Episode 1: The Beginning
It had been few years I had been involving myself in the cat fancy and perhaps I would like to share some of the stories about the cat fancy. I will pick the time when I was a Secretary of a club because that is when I have the oppurtunity to learn about human characteristics and also to see how someone is so into winning that can change one self. I will keep this post running and will update as soon as I have the time since it is going to be a long one.
I had joined with some close friends to plan to open up a new club but that idea was halted when a senior member of an existing club came to us and convince us to take over the existing club since the club is an established and proven club. It would be sad to see the club died should we proceed to open a new club. At that time, only me and another fellow member were not in favor of the idea knowing the fact the amount of backlog work need to be cleared. Honestly, I thought I was with the right crowd of people and I thought what the heck and agreed with them finally. So, we started planning our strategies for the upcoming AGM.
We managed to take over the club without any opposition (so to speak) and I was chosen as the new Secretary. Anyway, there is no contender for my post (and so are the other posts!) In short, it is just a walk over kind of election and my life as the Secretary had not been fun nor easy either; just imagine the incomplete documentations such as minutes, official letters, expenditures that does not make sense or any sort of supporting documents etc which there is no starting point to start with. And to make things more interesting, tasks and orders were given out not by the President or Vice President but just an ordinary committee member!! He kept on reminding that a Secretary like me is the most powerful person in a club (which I begged the differ of course!).
On one EXCO meeting, I had tabled out on the roles and responsibilities of each office bearers to make certain that all of us understand our roles and but a committee memberall this is already stated in the club constitution. I was like Hello!!! The VP only starts to do his role in the absence of a President. As long as the President is there, what is the function of a VP then? And does a Treasurer collects money only and updating accounts?
Besides having to endure that the EXCO meeting started late, occasionally an hour or so as depicted time, either the grand President arriving fashionably late or someone need to close the shop or another one need to help a cat to deliver some babies; one MUST important agenda of the meeting is the discussion on how to expel the 2 specific members from the club. I started to feel bored and tired of going the issue over and over again in every meeting and also my suspicious started to arouse on why the they were so determined to have these 2 members being expelled.
Episode 2: The Banquet
Let’s forget about the 2 lucky members whom had been tried very hard to get expelled but to date were still with the club and let’s talk about my very first show…
Not bad actually! As my memory serves me well, I had the least important role for this first round. My tasks were only setting up the hall in preparation of welcoming 120 guests or so, arranging close to 150 tables and chairs, supervising some donkey numbers of contractors, draw out a baboon layout plan….. that’s about it and you were right, I am just being sarcastic on this! But I must sympathized to the royal highness of our beloved President for enduring such painful task by taking the judges to wine and dine few consecutive days before the show. Imagine those calories they have to endure and you were right again, I am just being nice on this!!
Where are the rest of the people? Well, the Treasurer need to make sure his streak winning cats will give him that streak winnings he always wanted and therefore he need to perform the streak winning special mantra grooming session with his cats. The VP was unreachable at that point of time which highly understandable since this is a voluntary work and he needs to take care of his rice bowl. The entry clerk had confidently screw up as an entry clerk and in the midst of rectification which was not one of his best talents anyway. OK lah since everyone would have their own problem right??
The show went quite well with just some missing curtains which led some cats and exhibitors had to absorb more Vitamin D than they should as per the daily recommended dosage by the FDA, patrons started to trip and balance themselves like they were performing a 10cm long jump no thanks to the worn torn dusty carpets (You should see when the hall is empty! You can see the whole world map on the floor!!!), lightings as bright as the power of 5 candlelight watts but thanks to the missing curtain which straight away charge up to 1000 candlelight watts and safe the day!
Alright, that is about the show and let’s talks about the banquet. Oh my god!! I had never seen the most terribly run banquet with totally NO MONEY given to the committee who run it but still able to make everyone who walks in like going for an Oscar (Pleaseeee excuse the Treasurer’s dressing since it had been so way out of his time to walk into an Oscar - which he didn’t has the chance anyway!). At the end of the banquet, from ZERO financially had gained THOUSANDS. Sorry for being, again, sarcastic at the opening of this paragraph.
