On 1.4.2019, after having prepared a complete set of report to accompany my police report I went to the Karamunsing police station (Karamunsing is in Kota Kinabalu which is the capital city of Sabah).

Another police report



I just prepared another police report and will submit it to the police later this morning.

I am not sure if there is going to be any use in my reporting to the police as our investigating officer (IO) that dealt with my case in December 2016 did not even know that a club can have a financial year end on any month end other than December 31st. The IO simply did not accept that there can be any other year-end despite my explanation to her. She could not accept that the Lions Clubs had a financial year ending on 30th June.

False evidence



An affidavit is a sworn statement documenting points or events that the writer experienced and believes to be true (or what most people will call a “fact”). The difference between this and a Facebook post or an anonymous letter is that an affidavit is filed under oath, meaning that you can be jailed up to 3 years and possibly fined for lying in an affidavit. Basically, if you lie in an affidavit, you’re giving false evidence; which is a crime.

Use of Funds Raised from Lions Clubs Activities (Part 2).




The following guidelines from the internet are a supplement to the Use of Funds Policy.

Q. Our Lions Club purchased directors and officers liability insurance with the crime/fidelity (Bond) coverage to protect the officers of the club and to protect the club from losses as a result of fraudulent acts. What funds may be used to purchase this insurance?

Crime and Locus Standi



If I know that a Crime has been committed by Lions Club of Kota kinabalu Host can I report it to the police? In other words do I have locus standi?

Well, assuming you witness a shooting incident where your neighbor is shot dead are you allowed to report to the police? According to a learned friend of mine you not only have the right to report but you are duty bound as a good citizen to report a crime.
