes to comment. I am not talking about just any friends but talking about members and past presidents of the so called oldest and largest Lion’s club in Sabah.

Lion’s Mission and Vision statement

I have just returned after a week from a family get together in Port Dickson. I decided to check up a little more on the Mission and Vision statements of the Lion’s Club.

Mission Statement

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

Vision Statement

To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service

I shall think aloud on how the Mission and Vision statements reconcile with what has been happening in my club here in Kota Kinabalu.
