MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT

On 21 September 2014, this General Committee will have served a full term of two years since having been elected on 23 September 2012. The GC’s work for this term was in a way cut out from the beginning, as many of the projects carried out in 2013 and 2014 had originatedin the previous General Committee’s term. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellowmembers on the GC for spending so much time and effort to undertake these various addedresponsibilities and tasks, in addition to running their respective portfolios. We have had a goodteam of people. Although we may not have agreed on everything, we always managed to keepthings in perspective and allow common sense to prevail in our decision making.

FINANCE

In the past year, the Club incurred a much larger deficit of RM 627,326 than the deficit of RM 175,675 posted in the previous year. Much of the increase can be attributed to an increase in the cost of maintenance of Club’s assets; to bad debts written off on Members’ accounts; to legal expenses; and last but not least, to increased spending on Club activities. On the revenue side, there were some noticeable increases in Members’ subscriptions and other membership-related revenue, but not enough to offset the increase in the main cost of operational expenses.

A key challenge ahead for the Club is that the fixed cost of operations, like personnel, utilitiesand maintenance is likely to continue on an upward trend in the coming years, while the main sources of revenue that we have depended upon to finance our operations may remainroughly the same each year. How then do we finance yearly deficits, like the one we have now, if our reserves of liquid funds become depleted? This important question needs to beaddressed by the incoming GC and those beyond that, if the Club is to remain viable.

MAJOR PROJECTS

Work on the five projects approved by Members at an EGM on 7 July 2013 is being carried out in stages so as to minimize disruption to Members, to avoid overstretching our managementresources, and finally to ensure that due processes are complied with. The new Club Management System is now in place, and will very shortly go fully live with regard to our new touch membershipcards. Management are working with our vendor to make preparations for the impendingimplementation of GST on 1 April 2015. The repairs to the Sports Pavilion Roof took some time to finalisebecause, ironically, we suffered several weeks of a dry spell when rain was required to detect anyresidual leaks. Works on resurfacing the six outdoor tennis courts have commenced, with courts 4, 5& 6 expected to be completed by the end of August, and the remaining three courts (7, 8 and 9)by the end of October 2014. The remaining two projects approved, namely the Upgrading ofthe Pool Desk Flooring and Upgrading of Kitchen and Equipment, are scheduled to commencein November 2014.

FOOD & BEVERAGE

F & B continues, rightly, to be a main focus of this GC, given its importance in the overalloperations of the Club. The F&B operations team, headed by our Chef Dino and Senior Executive Hadi, have done much to bring further improvement to food quality, the menu and service. It is pleasing to note that compliments as opposed to complaints are now the order of the day from Members using

AR_2013.indd 6 29/8/2014 17:56:34


our F & B facilities. Revenue has increased by over 20% from the previous year, and hit the RM 2 million mark for the first time since the operations were privatised in June 2000. Not to rest on our laurels, anew dedicated F & B manager was recruited recently, with the task of bringing F&B to a new level. The Lila Sari has been a constant conversation piece with many members; and I am pleased tosay that the GC is currently seriously looking at ways of reopening it. Several concepts are underconsideration.

In conclusion, on behalf of the General Committee, I would like to say “thank you” to the elected members of the Tender Board and Internal Audit Committee, to the convenors and members of thevarious sub-committees, and last but not least to the management and staff, for your invaluablecontributions to making our Club a better place. I wish to take this opportunity to say a special“thank you” to Mr Alex Chan, our GM for the past year and a bit, who in his short time has donesterling work for the Club but, sadly, has now decided to move on to other things. I also wish to welcomeour new GM, Mr Lawrence Lee.

Finally, to our Members, “thank you” for your patronage; for your support given in one way oranother; and for those of you who offered feedback – feedback that is very important to helpthe General Committee gauge whether things are working or not, and more generally to makethis a better club.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

We have pleasure in presenting a summary of the financial report of The Group (The Raintree Clubof Kuala Lumpur and Raintree Development Berhad) for the year ended 31st December 2013.

2013 2012 Variance

RM’000 RM’000 RM’000Operation Income 2,960 2,838 122 Less : Administrative Expenditure (3,834) (3,503) (331)Operating Deficit (874) (665) (209)Fund For Club Activities (740) (572) (168)Total Deficit (1,614) (1,237) (377)Other Income - Slot Machine 1,294 1,296 (2) FD Interest (Net of Tax) 195 174 21Non cash item - Depreciation (502) (409) (93)Net Deficit (627) (176) (451)

For the year ended 31st December 2013, The Group recorded a net deficit of RM627,000compared to a lower deficit of RM176,000 in 2012.