‘But hey wait a minute, did I attend the banquet. No I did not!!’
‘But how do I know what’s happening?’
Hello! If I can put pieces of evidences together to get the whole picture and solve a crime in less than 1 hour (depending how long is the commercial breaks), do you think I can’t figure out things by seeing pictures taken during the banquet? Duh!!!!!!
So what did I learn from this show?
Hall rental - RM5000
Booth rental - RM3000
Wine and dine by the your highness - RM had never been disclosed
Working like an ass and got no appreciation at all - PRICELESS
Still owing money for the hotel - QUESTIONABLE because foreign exhibitors were barred ever since then
Got 20,000 and still claim not enough - DUMBASS
Got nothing but still make profit - THAT IS SMART!!
Episode 3: The Hoax
After the last show, I did not have time to rest because there is another show coming down the road and there is just no time to rest!!! Anyway, we do have a post mortem for our first show which takes place a few several weeks later. All of us came just for one thing, getting our money back!! Do you know we have to fork out our own pocket money amounting from hundreds to thousands depending who is that idiot? (OK! I am one of them!!!)
I guessed a cheque book will be a good main witness in this case of course, provided it was not conviniently lost or disappeared by the time of this episode had been released! There is so much thing that a cheque book can tell!!!
After we happily got our cheques, we were start talking about the cat fancy of other foreign lands and do you know what?
‘WHAT?????’
They do HAVE the intention to bar people from the foreign place-that-the-name-we-do-not-speak to show their cats here…
‘How are they going to do it?’
Simple! By holding frequent smaller shows (their master plan nicknamed, DUMBASS) which definitely deter these people from the foreign place-that-the-name-we-do-not-speak from coming in and their own cats; mainly their LHs and Semi LHs will grab all the points. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA…….. (lightning strikes 3 times…. at their arses!)
‘But how do they get the numbers to grab more points?
Simple! Firstly, by asking those who owned their cats to participate and also from other locals (In order words, ’shiokkk sendiri’ lah). Or else, how does the title freaking maniac would have his cat achieved DM title so fast? By manipulating the buyers of his cats, he only benefited solely to himself, both cash and title!
Let’s talk about the permits for foreign cats coming in and out from the country. Do you know how much exactly these permits cost? RM8 that spells EIGHT RINGGIT!!! And how much this idiots charging the foreigners from place-that-the-name-we-do-not-speak? Just add another ZERO at the back! Why there is a 90% hike up when we suppose to be encouraging cat showing for the betterment of the cat fancy (Eggs threw at my face!!!)
How much does a Health Cert cost then? Well, that depends but just a simple form and processing is only cost RM25. And how much the idiotas are charging? RM100!!
Anyway, whose brilliant idea is this? I give you a hint…. There were 2 people involved in this scam!
…
…
…
Still could not guess who? Oh man! How naive you could be!! Refer 6 paragraphs up and the answer is there!
And who told you guys that you MUST go through them in order to get the permits done?? And do you know that these people at the back saying ‘GOTCHA’ in every foreign entry they received!! Money (ka ching ka ching) coming in mah!!
So, what do we learn today?
1. If you had been a jackass once (or twice), don’t be a jackass anymore in the future when dealing with such people!!
2. Talk to the right people should you need further clarification and confirmation. Call up local authorities yourself would be the best advise or anyone that you can trust to help you get the necessary information.
3. Some scumbags still owned their mighty trusted runner on his running fee to do the permits and as of to date, they are now refugees running away from the runner!!!! Muahahahaha….
…. to be continued!!!
‘WAIT!!!!’
‘What??’
‘What is the result of the post mortem?’
