ILLEGAL CENTRAL DELEGATES

Illegal Central Delegates:

This is written with the intention of reminding the MCA Steering Committee of the Federal level to be cautious to ensure all Central Delegates voting for the coming Wanita and MCA are legally accepted delegates.

So far, I have not seen any Division Committee had performed their swearing-in ceremony to legalize their position even though the election to form Division Committee had been done.

Most of the Division Chairman, be it from the Wanita or MCA are not elected Central Delegates. They have the rights as Central Delegates by virtue of being the Division Chairman. If there was no swearing-in to confirm their acceptance of Chairmanship, then it is illegal for them to vote at the Federal level. Should this point is over-looked, problem may arise later and re-election may have to take place if there is a complaint and the Registrar of Societies directs so.

In the same manner, any Division Committee which did not carry out the swearing-in ceremony, receiving acceptance from its elected or appointed members, the Division Committee should not be recognized as legal.