The increase in deficit is mainly contributed by:

• Increase in the administrative expenditure namely repair and maintenance of RM116,000, bad debts written off with respect to terminated members of RM51,000, professional and legal fees of RM90,000 and personnel emoluments and benefits due to the back-dated salaries of RM119,000.

• Increase in fund from club activities by RM168,000 mainly due to increase in the number of activities organized for the members.

However, the increase in expenditures is offset by the increase in operation income namely increasein entrance fees of RM22,000 and interest receivable on overdue members’ account of RM83,000.

LEGAL & CONSTITUTIONAL RULES1) KL Sessions Court Summons No. 52-11252-03/2012 between Benjamin Siew Sau Chee (representing the Club as the Plaintiff) against Chan Chow Wang, Rattan Singh, Ong Liang Beng and Hor Ah Kow. The claim is to recover the sum of RM25,000.00 which the four (4) former General Committee members who had purportedly utilized to fund their PERSONAL suits against the Club.

On 3rd April 2014, the KL Session Court judge had delivered her decision in favour of The Club. Specifically, the 4 Defendants had been ordered to refund the RM25,000.00 to the Club and costs had been allowed against two of the Defendants. The Court had also rejected the Defendants’ counterclaim for the refunds of the penalties and costs paid for the committal proceedings and for alleged damages suffered due to embarrassment and humiliation.

Three of the four defendants have filled an appeal against the decision. The Appeal is in progress.

Mr Chan Chow Wang is seeking the Court’s intervention to reverse the three (3) years suspension which the Club had imposed against him.

As directed by the Hon High Court Judge, The Club – represented by the President, Mr Winson Han, the Secretary, Mr Chong Kim Teck, General Committee Member Mr SK Chow, our General Manager, Mr Alex Chan, and our Solicitor – attended a mediation hearing on 23rd December 2013 with Mr Chan Chow Wang in the presence of the Hon High Court Judge. At that hearing, the Club and Mr Chan Chow Wang agreed to a Consent Order as follows:

(a) That the suspension of three (3) years against Mr Chan Chow Wang shall remain and be upheld;

(b) That the Club shall, however, suspend the three (3) years’ suspension, whereby Mr Chan Chow Wang will be allowed to visit the Club again from 15th March 2014 and to utilise all the Club’s facilities like any ordinary Member;

(c) That Mr Chan Chow Wang shall not be entitled and is barred from holding office as a general committee member or in any sub-committees of the Club until 31st December 2015;

(d) That Mr Chan Chow Wang shall pay the cost of RM1,000, and

3) In response to the calls by Members at the AGM held on 29th September 2013 (reiterated at earlier AGMs), the General Committee was given the responsibility to study and propose appropriate changes to our Constitution in order to improve and bring it up to date. The General Committee in turn tasked the Legal, Constitutional and Rules Sub-Committee to take on the significant role to amend the Constitution. The Constitution was last revised in August 2000, and then only with some relatively minor amendments.

MEMBERSHIPThe Membership and PR Committee’s (MPRC) primary role is to interview all applicants in order

to maintain the standards of membership of the Club. Applicants who meet the criteria arerecommended to the General Committee for final approval.

During the period under review (June 2013 to March 2014), the MPRC conducted eight (8) setsof membership interviews. A total of sixty-six (66) applications were processed and approvedas follows:-

Promoting Membership

The MPRC also has responsibility for recommending ways to increase membership. As Membersmay be aware, the Club has for a very long time had a significant number of unsold TerminatedMemberships. In order to try to boost membership and reduce these, the MPRC proposed and theGeneral Committee agreed in November 2012 to offer special promotional rates for membershipspurchased from the Club.

As reported last year, these discounts, together with the special Entrance Fee of RM5,000 for Members’ Children (2nd Generation) and Siblings, had a significant positive impact on the sales of Terminated Memberships, which fell from 228 to 196 by June 2013. This positive trend hascontinued, with unsold Terminated Memberships falling again to 173 by March 2014. However,reducing this number much further – and achieving the ultimate goal of eliminating it– is likely to prove increasingly difficult, and requires fresh efforts and initiatives.

Also at the end of March 2014, the total Membership roll of The Raintree stood at 1,835, sub-dividedas follows:-

Members’ Introduction Nights

The MPRC also organises Members’ Introduction Nights (MINs), at which new Members are formallyintroduced to the General Committee and receive their full-fledged membership cards from the President. Six (6) Members’ Introduction Nights were held in the period under review, as follows:-

AR_2013.indd 54 29/8/2014 17:56:52




2. Basis of Preparation (Cont’d.)

(a) Statement of Compliance (Cont’d.)