‘There is none you idiot!!!!’ Name only call post-mortem but (shook my head and walk off…… screen faded to black)
Episode 4: The Awakening
Ever wonder how many people had been pissed as of this date? Ever wonder why people were pissed? Ever wonder why some people had no shame to admit their own mistakes but continually licking their own spits on the filthy floor in front of the public?
There is an incident whereby in the midst of finalizing the horrendous first show and looking for the last remaining judge in which 2 of the initially contracted judges were ditched for the reason of insufficient funds. One of the ditched judge was not happy about it and decided to report the committee to the international board for violating and dishonouring a contract which had been signed.
Then out from nowhere, a short huglie man came out with his Soh-Loh outfit sprang into action. Representing himself as the so called legal advisor and there, he swung his soh-loh twisted tongue with the judge and guessed what! The results that the entire nation where the judge came from was informed by the rudeness of Soh-Loh and the judge promised will not set her foot in shows organized by the his team! There goes the good image!!!
The irony is that, such rogue appearance was not discussed with the committee first and the committee believed that they had never appointed him as the legal advisor! The correspondence sent to the judge by Soh-Loh was also not made known to the Secretary at that time. So, a Secretary is not the most powerful person but a soh-loh .
Therefore, the correspondence by Soh-Loh with the judge was entirely on his rogue behaviour and was not made known or notified to the committee. In short, he had illegally represent himself???
The same thing happened again when for another show. Soh-Loh clad on his soh-loh outfit again had made a proposal by himself without the discussion with the entire committee and only show the committee the final draft by self electing himself as the Chairman . Man!! Do you know that some had felt to throw chairs on his huglie distorted Persian face which in hope can correct some of his deformations??
It is also got to some committee’s attention that Soh-Loh with the Treasurer had been having back closed door discussions on the future shows which solely may have benefited themselves especially appointment of judges, which cat to bring in to kick off their opponents’ cats etc.
Sigh!! Would you to work with such people?
You’re the judge…
Episode 5: The Unexpected
Last weekend, I received a message from the Secretary asking me to contact him since he had something to talk about. Being bound with the contract of my episodes, I brought to the attention of my directors and all of them with the same kepala (thought), they told me;
‘Quick! Quick! Call him. Let’s see what he wants and we may have an additional bonus episode for the viewers’
and I said, ‘Ok loh…..’
So, I managed to grab hold of the Secretary and I asked him what does he wants.
He told me that he understood that I had personally knew the committee way longer than he is and so, I knew a lot of things than he is (that is a bull cause he is damn know what is going on but chose to ignore!!).
So, I straight away asked him the identity of 5XH and tom_cattery and he quickly denied BUT he did said he ’suspected’ who is in HIS COMMITTEE behind these 2 nicknames.
For the viewers’ information, both 5XH and tom_cattery had went into a public forums and had said that I had no life lah (Oh please!!!), go back to the hole I came from (obviously I could not go back to my mom’s womb!!) and associating me with some nicknames. At the time of the allegations, I knew very well that 5XH and tom_cattery were from some dirty committee.
In fact, few months ago I received a threat SMS from an oversea number and claiming that I was using the nickname F14_tomcat and the message stated that if I (the so-called F14_tomcat) still continue to post in the public forum, I will be exposed! Dazed on what actually was meant by the SMS, I ignored it. Few weeks later, the VP and I went out over beer and dinner and I’d brought up the SMS joke and I laughed like a mad cow (and it is got nothing to do with the beer!!). The VP was not laughing at all and looked at me right in the eyes and said that the SMS was actually sent by xxxxx (one of his committee). I was dumb-founded and asked him why he need to do such coward act and what prove did he or the committee had that F14_tomcat was actually me? According to the VP is ‘the way‘ F14_tomcat wrote in the public forum which ‘sounded’ just like me. I told him that either they were born with a penis size brain or they had evolved to the extent that the brain had shifted to their arse which made them thinking based on baseless assumptions.
