Right Procedure

I attended the Annual General Meeting of Malaysian Professional Centre last week. The Malaysian Professional Centre is the umbrella body for 23 professional institutions in Malaysia. The meeting is very lively with so many issues on hand. These ranged from administration, management, policies, property, participation of institution members and human resource. At the end of the day, everything is settled with understanding from the floor.

However, one of the matter irked every delegates is the non execution of resoultion approved by the general body past year ago. While everyone agreed that AGM, being the highest general body should have the final say and whatever approved must be executed by the Board of Management and Executive Council. Failing with, the Board of Management has gone against the will of the members and should be responsibile for not doing so. Even though the Board of Management might have new found fact and would not like to carry out the resolution, he cannot abort it without proposing to the General Body to rescind the earlier approval. Simply reported that the resoultion cannot be carried out and would not be carried out without the General Body reviewing earlier decision and making a new decision is unacceptable. A proper resolution has to be presented again for deliberation if the Board of Management wish to do so.

I presume this is right procedure. I was also elected as the new Honorary Treasurer of the Centre for fiscal year of 2011/2012.
