The Tri-Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Kuala Lumpur Cycling Association (KLCA), held on 25 July 2009, is null and void.Sports Commissioner, Datuk Nik Mahmud Nik Yusuf (picture) said his office has informed the KLCA of the decision.
"We faxed the letter to KLCA on 16 September and they have confirmed receiving it. Probably the letter which was posted on the same day has not been received yet because of the Hari Raya holidays," said Datuk Nik.
The letter was addressed to the Secretary and send to its registered office at the Kuala Lumpur Velodrome.
Datuk Nik said that KLCA has been informed that the meeting was conducted not in accordance with the constitution and therefore was deem to be null and void.
"We have advised KLCA to call for a fresh AGM and a new election after making necessary correction on the discrepencies identified,'' added Datuk Nik.
Datuk Nik did not elaborate on the discrepencies, but it is obvious that the whole procedure was not in accordance with the KLCA constitution. These include not having a council meeting prior to sending out the notice of the AGM and membership issues.
Because of the manner in which the AGM was called, the KLCA President, Tan Sri Mohamed Noor Rahim resigned.
Its realiably learnt that the "new office bearers" of KLCA led by Datuk Malik Mydin and Executive Secretary, Haji Fazin Saad could not furnish all the documents required by the Sports Commisioners Office.
Among them the minutes of the council meeting that decided on the date and venue of the AGM and also the financial report.
With these decision, the former council, with Deputy President Daud Abu Kassim in charge, would have to take the necessary steps to hold a new AGM and make the necessary corrections, as requested by the Sports Commisioner's office.
Congratulations to the Sports Commissioner for being decisive in such matters . At least the matter is now decided and the KLCA can go on with its AGM to be conducted fairly.
ReplyDeleteThere are many more complaints against their members and I hope the SC do not wait too long to come to a decision. The SC must act without fear or favour and be fair to all Sports Body.
What I am referring to are complaints against OCM also must be dealt with sharply. They are your members and under your jurisdictions, but the nonsense that is going in there have to be clean up. You have asked for their expenditure of your members. I hope you can check whether there are abuse in the usage of their funds.
OCM may be an NGO, they are suppose to uphold the Olympian spirit, are they following the law under the Sports Development Act? Are they following their own constitution? If they are not why not.
On this note syabas to the SC and his Team. We hope to hear more from the SC office and announcement of this nature in future. You are the Sports Commissioner, the Public demands to know what you are doing.