The VP said he knew about the wrong-doings of the his committee, decisions dictated and done by a committee member without the consent of the others, how some members collaborated secretly behind the committee’s back as well as the club’s financial account which was highly questionable since when I was the Secretary, I had never seen any sort of accounts prepared by the Treasurer. Even the shows’ accounts were not presented to the committee during meetings.
Unfortunately, the VP who knew the situation and he had chose to close an eye although he did threaten to resign his commission as the VP but I had heard of this over and over again and until today, he is still with the club. Anyway, I’ll bet my life savings that he will not resign from the committee since he had became a joint breeder with a member and resigning from the club would certainly has devastated consequences towards his breeding plan.
Honestly, the Secretary had used nicknames and bashed people in the public forum and that is why he thought that I will expose him.
I told him that his committee acted like a crazy hound and kept on hurling many false accusations towards other people. I still remembered that the last I spoken to the VP, he told me that the committee had intercepted an email whereby the content of the email stated that I had forwarded a members’ list to another third party. I had asked the VP for the copy of the email which he refused to send to me. I had also asked the VP who is the third party that I had been implicated with but the VP do not want to disclose the name. I told the VP if he wanted to believe whatever his committee is saying and do not trust me, I do not honour such friendship and I even threatened to make a report to the necessary authority about the accusation in which I will personally hand delivered the report to him, in which the VP said it is not necessary for me to do so!!!
Finally, I told the VP, if I had done such thing, please by all means ask his committee to sent me a show cause letter or even expel me from the club and I know what I need to do.
Up to date, I had not received any thing from the club. (COWARDS!!!!!!!!)
Lastly, I told the Secretary that I knew the certain individuals in his committee are shaken that the truth is slowly leaking out to public knowledge since people already start talking about them and to stop all this, is very simple;
‘5XH and tom_cattery need to go to the public forums and make a public apology!!.’
Before he hang up, he said he had no personal vendetta against me and I told him that only god knows that and I told him also that I do not trust him as well as everyone in his committee.
Episode 6: The Big Showdown (Part I)
(Everything is in pitch black and you hear my voice uttering this…..)
It was the biggest show that I had ever involved and seen which also the last that I will ever work with the arseholes. This show had actually reached my boiling point and there were so many things that had took for granted as well as some procedures where some maybe so condemned, it happened in this show!! A great eye opener actually.
(Coming out from the dark into the limelight now…..)
Let’s talk about preparation of the show (What preparation????). There was only 1 confirmed sponsor, which like 1/5 of the total estimation budget I would assume so where the hell is that going to be enough??? Anyway, for the attention of my faithful readers, this show had never ever EVER NEVER tabled and discussed about the budget.
In other words, it is like ‘OK lah let’s do a big show n heee haaaa here we come baby!!‘
But hold on to your horses or anything that you’re riding on. Rumours had it one of the committee member did came out with his own budget report of the show (nicely printed in color and binded some more!) which amounting up to whoopiiii ridiculous amount which will be shown to some agencies for sponsorship. I admit that I had no interest for any discussions or meetings since I already had lost interest seeing how it was not been managed properly. The thought of quitting did crossed my mind but I still continue helped out in this show, is solely for one reason….. FRIENDSHIP!
(You heard The Rembrandts singing, ‘So no one told you life was going to be this way….. (clapping hands 5 times). If you have no clue what this song is, you had no FRIENDS at all!!!!!)
Anyway, I’d mentioned in my previous episode that a committee member had self-elected himself as the so-called Chairman for the show WITHOUT the consent of the committee. I still remembered when I attended the club’s AGM, he said loudly that it is SO WRONG for the president acted on his own by running activities in the name of the club without the consent of his committee. Now ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I presented you the same person is doing the direct opposite of what he had preached (another spit licking session please!!). What a shock!!
What role did I play this time? I was the clerk for the show and I had done what I need to be done or suppose to be done. (Perhaps not to some people’s expectations who had busy backstabbing people from the back and do nothing!!) One of my task is to obtain medical records from foreign participants and there were a few that (after numerous counts of reminder via emails) had not submit the proper or complete documentations.