The general committees expect that the adoption of the above standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application except as discussed below:

MFRS 9: Financial Instruments

MFRS 9 reflects the first phase of work on the replacement of MFRS 139 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in MFRS 139. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to MFRS 9: Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in March 2012, moved to the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. The adoption of the first phase of MFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group and the Club’s financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of the Group and the Club’s financial liabilities. The Group and the clubs are in the process of making assessment of the impact of the adoption of MFRS 9.

(b) Basis of Measurement The financial statements of the Group and the Club are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated in the summary of significant accounting policies.

(c) Functional and Presentation Currency

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the functional currency of the Group and the Club.

(d) Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of the Group and the Club’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets or liability affected in the future.

(i) Judgements made in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the Group and the Club’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

AR_2013.indd 55 29/8/2014 17:56:52




3. Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Group entity.

(a) Basis of Consolidation

(i) Subsidiary

The Club is the beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Raintree Developments Berhad (“RDB”), a company incorporated in Malaysia. The shares are registered in the name of HSBC (Malaysia) Trustee Berhad who acts as trustee for the Club in accordance with a Trust Deed dated 26 January 1983. The trustee was changed to OSK Trustees Berhad on 12 March 2013.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Club and of RDB. RDB is consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values of RDB’s net assets is reflected as goodwill or negative goodwill as appropriate.

Investment in a subsidiary is stated in the Club’s statement of financial position at cost less impairment losses.

RDB does not draw up an income statement as all expenses incurred by RDB are borne by the Club. The Club provides funds to RDB as and when required to enable RDB to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

(ii) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Recognition and Measurement

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment except for freehold land are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual

assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d.)

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment (Cont’d.)

(i) Recognition and Measurement (Cont’d.)

major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(ii) Subsequent Costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income and expenditure statement as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Freehold land is not amortised. Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss as incurred on the straight-line basis over the estimates useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.

The estimated useful live for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Building 50 years Improvements 5 years Furniture, fittings and office equipment 5 years Lighting, general equipment and machinery 5 years Kitchen and bar equipment 5 years Slot machines and sports equipment 5 years

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

AR_2013.indd 57 29/8/2014 17:56:52




3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d.) (c) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units (“CGU”)).

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case the impairment is also recognised in other comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

(d) Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group determines the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.

AR_2013.indd 58 29/8/2014 17:56:52




3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d.)

(d) Financial Assets (Cont’d.)

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include interest and dividend income. Interest and dividend income on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or other income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current. Financial assets that is held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas financial assets that is not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on the settlement date.

The Group has not designated any financial assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. The Group’s loans and receivables include other receivables and cash and bank balances.

Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current.

(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other financial asset’s categories.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that impairment losses and losses on monetary instruments and interest calculated using the effective

AR_2013.indd 59 29/8/2014 17:56:52





(d) Financial Assets (Cont’d.)

(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets (Cont’d.)

interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profit or loss when the Group and the Club’s right to receive payment is established.

Investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date.

The Group has not designated any financial assets as available- for-sale financial assets.

A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

(e) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

(i) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

AR_2013.indd 60 29/8/2014 17:56:52





(e) Impairment of Financial Assets (Cont’d.)

(i) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost (Cont’d.)

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are impaired.

If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss.

Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of pledged deposits.

(g) Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.

AR_2013.indd 61 29/8/2014 17:56:52





(g) Financial Liabilities (Cont’d.)

Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139, are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.

(i) Other financial liabilities

The Group’s other financial liabilities include trade and other payables.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(i) Taxation (i) Current tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

AR_2013.indd 62 29/8/2014 17:56:52





(i) Taxation (ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

- where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

- in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:

- where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

- in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the

AR_2013.indd 63 29/8/2014 17:56:52





(i) Taxation (Cont’d.) (ii) Deferred tax (Cont’d.)

underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(j) Employee Benefits

(i) Short term benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave, maternity and paternity leave are recognised when the absences occur.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

The Club’s contribution to the statutory pension funds are recognised as an expense and are charged to the income and expenditure statement in the period in which the related service is performed. The Club makes contributions to the Employee Provident Fund in Malaysia, a defined contribution pension scheme. Once the contributions have been paid, the Club has no further payment obligations.

(iii) Defined Benefits Plan

The Club operates an unfunded defined benefits scheme for eligible employees and a provision is made for all eligible employees based on the terms as stipulated in the Collective Agreement between the Club and Club Employees Union Peninsular Malaysia.

The Club’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of the future benefits that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods and that benefit is discounted to determine the present value. Any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the balance sheet date on high quality corporate bonds that has maturity dates approximating the terms of the Club’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

AR_2013.indd 64 29/8/2014 17:56:52





(i) Taxation (Cont’d.) (iii) Defined Benefits Plan (Cont’d.)

