Dear Members,
Please be informed that The Registrar of Societies of Malaysia (ROS) has just approved the following amendment to constitution which was passed in the
58th MMA AGM which was held on 29th – 30th June 2018, in Royale Chulan Hotel, Kuala Lumpur:
CLAUSE 6 – ENTRANCE FEES, SUBSCRIPTIONS AND OTHER DUES
(8) Arrears of Subscriptions
(i) If any member fail to pay subscription for any year and this failure shall continue to persist on the 28th of February of that year, that member shall cease to
enjoy all the benefits and privileges available to or enjoyed by members in benefit immediately (and shall not be eligible to attend or vote at any meetings of the Association,
its Branches, Societies and Committees) and if such member shall:
(a) continue to fail to settle the subscription in arrears for that year when it fell due and the subscription in arrears remain outstanding on the 31st of
December of that year, he/she shall automatically cease to be a member of the Association SUBJECT ALWAYS TO Clause 5 (1) (ii); or
(b) settle the subscription in arrears for that year when it fell due before the 31st of December of that year, all benefits and privileges available to or enjoyed
by members in benefit shall be immediately restored and for avoidance of doubt, in such an event, the period of the membership of such member
shall not be taken to have been broken by virtue of the cessation of his/her membership prior to his/her settlement of the subscription in arrears within
that same year when it fell due.
(ii) Ordinary Members in arrears of subscriptions for two (2) months on the 28th of February each year shall have their names automatically removed from the
Electoral Roll and shall not be eligible to vote. If by 31st December of that year, if they have not paid their dues, then the member would have to re-apply to
join the Association as a fresh member, and the Council needs to approve the membership.
(iii) Members shall be notified by email or letter, of the removal of their names from the membership register.
(iv) All members of the Council, Branch and other Committees and Societies, must be members in benefit, as defined in Clause 6 (2) (iv), at the time of
appointment and throughout their respective tenures as office bearers.
Kindly note that the grace period for renewing MMA membership has been brought forward from 30th June to 28th February each year.