Is that going to be my problem?
Now, one of the committee member’s job is doing the application for necessary permits for the foreign exhibitors coming in and out of the country using these medical documentations. In other words, he is supposedly to check all documentations himself since it was his responsibility which he did not. So don’t blame me for not doing your job!! For your info, ladies and gentlemen, this fellow did not do the permits himself but appointed another third party to do it!!!! Neat huh!!!
When I was asked to go outstation (meaning travel out of state) due to an emergency, blames started hurled against me by the committee claiming that I ‘disappear’ just like that!! I did notified to everyone about this.
(Hello!!! My salary was not paid by the club ok!!! What did you guys do all this time? Wine and dine with the judges? When the VP went MIA for the first show, did you guys say anything besides yakking behind his back??)
The night before I left, I had to wait for the VP to arrive at my place in order for me to pass all documentations and he had the luxury of 5 days to check whether the they are in order or not. He was an hour plus late from the time we suppose to meet and when I handed all documentations with some briefings, my 5 hours journey drive at night starts!!
Knowing what’s at stake, I managed to convince my superior to allow me to come back a day before the big show (I supposed to stay until Friday! The same Friday of our big show). Upon arrival, I washed up and I went to the show hall in order to help setting up the show hall. I had even brought the VP our favourite drinks which is BEER!!!! Luckily, there were many volunteers came and help up million thanks to the Advisor (now became EX-Advisor!!) of the club. She had contacted some senior club members and they came with their family to help us!! She even prepared a very nice sumptous dinner to all volunteers that night. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Well, the President did came to the show hall that night and do you know what the President??
***********
***********
***********
2 bunches of bananas!!!
If you can’t see the similarity between the 2 pictures; it means that the President came empty handed lah!!!
What pisses me off is that the President came to the show hall and started to change the layout of the benching!! (Sounds familiar???) The President had no sense of shame and guilt of not just knowing the fact no help was given during the set up, came to me and told me that the President wanted to be closer to the judging ring. I told the President that the benching allocations is already half way through and the President said that I can handle it since it is only minor adjustment need to be done.
(Hello!! Easy for the President to say. FYI, the President had personally done benching layout for a 2 ring show 2 years ago and it was a total mess!!!)
Tired, I said, ‘Whatever lah…’
Because of the changes, the volunteers had to work extra hours and this also pisses a lot of them. Most of us were already tired and with frustration baking inside most of us, the VP could not tolerate anymore. The victim of course is one of the committee member for not getting some judging numbers done. Both of them argued and shouted at each other. I tried to stop them and I said that everyone is tired and let’s not picking on small issues but the VP could not control himself. The committee member dropped everything in his hands and walk off leaving the show hall. He even shouted loudly that he will RESIGN after the show! (Can i have the bucket of spit over here again, please!) All of us went back subsequently after that and I told the VP that I will continue to do the new benching allocations and also print out the benching numbers (which he had not done!!!!)
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs, I did not have the opportunity to sleep that night!!
I went to the show hall about 6.30am and started putting up the benching numbers at respective cages and thank god, all numbers were up before the registration started.
What do I learn from this episode?
Monetary from A sponsor: RM47,000
Airfare for 8 judges: RM42k+
Show hall rental for 3 days: unknown
Other expenses: never been revealed
Prediction: FULL OF DEBTS!!!
Lesson learnt: PRICELESS!!!
Episode 7: The Big Showdown (Part II)
It may not be a perfect show but thank god there are no major hiccups. I guessed this is so much someone could offer to prevent a major disaster. Luckily, I only show 1 cat (initially was 3). I could not imagine if I’d showed 3 cats and behaved like the rest of the cat committee enjoying the show, sitting in front of the judging rings and watch how their cats being judged, I am very sure things would turn out to be very different. But what the heck, I told myself, as volunteer since this is going to be my last show might as well I kept myself useful and do my best to keep things running.