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised as an expense in the income and expenditure statement on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefit become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised immediately in the income and expenditure statement.

(k) Fair Value Measurements

From 1 January 2013, the Group adopted MFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement which prescribed that fair value of an asset or a liability, except for share-based payment and lease transactions, is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

In accordance with the transitional provision of MFRS 13, the Group applied the new fair value measurement guidance prospectively, and has not provided any comparative fair value information for new disclosures. The adoption of MFRS 13 has not significantly affected the measurements of the Group’s assets or liabilities other than the additional disclosure

(l) Revenue Recognition

(i) Goods Sold

Revenue from sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable and is recognised in the income and expenditure statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer.

(ii) Services

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income and expenditure statement upon completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period.

(iii) Subscriptions

Monthly subscriptions from members are recognised on accrual basis.

(iv) Interest Income

Interest income is recognised in the income and expenditure statement as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the asset.

24. Financial Instruments Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Exposure to credit and interest rate risks arise in the normal course of the Group’s operations. The nature of these risks and the Group’s management of these risks are summarised below:

Credit Risk

The General Committee monitors credit risk on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all potential members before the Group approves the new applicants as members.

As at the end of the reporting period, there was no significant concentration of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the Group is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group places cash balances with reputable banks to generate interest income for the Group. The Group does not use derivate financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk in cash and cash equivalents.

4.2 The President further explained that upon approval by the members, the respective sub-committees will finalise the details and thereafter the Tender Board will proceed with the tender exercise. The tender exercise will proceed with advertisements inserted in a local newspaper and onto the Club’s Notice Board to invite parties to tender. The Tender Board will evaluate each tender received and will recommend to the General Committee for approval of their selection. Each job will then proceed upon approval by the General Committee.

5. CLUB MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – RESOLUTION NO. 1

“That the upgrading of software and hardware of the Club Management System at the total cost of RM330,000.00 be approved”

5.1 Mr. Peter Lim Chee Min, (Mr. Peter Lim) the Club Treasurer, said his presentation of the Club Management System would touch on the hardware and software, the reasons for the proposed change and the budget.

5.2 He explained that the current software (known as IFCA 2.0) which rides on Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 was acquired in 2001 at the total cost of RM248,148.00. The software is used by the following sections: i. Finance (General Ledger & Accounts Receivable Module) ii. Membership iii. Food & Beverage (POS) iv Sports

5.3 IFCA 2.0 was upgraded to IFCA 2.2 in 2005. The Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 was also upgraded to Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 at the same time. The total cost was RM22,500.00.

5.4 In 2009 the software supplier informed the Club that they no longer support IFCA 2.2 version and Microsoft is also not continuing with their support for SQL 6.5. The General Committee at that time tabled a resolution for approval at the 2009 Annual General Meeting to change the system at an estimated cost of RM400,000.00. Approval was not granted due to lack of available information.

5.5 Mr. Peter Lim added in the past year the Club had experienced problems such as system crashing, unstable and corrupted database and had been warned by the software supplier that they may not be able to retrieve the backup copy. In view of these incidents and the refusal of the software supplier to provide maintenance and trouble shoot his sub-committee made the decision to recommend to the members for the upgrade.

5.6 As for Membership Section usage, Mr. Peter Lim said the current software does not provide for monitoring of term guest expiry dates, members’ children above the age of twenty six (26), and errors in display of members’ photograph in the personal file.

5.7 Mr. Peter Lim also reminded that there is also a need to upgrade the hardware items as the current ones are obsolete and will not be able to operate together with up to date software.

MINUTES OF THE EXTRAORDINARYGENERAL MEETING (Cont’d) 5. CLUB MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – RESOLUTION NO. 1 (cont’d)

5.8 In the Finance Module, Mr. Peter Lim said the current system is slow and can only generate standard reports such as Profit & Loss Accounts, Balance Sheet, Bank Reconciliation and Members’ Statement. Further reports required for management use or analysis is manually generated and the process is time consuming.

5.9 Mr. Peter Lim said the Food & Beverage Module and the Sports Module run on the obsolete Windows 98 operating system. As a result a number of reports are also manually generated.

5.10 Mr. Peter Lim gave a briefing on some of the advanced features of the new system such as:

i. The touch and go concept via use of access cards to facilitate members entering into the club, control of suspended, terminated and default members usage of Club facilities ii. Setting up of a Kiosk for members to check account balance, payments, court reservations etc. iii. Linking up food order, kitchen process and billing. iv. More efficient way in promotion of events and greeting messages to members. v. The integrated system allows for faster processing of members’ transactions and data.

