Forgiveness and forgetting

Since young I never bothered about what other people will think when I do certain things. I just focus on what is right and what makes me happy.

I believe that as we build our self-worth, our need to seek approval will diminish dramatically. 

Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host -A lesson from Bhagavad Gita

Here is something to ponder over especially for my Hindu friends including Sai Baba Devotees.

In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna tells Arjuna that he should go into battle and fight.

Arjuna then tells Krishna that he cannot fight, because he sees opposite him his grand uncle Bhishma and cousins and other relatives.

My final email to Lions Club International

There is an originating summons in the court in Kota Kinabalu filed by John Ho @ Ho Shui Fah and Francis Liew against Registry of Societies.

Back in January 2019 I wrote to Lions Club International. Here is my email and an automatic reply. As expected LCI Legal did not respond. I believe it is very irresponsible of LCI not to respond.

Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host – update

There was news (hearsay) that ROS had made an application to strike out the case filed by John Ho and Francis Liew. 

The latest news is that the court did not strike out the case.

Lions Club KKHost - Illusory Superiority

Ever feel that you’re surrounded by idiots? Feel like everyone else has their IQ in the single digits? Then perhaps, you’ve got a case of illusory superiority! Either that or the people around you really are idiots.

When people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. Instead of being confused, perplexed, or thoughtful about their erroneous ways, incompetent people insist their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin said, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.” These are the people with a case of illusory superiority.

Even with hard facts only 14 members resigned from the ill fated Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host. Are the remaining members’ real idiots?

Why is it that the remaining members are unable to accept the reliability of the reports presented at the 8^th BOD meeting despite it being detailed? One of the reasons could be that they have not been handed the reports presented by the Past President at the 8^th BOD meeting. Anyway, this is how the BOD has been keeping the members in the dark.

Is it possible that one continues to be an idiot because one is too stupid to realize that one is an idiot?

De-registration letter to Lions Club

I have finally managed to get a copy of the letter to the Lions Club dated 28.6.2018.

Notice of De-registration of Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu ( PPM-002-12-24011967)

It is in Malay and here is a rough translation of the gist of the letter.

De-registered club in good standing

I have written earlier that the Lions Club International considers the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host as still in good standing despite the club being de-registered by ROS.

Recently, I heard that International Club dues were paid for 2018/2019. This news is yet to be confirmed by LCI.

I have also now confirmed that the letter from ROS de-registering the Lions Club was sent to the secretary and copied to President Betty Epin, Treasurer Jessie Goh See Yee. The Police and to the insolvency department.