I was also handling the agility contest and most of my time, I had to be at the agility ring while the rest were enjoying the show. Even the agility barrier nettings were half done and I had to finish the remaining. Whatever labour work needs to be done, some committee members will ‘tai chi’ the responsibilities either to me and other volunteers. I had not seen these committee members do anything throughout the entire show. One being too busy watching his cats being judged, busy entertaining the foreign MCO breeder from the States whom had brought in a MCO for him just to name as an example.
Anyway, talking about this new MCO from the States… I may not be a breeder but the first time when I saw that cat, I was shocked. I turned to owner and asked him what happen to his nose? No, the cat was not injured but OMG! The MCO’s nose looks like being slammed on a 10 inch concrete wall at the speed of Mach 1 !!!! I mean the dip-ness (sorry I know it’s wrong spelling but just want to stress my level of shock) of the nose. I guessed the owner knew exactly what I am talking about and did not say a word. I think he would say 2 words…. ‘Zia Lat !!!’
Anyway, few weeks prior from the show, a statement (obviously written by some hot shot) was released to the public that the show committee will not process any permits for cats coming to the show which is not from their origin country or in other words, any exhibitors who wanted to buy a cat from a foreign breeder, that cat will not able to be granted quarantine exemption. So, question now is, why is that so?? Rumours had it that one of the committee did brought in a cat from overseas to the show. Why the double standard?
When volunteers were busy running around, I noticed that one of the committee member will always gliding (not walking!!) slowly around the show hall with his hands positioned behind the back (thinking he is some great politician or something… Oh pleaseeee!!) enjoying every moment of the show. What can I say??
During lunch, both the President had conveniently gone MIA and all judges were left seated in a room waiting for their lunch. No one had informed the volunteers anything about the judges’ meal. I took the initiative to call up the President and when she picked up the phone, I heard noisy background so I knew that the President is outside somewhere. I asked the President about the judges’ lunch and you know what the President says?
‘Just let them eat the lunch packs that were prepared for the exhibitors loh!!!’
I said, ‘WHAT??? See Pui Kia and who will entertain the judges then??’ and the President said that the volunteers will handle them!!
While the President went out and have their own cosy private lunch, the volunteers were ditched with the responsibility to take care the judges. Personally, I had no issue of serving the judges but proper coordination need to done in the first place. The judges were left sitting there and asking is their lunch being prepared? For your info, the lunch packs for the exhibitors consist only plain white rice and spicy chicken where most them could not take it!
SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!
Episode 8: The Big Showdown (Part III - Season Finale)
The next day after the show had finally over, I got a called from the President and asked me to meet up with the Treasurer to sign a cheque in order to pay off some bills. I asked her what is the total amount and also payable to who.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID????
‘Never mind, just go and sign the cheque only!’
I was like….. If the President was in front of me, I will slap the President’s face with a trout and knock some sense out of the head!!
First of all, I told the President that I need to drive 35-40 minutes all the way to meet with the Treasurer!!
Second of all, I said as a President, I was asked to sign a BLANK CHEQUE!!!
I just had it and gave my piece of my mind. I continued;
1. Ever since we had took over the club, all meetings were either held at the Treasurer’s place due to the reason that the Treasurer need to guard his almighty business or at the President’s place due to the reason that the President happened to be conveniently on stand by for that night. I said that I had been very accommodating with that since I lived the furthest of both location.
(Moral of the story: Never take advantage on people for your own convinience)
2. It is the responsibility of a President to make sure all funds were allocated and pay the necessary bills accordingly and timely
(Moral of the story: Be responsibile!!)
3. It is very irresponsible and unethical as a President to ask any authorized signatory to sign a blank cheque.
(Moral of the story: Be ethical!!)
In reply, the President asked me, ‘You don’t trust the Treasurer meh??’
(Moral of the story: Never deviate a subject!!!)
I was darn mad when the President said that and I asked this question,
‘Why do you asked me whether I trust the Treasurer but instead of you as the President?’