5.11 Mr. Peter Lim said that the total estimated cost of RM330,000.00 is made up of the following three sections namely: i. Replacement and enhancement of existing software modules (RM133,000.00) ii. Hardware (RM155,000.00) and iii. Installation, migration and training cost etc. (RM42,00.00)

5.12. The warranty for software is three (3) months. Warranty for hardware is one (1) year.

5.13 The annual maintenance contract for software upon expiry of warranty period is priced at about 20% of the cost.

5.14 The service providers who have responded to the Club are;

i. ACSUSS system by Acsuss Technologies Sdn Bhd whose clientele list includes Saujana Golf & Country Club, Mines Golf & Country Club, Berjaya Hill Golf Resort and Flamingo Hotel ii. IFAC System by IFCA Solutions Sdn Bhd whose clientele list includes Royal Selangor Golf Club, Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort and Royal Lake Club. iii. CIMWIN system by DSI Marketing System who provides the system of Sri Damansara Club iv. Qisoft CMS System by Domain Oracle Sdn Bhd whose clientele list includes Shangri-La Tanjung Aru, Tasik Puteri Golf and Country Club, Kelab Golf Negara Subang

5. CLUB MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – RESOLUTION NO. 1 (cont’d)

5.14 The service providers who have responded to the Club are; (cont’d)

v. ICMS system by Sands Consulting Sdn Bhd whose clientele list includes IBFIM, Perbadanan Air Pahang, and EDP Consulting Group Sdn Bhd v. IQ Dynamic by a Singaporean company that provides for Royal Selangor Club

5.15 Mr. Aric Low Han Men (M/Ship No. 1741-7) asked whether the proposed sum includes cost of membership cards and if it does not, what will be the charge to members.

5.16 En Amzar Ahmad (M/Ship No. 1432-6) asked for the time frame to complete this exercise and the cost of card replacement to the members.

5.17 Mr. Peter Lim replied that upon finalisation of the tender process and General Committee’s approval he estimated the exercise will be completed within three (3) months. As for the cost of the card to be charged to members the General Committee has not made any decision.

5.18 Mr. Wong Zun Haur (M/Ship No. 0873-0) asked whether the Club had considered making minimal upgrading of the existing software and hardware to overcome issues stated. He also asked whether the installation of a POS Touch Screen is necessary for the current level of activities in the Club.

5.19 Mr. Peter Lim replied that a total upgrading is necessary in view of the obsolete status of the current software and hardware. As for the touch screen he replied that the Club has to upgrade in order to keep up with other reputable clubs in the country which are having such facility for members.

5.20 Dr. Michael Chiam (N/Ship No. 1522-8) voiced his concern over the funding of this RM1.3 million proposal to upgrade hardware and software. He reminded members to consider the source of funding and whether there would be any monetary benefits in the form of reduced operation cost derived upon implementation of the new system.

5.21 The President in his reply to the above concern said that the funding would be from the Club’s internal resources. There is currently an available sum of about RM4.4 million after deducting members’ deposit and staff retirement funds. As for benefits the Club should also look into the area of efficiency as well.

5.22 On the topic of funding from other sources rather than from the reserves as mentioned by Dr. Michael Chiam, the President highlighted that currently the Club main revenue is derived from members’ subscription, transfer fees and sale of terminated memberships, slot machine operations and a small contribution from Food & Beverage operations. These sources are just sufficient to maintain club operations in view of rising cost each year. Nevertheless there is a need to upgrade in order for the Club to keep up with the status it intended to be.

5.23 Ir Bruce Chan (M/Ship No. 1119-6), said the Membership Sub-Committee will support this proposal to upgrade the system as the features will assist the sale of terminated membership.

5.24 En Mior Mokhtar bin Mior Abu Bakar (M/Ship No. 0530-6) said although he supported the upgrading proposal he is concerned of any future increase in subscription. He would also like to know the basis of the estimate as stated in the proposal and what action will be taken if the actual cost exceeded the estimate.


AR_2013.indd 89 29/8/2014 17:56:56


5. CLUB MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – RESOLUTION NO. 1 (cont’d)

5.25 The President replied that the estimate is based on quotations received. On the subject of increase of members’ subscription he said he could not see any increase as a result of implementing the upgrading works.

5.25 Mr. Daniel Chi Kok Leong (M/Ship No. 1446-5) asked on what basis the estimate is made from the eight quotations. He preferred the eight quotations be tabled for members’ approval. He also said that there is insufficient numbers to justify benefits to be derived from the new system. He stated as example the coffeehouse operation.

5.26 Mr. Peter Lim replied that the estimate is based on average pricing of the eight quotations received.

5.27 The President in his reply to Mr Daniel Chi Kok Leong (M/Ship No. 1446-5) comments said that the Club has to operate the food & beverage section because there were no suitable caterers despite efforts made to source for one. The Club has been putting in a lot of effort to overcome any weaknesses and addressing problems in the current operation. The result is encouraging judging from members’ comments.

