APPOINTED AS MCA KTN DIVISION TREASURER;



MCA Ktn. Division had the First Committee Meeting on 12-08-2008, Tuesday night commencing from 8.30 p.m to 9.45 p.m. In fact, it was rather a short and tame affair given by the fact that normally the first meeting would take some time for the fact that there would be a lot of appointments to be announced after the Party Election. Maybe it was dued to fatigue after the Party Election . The Party's nomination was on 24th.July 2008 and the Party's Divisional Assembly and Election was on 27th. July 2008. It was an intensely and all out battle from both camps to garner and secured votes from the Delegates. No wonder the First Meeting ended early!
Personally speaking, I was delighted to be appointed as Division Treasurer for the year 2008 to 2010 as was promised by our Division Chairman prior to the Election. I had to keep my fingers crossed as anything can happened in politics until the last minutes. My Branch comrades who had known of this news before the announcement, congratulated me for the appointment but I have to cautioned them for jumping the gun before the announcement. You know, anything can happen up to the last minute. For your information, I was politely asked to give way to Sdr. Francis Koh Heng Hok by not contending of Division Vice- Chairman post during the previous Party's Divisional Election in 2005. As I am a loyal Party's member and would not like to rock the boat. I had to wait patiently for the opportunity to be in the Executive Committee.
I have to thank the Division Chairman, Dato' Ti , for having confidence in me by appointing me as the Treasurer. Not doubt it is an appointed post and it is up to the pleasure of the Division Chairman to retain or to remove the Office Bearer as Treasurer as stipulated under the Party's constitution.This post carries heavy responsibilities as regards to the financial health of the Division. I shall do my level best to carry out my responsibilities faithfully, truthfully and with frugality so that the Party's financial health will be well balanced. This will only come about with the cooperation of all parties concerned to make our Division financially strong.
I shall end here without divulging any important information as it is against the Party's constitution. Good night.