(Moral of the story: Stand firm what you think is right!!)
I continued, ‘Please do not involve my existing friendship that I had with the Treasurer and the club matters because it is 2 different things. When it comes to club matters, as Secretary, I have all the god damn right to ask and do it professionally and not because we were buddies, we neglect some procedures.’
The President did not say a word.
I told the President that I will only meet the Treasurer after I knew the exact amount and who is the payable person to. Finally, the President let me know the amount and off I went to see the Treasurer.
When I was there, the President and a committee member were already present and I asked for the cheque book and write the cheque which is payable to whom and before I wrote the amount, I confirmed the total amount again. In which, the Treasurer said that the club’s account is insufficient to pay all that!!. I looked at the Treasurer and said,
‘WHAT??? How much money do we had left?’
I turned to the President and told her that I was asked to come ALL the way to sign a cheque to pay ALL the necessary bills which turn out that the club do not have ALL the funds it needs??
Finally, we agreed to withdraw everything out from the club’s account and I’d wrote what it is supposed to be paid for auditing purpose as per normal practise at the cheque stub. My action was immediately halted by the committee member. He said I need not write that down. I looked at him giving the stare which obviously penetrated his eye balls and skull and asked him why.
‘Isn’t that the fund is going to be used to pay some of our bills or unless it was meant for other things?’, I said
I continued to write at the stub and left immediately.
After a long thought, I tendered my resignation as Secretary. The President had contacted me to ask me to reconsider my decision (without asking me why I had resigned in the first place) and gave all sort of craps in order for me to change my mind. Not even a micro-second to think about it, I rejected the offer!!
There were 3 things that had came to my attention:
1. Foreign exhibitors had been offered free nights accommodation who bring in certain number of cats. Question is does the so called ‘attractive’ entry fee able to cover the hotel payments?
2. A judge and the MC had been asked to donate back their fees (the key phrase here is ‘asked to donate back their fees!!!), lower their airfare price and even miscellaneous charges that the club supposedly to pay! This is very humiliating and one of them said that if the club had not had the funds to run a big show, DON’T DO IT!!!
3. A company which was contracted in this show has family linkage with one of the committee member which was not disclosed to the committee. I think this is important to highlight it out to avoid any sort of conflict of interest.
To my faithful readers, I had resigned for the following reasons:
1. I have NO CONFIDENCE in the President’s leadership who was only there as a puppet, had show no signs leading the club and also allowing an ordinary committee member dictating the whole committee and taking actions on his own accord without the consent of the committee.
2. Matters that supposed to be discussed with the entire committee were not done and were kept closed doors between the 2 committee members only.
3. Some committee members had conveniently violated rules stated in the club’s constitution as well as business ethics
4. No proper post mortem was being done after EVERY show and show accounts had never been produced.
5. The objective of the club is only to have shows which benefit certain individuals in the committee
I had enough seeing these people. Tired of seeing all the manipulation and seeing innocents volunteers being used to benefit some individuals. What a good show some of these people had put on and honestly, I am thankful to able to see all this since I was given the chance and opportunity to know how self-centered, selfish, snobbish, ungrateful and manipulative a human being can be. I had learnt my lessons (very well!!). It is a shame that some prestige clubs with some more than 10 years in history had been brought down by unscrupulous people; smearing the clubs’ good name, pissing everyone off; both local and abroad and yet these people still think they are in the right.
I received quite a number of emails since Day 1 of my story and how many had agreed with me on some of the things I highligted and I thank you all for the supports and comments that were given. Anyway, although my story is coming to an end, I had more stories that I would like to share with my fellow readers. It is just that I could not believed that I had over 100 readers per day (just click on the World Map with red dots on the right column of my blog) and I had not even do any marketing promo!!
Before I pen off, I would like to dedicate a song in honour of my tribute to these unhealthy people. Listen to the lyrics carefully ya.
Hit it girl!!!!