5.28 Mr. Gordon B. Reid (M/Ship No. 1096-4) said he supported the previous speaker Mr. Bruce Chan’s comment that the Club needs improvement to attract new members. He stressed that our current hardware and software is indeed very old and obsolete with no support.

5.29 Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0) would like to know the implementation priority if all the proposals are to be approved. He said he preferred the wordings in all the resolutions be written as; “up to RM330,000.00” instead of “at RM330,000.00”.

5.30 The President replied that in terms of priority most of the proposals are urgent. The Club will proceed with one or at most two at a time in order not to cause inconvenience to members.

5.31 Mr. Imran Nadarajah bin Abdullah (M/Ship No. 0881-1) asked whether there would be recurring expenses for the Club Management System.

5.32 Mr. Jimmy Chong Lip Chee (M/Ship No. 0480-2) proposed to replace cabling with wireless application and to consider leasing instead of outright purchase.

5.33 Ir Bruce Chan (M/Ship No. 1119-6) asked whether there is a technical sub-committee assisting the finance sub-committee to look into the technical aspect.

5.34 Mr. Peter Lim replied that the area of technical aspect has been looked into.

5.35 The President put forward the amendments to Resolution No. 1 for approval:

“That the upgrading of software and hardware of the Club Management System at a budgeted cost of not exceeding RM330,000.00 be approved”

5.36 On the proposal of Mr. R. Selvasingam a/l K. Rajugopal (M/Ship No. 0992-0) and seconded by Dr. Michael Chiam (M/Ship No. 1522-8) the amendments to the above resolution was unanimously approved by the House.

5.37 The President then put the amended Resolution No. 1 for the upgrading of software and hardware of the Club Management System to vote.

5.38 The House unanimously voted in favour of Resolution No. 1 and the President declared the amended resolution as carried.


AR_2013.indd 90 29/8/2014 17:56:56


6. SWIMMING POOL – RESOLUTION NO. 2

“That the upgrading of pool deck flooring, pool water filter and swimming pool lightings at the total cost of RM310,000.00 be approved”

6.1 Mr. Peter Yu Kok Ann (Mr. Peter Yu) informed the house that the Special Project Development Committee consisting of himself as the Chairman, En Ismail Hassan as his deputy, Mr. Terry Wong Mun Yew, Mr. Ben Kam Kwan Beng, Mr. Cheng Heng Jui, Mr. Pang Tse Shing and Mr. William Ho Chee Wang are responsible for this project.

6.2 Mr. Peter Yu explained that upgrading is required as the flooring around the pool has sharp edges. The original construction of the pool allows rainwater to flow back into the pool and the bacteria caused the pool water to turn green. This often happens especially when the old filter breaks down or is not working efficiently. Whenever this happens more chlorine is poured into the water to make it counter the green effect. There are also exposed soils that the rainwater washes into the pool. There are suspected busted pipes as evidenced by depressions in certain parts of the pool. Rust stains can be seen due to the not so efficient rusty pool filter.

6.3 Mr. Peter Yu further said there is also a need to remove the stone sittings near the coffeehouse as there are dangerous for children. Removing them will also create more space for poolside functions.

6.4 The total budget of RM310,000.00 is comprised of:

i. Pool deck repairs – RM198,000.00

ii. Lighting – RM20,000.00

iii. General repairs to grills and removal of round stones sitting area – RM23,000.00

iv. Replacing swimming pool filter – RM44,000.00

v. Variation Order (if required) – RM25,000.00

6.5 Mr. Yeo Sek Khoon (M/Ship No. 0189-2) asked whether the tiles inside the pool will be replaced.

6.6 Mr. Peter Yu replied that the tiles inside the pool will not be replaced as they are good quality tiles. Furthermore in order to change the tiles the water in the pool has to be emptied and it can be very difficult process. As for other areas it will be replaced with interlocking bricks and pebble wash.

6.7 En Amzar Ahmad (M/Ship No. 1432-6) suggested using an alternative material to interlocking bricks as they require sand that will also go into the pool.

6.8 Mr. Peter Yu explained that the interlocking bricks will be placed away from the pool and sloped towards the drains. Interlocking bricks are easier to remove for doing repair and maintenance work especially on the cables around the pool.

6.9 En Mior Mokhtar bin Mior Abu Bakar (M/Ship No. 0530-6) voiced his concern over approval for variation order and contingencies as he felt that they should not be included in the proposal.

6.10 Mr. Peter Yu explained that the variation order is required as there may be unforeseen situations that require additional spending and to go back to the House for approval will not be practical.


