OPEN LETTER
by email 23rd
December, 2012
Datuk
Stephen K S Foo,
Diocesan
Chancellor,
Anglican Diocese of Sabah.
Kota Kinabalu
Dear Sir,
Re: Affairs
of ADOS
I have yet
to receive/hear / reply from you my
earlier OPEN letter.
2. Needless to remind you as the Diocese
Chancellor as an independent officer according to the Constitution of the
Diocese of Sabah
3. To justify your salt and light of worth as
the Diocesan Chancellor since August, 2008, please redeem yourself with a
proper reply to this OPEN letter. When
you reply, I will forward it to all my mailing list for all to judge you.
4. There are many issues I want seek
clarification from the Bishop but the Bishop has absconded from his duty and
pushed it to you and so you have to do justice for the Diocese without fail. The Bishop is so scared to face me in the
civil court if he is so clean and you have carried his burden of mud in court
and elsewhere that you have really earned the moral victory with Ronny Cham.
5. So in this letter, I am to highlight some
key issues in the press, the dialogues on 15th October, 2012, in
Court and in Kuching etc. I hope you
will tell the truth like the recalcitrant Bishop wrote he did everything in
truth. Needless for me to quote any
biblical verses when we handle secular matters.
It is like what the Bible says “Don’t use the name of God in vain”.
6. The several issues here are all the
members and the beneficiaries are very concerned at the stage of rottenness in
ADOS.
6.1
Your performance in public is questioned as
what you did or did not do in the All Saints’ Cathedral AGM on 1st
April, 2012 when the acting Chairman was illegal hence the AGM was a nullity
and scared to let the High Court to deal with that.
6.2
Your
performance is again questioned with the Diocesan Synod 2012 held in August/September,
2012 which was unconstitutional in several factors and yet what did you do
about this? If you were also missing,
you should have advised the recalcitrant Bishop as the Chairman. The accounts were messy and rotten and yet the two years
2010 and 2011 were approved by Synod, which is acknowledged by the Anglican
House of Bishops headed by another ‘recalcitrant’
and ‘useless’ if not a ‘hypocrite’ Archbishop BL in South East Asia. Everyone knows the financial crimes as
already shown in the “mis-audited” accounts, and now we need to scrutinize all
6 years accounts from 2006 under the recalcitrant bishop AVCF.
6.3
“Bishop
under Probe” in Daily Express of 17th July, 2012.
Was you the very clever person who acknowledged that the anonymous Bishop
was Anglican and you demanded the newspaper to publish your fully reply and
instead a skeleton reply was given by DE
in a letter on 21st July, 2012.
Did you get an apology from Daily Express? If not, why did not you sue DE?
The Daily Express also did not publish your complete press release and
you have to search your conscience as others have judge the Anglican Diocese
under the dubious spiritually anointed leader as recalcitrant.
6.4
In the “Bishop under probe”, one of the issue was
the purchase of properties in Thailand. If you want the Daily Express to
believe you, then show all the proof to clear the alleged ‘criminal’ doubts. The Bishop did publish a pastoral letter on 21st
July, 2012 to admit the ‘criminal’
breach of trust for one property only when several properties worth more than
RM1m were registered in the personal name of the Bishop using God’s money. What is there to threaten to sue Daily
Express?
6.5
What
about the purchase of the property in Tenom for RM365,000 (now inflated) and in
the dialogue on 15th October, 2012, you further misled the aggrieved and angry
members and beneficiaries with your funny and foolish replies that you did not
receive anything from the good lawyers handling the S&P Agreement. Why didn ’t you tell the people that it is
solely the deed of recalcitrant Bishop and the AVCF did not consult you. Why
AVCF was quiet seated on your left?
Silence means what here?
6.6
What
about the purchase of the Sipitang agriculture land for RM850,000 at a very
much inflated price on 23 December, 2009?
Did you handle this deal? Is it
CL or NT and if NT, whose name is in the title deed? Please give me the title number. If every
thing was properly documented, how can there be miscommunication as alleged by
AVCF?
6.7
What
about the Visa Fund of RM85,000 said to be a deposit in Thailand? Were you consulted? Now is the deposit
returned to the ADOS with interest earned?
7. It is seen in the internet that quite a
few Bishops have been taken to the Civil Court by the Diocese Synod, the
Diocesan Standing Committee for whatever such similar offence and breaches of
trust. Many had been convicted even before the E-Court was convened. Once convicted, such Bishops would be
removed.
8. So you as the Diocesan Chancellor and an
independent officer of ADOS have you considered any such action in paragraph 7
above? Instead what we see from your
performance, you have sought moral victory not for the Diocese and the members
and beneficiaries but for personal self gratification or whatever
9. If you have not done anything expected of
you as an adviser in paragraph 7 above, would you have done justice for all in
the Anglican Diocese of Sabah and beyond when you were in Kuching on 28th
November, 2012 as an unreliable officer in BISHOPGATE.
10. From your performance so far, you can mislead
others and I call on you to search your conscience now.
11. To redeem yourself as a last resort, would
you recommend the Diocesan Synod of Sabah and the Standing Committee be
disbanded to path the way for a proper resolution of the prevailing crisis now
worsening.
12. About the issues I raised in paragraph 6,
can you arrange all the documentary proof to prove yourself and the bishop are
free from any wrong doings or breaches of trust?
13. We can have a forum with the documents on
the table with members and beneficiaries of ADOS within two weeks from
today. Please contact me on 012-8380897.
Wish Jesus
Christ a very happy Birthday.
