All quiet at accountants' meeting

Refer to attachment.
What an embarassing situation for a meeting held on 24/9/2011 at 2 p.m. with attendence of 256 members became adjourned due to lack of quorum around 7.30 p.m.
As a result, all the motions had to be debated again eventhough my motion (Motion 1) had been debated and votes by show of hands was duly conducted.
Interesting facts: no. of proxies outnumbered members present at the meeting i.e. 1,109 proxies and 256 members (including yours truly) present.

MIA STRUCTURE AGAIN HOT TOPIC AT AGM

Dear all
I wish to make some clarification on today's press article appearing on page 13 of Star BizWeek (24/9/2011).
1. My name was wrongly spelt as LIM FONG HAU.  It should be LIM FANG HAU.
2. I was NEVER interviewed by the press and I DID NOT give any press statement.
Thank you.

The Malaysian Institute of Accountants is split – what’s next?

After voting against the 4 resolution to increase fees and supported all the 6 motions in the annual general meeting, there seems to be differing view points in the new Council of the Institute.

Yes.  We want changes for the benefits of members but what about the direction of this profession...To become a professional association or a body that regulates the conduct of members, i.e. regulatory body ?

I do not know what will be the direction in future for this profession.  Will have to leave it to the authorities to decide.  For more info, please refer to the article dated 28 September 2010 in Star Biz section.