AR_2013.indd 91 29/8/2014 17:56:56


6. SWIMMING POOL – RESOLUTION NO. 2 (cont’d)

6.11 Dr. Michael Chiam (M/Ship No. 1522-8) agreed with Mr. Peter Yu’s reply that there should be some provision to cater for unknown incidence.

6.12 Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0) asked whether there would be another general meeting held to approve detailed specifications upon approving today’s tabled motions. The President replied that there will be no further general meeting.

6.13 Mr. Peter Yu replied that the figures presented are based on specifications obtained.

6.14 Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0) asked upon the House approving the spending of RM310,000.00 whether there will be any safeguards on the usage.

6.15 Ir Bruce Chan (M/Ship No. 1119-6) reminded him that there is still a tender process to go through after the House approved the motion.

6.16 Mr. Chan Kam Poh (M/Ship No. 1127-7) asked whether there would be another meeting to discuss on the award of the tender after the House gave approval to the motion. He indicated his concern that the maintenance staff should be trained by the contractor to look after the completed project and this requirement be included into the scope of the contract.

6.17 The President put forward the amendments to Resolution No. 2 for approval:

“That the upgrading of pool deck flooring, pool water filter and swimming pool lightings at the budgeted cost of not exceeding RM310,000.00 be approved”

6.18 On the proposal of Mr. Aric Low Han Men (M/Ship No. 1741-7) and seconded by Mr. Simon Tan Choe Hooi (M/Ship No. 1908-8) the amendments to the above resolution was unanimously approved by the House.

6.19 The President then put the amended Resolution No. 2 for the upgrading of pool deck flooring, pool water filter and swimming pool lightings to vote.

6.20 The House unanimously voted in favour of Resolution No. 2 and the President declared the amended resolution as carried.

7. SPORTS PAVILION – RESOLUTION NO. 3

“That the cleaning, repairing and restoration of the roof over the Sports Pavilion at the total cost of RM120,000.00 be approved”

7.1 Mr. Peter Yu briefed that the indoor tennis courts were built in 1983. The last repair was carried out by the previous General Committee to stop the roof from leaking at the cost of RM10,000.00.

7.2 The areas affected are tennis court No. 1, 2 & 3, squash court No. 3, 4, 5 & 6 and badminton court No. 1 as well as the area around the electrical distribution box near the squash courts.

7.3 The proposed scope of work includes cleaning, covering up leakages and weak points and finally applying a few layers of protective coating onto the surface. The guarantee period is 5 - 6 years.

7.4 Mr. Daniel Chi Kok Leong (M/Ship No. 1446-5) asked whether it is possible to replace the roof since it has been mentioned that it is more than twenty (20) years old.


AR_2013.indd 92 29/8/2014 17:56:57


7. SPORTS PAVILION – RESOLUTION NO. 3 (cont’d)

7.5 Mr. Peter Yu replied that the cost of replacing the roof is estimated to be around RM450,000.00. He believes members will prefer to do a coating instead due to the high cost. The coating will last at least five (5) years or even more.

7.6 Mr. Daniel Chi Kok Leong (M/Ship No. 1446-5) pointed out that the coating may last but not the roof and spending RM300,000.00 more will ensure another twenty five (25) years.

7.7 En Amzar Ahmad (M/Ship No. 1432-6) proposed to replace the entire roof as a permanent solution to the leakage.

7.8 Ir Bruce Chan (M/Ship No. 1119-6) proposed to add on steel backing that has the advantage of saving the cost of removing the existing roof as brought up some years ago. He added that roof coating seems to be a viable choice as basing on the previous repair cost of RM10,000.00 the roof lasted five (5) years.

7.9 Mr. Peter Yu highlighted that replacing the whole roof will cause a lot of disruption and members will have to endure the inconvenience.

7.10 Mr. Bruce Chan (M/Ship No. 1119-6) suggested the committee to look into adding a sheet decking onto the roof as an option.

7.11 Several members from the floor requested the General Committee to consider alternate methods and proposed to amend the original resolution to that effect. The President suggested that the original resolution with amendment made to the amount as in previous resolutions be put to the floor.

7.12 The President then asked for a vote on the amendment to be made on the original resolution which read as:

“That the cleaning, repairing and restoration of the roof over the Sports Pavilion at the budgeted cost of not exceeding RM120,000.00 be approved”

7.13 The House approved the amendment and the amended resolution was then put to vote. The result was twenty four (24) members voted in favour, twelve (12) against with three (3) abstained. The President then declared the resolution carried.

