Written Q & A for ASC on 29 Jun 2014

Someone sent me an email on the voting at the adjourned aGM

I counted only 55 hands.  The staff mentioned 63 and Dean Chak mention 89.  Didn't you hear them?

AVCF is guilty of all crimes in the evidence of his modus operandi.

1.                  The Good Samaritan’s experience of crime is still valid to justify this claim of his guilt.

2.                  When he moved to Kota Kinabalu as the Bishop in 2005, he brought along most of his staff from Tawau’s SPC.  If we accuse him of this, he will deny it and say KK staff wanted to resign.  Hence two ex staff were complainants of his ill treatment of staff.

3.                  When he wanted to set up All Saints Anglican Academy, he had find the excuse to close down All Saints’ Kindergarten with very short notice  and deny it that there is a link between ASAA and ASK as he wanted his unqualified wife as illegal Principal of ASAA, and not as Principal of ASK.  His wife drew a very fat salary without the required qualification.

4.                  He had to ask the sole gardener of many years of volunteer to go and then set up a dummy system whereby he and his proxies would collect salaries since 2007 for 4 gardeners, 4 cleaners too excessive in 2014 and earlier years.  Isn’t this a crime of stealing public fund and God’s money?  So how can explain such wastage of excessive workers?  So we need to go back to SPC to check on those workers in such list.

5.                  He want to enhance his greedy ego, by building big buildings for kickbacks like the Kokol mountain’s Prayer Summit at excessive costs when there was no piling, and now he want to build the House of Celebration in ASC ground to cause ASC to go bankrupt.  Even with the scale down size, it is still a white elephant as long AVCF is around.

6.                  We have seen in the allegations as how AVCF would buy high prices and sell cheap so that he can get the kickbacks by the price differentials.  The PAC report once full disclosed in the decision of the Appeal Court would confirm this.

7.                  Why he bought so many cars for ADOS and ASC when there are no matching drivers and users is ill in the mind of serving his ego and not serving God.

8.                  AVCF is robbing God with his Diocesan Assessment when the bible says his storehouse is the church and ADOS is not the storehouse and find the good way to rob God of the fund in churches by charging 10% in Administration fee when what is the role of ADOS in this aspect?

9.                  Now it is understood, all his family is working in ADOS and they are so stupid not to be able to get jobs outside.

10.             AVCF transferred ASAA from ASC in 2010 to ADOS and rob God for his own benefit.

 The secretary bore ill will when she told the congregation in BM that ASC is not registered under ROS and I wish it is so so that there is someone to regulate us rather than the very sick and eveil AVCF who had thrown all the good order of God into the rotten dustbin of signal hill or sulaiman.   We cannot abuse the privilege given to ASC for self regulation to do hanky panky.

So the best we can do now is to request an EGM to vote out everyone including the Dean and PCC to put the house in order rather than wait till march 2015.


ASC as the mother church 50 years earlier than the Diocese of Sabah is now eaten by AVCF as the rotten bishop. 

ASC is such rotten that it is a very sad precedent set that the accounts is still in the "boil" after the socalled illegal/ghost auditor had presented the socalled audited account as still far off from the true and fair.  The predicament and the crisis can only be solved with the departure of AV & family, AV & cronies, AV and the stupd fools so that Anglican Sabah can be restored to proper order.  I wish some responsible persons like the ex-acting Dean and the present Dean can be jailed, but hopefully not penalised heavy financially for all the illegal activities.  Imagine, if ASC is a ROS body, the account not ready to be approved would be struck out.  So God is still very kind to us to go the long journey to bring Glory to God but not the easy way hence a lot of sacrifice is still needed from the members .

Dear Dean,                                                        29/6/2014

The two major items I raised at the  adjourned AGM (29 June, 2014) are very important for the welfare/status of ASC vis-à-vis ADOS.

If the relevant authorities take action, the person/persons responsible could cause great headache to the Anglican church and it would be too late for such consequences.  The consequences can be jail sentence, heavy penalties, and a very bad image/name of Anglican church.