8. KENANGA COFFEE HOUSE/KITCHEN – RESOLUTION NO. 4

“That the upgrading of the kitchen area and its equipment, upgrading of bar area and adding a live station in the Kenanga Coffeehouse at the total cost of RM250,000.00 be approved.” 8.1 Mr. Peter Yu reported that the flooring, wall tiles and the exhaust system in the kitchen are in need of repairs and replacement. These weak areas have caused flooding, sanitation and cleanliness issues as well as the danger of a fire occurring.

8.2 He then gave the following breakdown of the total cost of RM250,000.00 stated in the proposal:

i. Kitchen Exhaust Fan and Ducting System (RM32,600.00)

ii. Kitchen Equipment (RM94,200.00)

iii. Kitchen Re-tiling Works (RM40,200.00)

iv. Bar Counter and Live Station (RM47,000.00)

v. Ice Machine (RM16,000.00)

vi. Contingency Sum (RM20,000.00)

8.3 Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0) proposed the House to approve the proposed budget. The Club will hold another general meeting on a later date to go through the details obtained based on the approved budget and give its approval. He proposed an amendment to the original resolution. The President advised that his proposal if approved would affect the previous three resolutions that have already been passed by the House earlier on in the meeting. The House will then have to revoke those resolutions. Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0) then proposed a motion to revoke the previously passed three resolutions. However no members seconded. He then raised another motion which read as follows:

“That approval of Resolution No. 4 be deferred to the next Extraordinary General Meeting when full details are in”

The motion was seconded by Mr. Chan Kam Pooi (M/Ship No. 1127-7) and was put to vote. The votes for the motion were ten (10) members voted in favour and twenty one (21) against with no abstention. The President declared that the amended resolution was defeated.

8.4 In his reply to Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0), Mr. Peter Yu said the Club has already on hand specifications and details from suppliers and consultants prior to this meeting.

8.5 The President then asked for a vote on the amendment to be made Resolution No. 4 which read as:

“That the upgrading of the kitchen area and its equipment, upgrading of bar area and adding in a live station in the Kenanga Coffeehouse at the budgeted cost of not exceeding RM250,000.00 be approved.

8.6 The House approved the amendment and the amended resolution was then put to vote. The result was twenty one (21) members voted in favour, none against with eleven (11) abstained. The President then declared the resolution carried.

9. TENNIS COURTS – RESOLUTION NO. 5

“That the resurfacing of six (6) outdoor tennis courts and the replacement of the tennis courts lighting facilities at the total cost of RM300,000.00 be approved”

9.1 Mr. Peter Yu reported that the last resurfacing was done in 2001 at a cost of RM49,800.00. The present lightings were installed in 2010 at a cost of RM56,000.00. He added that there have been complaints from members of the poor condition of the court surface (cracked and uneven surface) that affects their game. Other items that needed attention are the fencing rails, the electrical junction box, exposed conduits and constant electrical cut-off.

9.2 He then gave the following breakdown of the repair cost:

i. Resurfacing of six (6) courts - (RM134,680.00)


AR_2013.indd 94 29/8/2014 17:56:57

9.3 Mr. Robert Gerald Clarke (M/Ship No. 0141-0) enquired about the work schedule and whether consultations with relevant parties have been made.

9.4 In reply, Mr. Peter Yu said tennis members are enlisted in the Special Projects Development Committee to assist the project. The opinion and view of suppliers have taken into consideration.

9.5 Mr. Yeo Sek Khoon (M/Ship No. 0198-2) enquired on the durability of the resurfaced courts. In reply, Mr. Peter Yu said there should not be any cracks within the year but they may appear over the years due to wear and tear. As a rough indication the last resurfacing job was done in 2001 and it lasted up to current date.

9.6 Mr. Jimmy Chong Lip Chee (M/Ship No. 0480-2) asked for the date and cost that the indoor tennis courts were resurfaced. Mr. Peter Yu replied that it was six (6) years ago at a cost of RM150,000.00.

9.7 Dr. Michael Chiam (M/Ship No. 1522-8) commented that the outdoor courts have been resurfaced a number of times before. He added that the lights have also been refurbished.

9.8 Mr. Yeo Sek Khoon (M/Ship No. 0198-2) said he is concerned that there are too many projects and the Club may face a difficult task implementing them efficiently within the time period.

9.9 Mr. Peter Yu replied that the General Committee and the Special Project Development Committee have taken note of his concern during their meetings.

9.10 The President then asked for a vote on the amendment to Resolution No. 5 which now read as:

“That the resurfacing of six (6) outdoor tennis courts and the replacement of the tennis courts lighting facilities at the budgeted cost of not exceeding RM300,000.00 be approved”

9.11 The House approved the amendment and the amended Resolution No. 5 was put to vote. The result was thirty five (35) members voted in favour, no members voted against with four (4) abstained. The President then declared the resolution carried.