My effort would not stop at the adjourned AGM and don’t blame me for further action as desirable to resolve whatever crisis in ASC.

Please take action accordingly,

Joshua

Audit & Accounts shortcomings

1.        The appointment of the honorary auditor for 2013 [not done at AGM 2013] has been at variance from the norm and sort of appointed at the Extra General meeting [9/2/2014] illegally.  Why we have problem to get volunteer is known to all.

2.        Then the Dean and Hon Treasurer provided a signed account for 31 December, 2013 with the Balance Sheet as unbalanced for AGM 2014 on 6/4/2014.

3.         For the Financial report for audited accounts for 2013 by Crowe Horwath, we observe that in the content page – Report of the Honorary Auditors, then page 3, then page 4 but in page 6, we have an expenses item “Auditors’ remuneration” of RM5,400 when honorary is FOC.

4.        In the same Financial report, and in page 4, we are now informed of the auditor who had done the audit to have signed the audited accounts and the few errors  namely in the page 6, the words “Audited” and “Actual” were unnecessary, Waiver of liabilities  did not have a note to the accounts, page 8 1. General information – the parish was registered? established under the Constitution of the Anglican Diocese of Sabah – was incorrect. [I think we are non legal entity is Anglican Province of South Sea Asia was once ruled “non legal entity” in the High Court but rectified by the Court of Appeal.]

5.        note 7, page 12 “Fixed deposits with a licensed bank” when it should be “Fixed deposits with licensed banks”.

6.        Note 25 (page 19) in the “Sunday breakfast” included undisclosed amount of RM2,100.

7.        Note 29, (page 20), the figure of Accumulated fund was in error.

Without the signature of the qualified auditor, the poor quality of the Financial Report indicate that an unqualified accountant did the job and yet the fee of RM5,400 for a report without a schedule of fixed assets.  Hence the fee is not justified.

Final search for Justice & Truth

Further to all the answers I received from the Honorary Treasurer Mr Bobby Tan first for the unaudited account in early April, 2014 and just this week after the audited accounts, I would like to two major demands namely as follows:-

1.        I call the PCC convene an investigation into the category of human resources expenses in particular Clean and guards salaries /allowances which itself is a misrepresentation as this item include wages to 4 gardeners namely RM43,080; 4 cleaners RM44,880; 2 guards RM27,720 [RM115,680] plus allowance and overtime of RM6,833.26 making it a grand total of RM122,513.  

1.1   The same item had been increasing  RM49k [2007]; RM68k [2008];   RM  ?       [2009]; RM86k [2010]; RM100k [2011]; RM104k [2012], when nothing had been changed since 2006 except there was only one volunteer gardener when Joseph Kong was asked to go.  The garden in ASC is not any much different since 2006 when there were fruits bearing trees and now no fruits bearing trees.  I also think 4 cleaners are too many.

1.2   The following areas should be scrutinized:-

1.2.1  Are the workers local or dubious citizens?

1.2.2  Do the foreigners have work permits?

1.2.3   Are the payment vouchers available?

1.2.4  On pay day, the workers must come in person with identity cards to receive their pay.

1.2.5  Are these workers work fully for the ASC?

1.3    Lets settle this suspected hanky panky or questioned frauds within the church now within one week or even tomorrow with a committee of 5 from here including myself.  

2.    Review of the Diocesan Assessment since 2007 with specific reference to the administration charge (10% for doing what?) and the transfer of All Saints Anglican Academy to the Anglican Diocese in 2010 and Appreciation Gift from ASAA of RM120,000 (page 14).  This review can be done by correspondence with the Hon treasurer.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

I had asked many questions from the Dean and the Treasurer and I don’t think we can get the real answers and so I propose the only forward is to make this statement at the adjourned AGM and then proceed to lodge Police as internal settlement is unlikely. This is actually getting worst with the “useless” Dean Chak.
