Lest we forget, let us look at what Resolution 1 means.
Point 1: A PROMISE to work security into every project undetaken by SRA Committee like they have been doing all this while.
Point 2: Another PROMISE to continue to do so without asking members for money specially for security. Like they have been doing all this while.
Point 3: Another PROMISE not to accept funds from anyone else. Like they have been doing all this while.
Point 4: Another PROMISE not to expose members to outsiders who may "threaten" them. Like they have been doing all this while.
Orang Seputeh must ponder: Why the need for such a special resolution in the name of the SRA itself (note resolution on letterhead of SRA, not any individual member) if they have been doing this all this while?
Orang Seputeh must also ponder: Isn't security and welfare of members and Seputeh community at large already a "given"? (Please read Clause 4.3 and 4.4 of SRA Constitution). Why must there be a special resolution this time?
Orang Seputeh saw the "light": It is because the existence of SSTF put the focus on security that people become "security-conscious" though sadly defensively so. Cheers to Robert Quah and team for this initiative has already achieved the objective. But for not being docile and obedient. So, this Friday's AGM will see not 1 but 2 resolutions. Knotty, knotty :)
More on resolutions later...
In conclusion, let us work together. So what if people disagree, let's agree to disagree but get the job done -- paid or unpaid.
With apologies to Deng Xiao Ping: Never mind if the white cat is not paid and the black cat is paid, as long as both cats catch the rats. Let us not focus on checking which cat, whose cat and who pays the cat to the extend that "while the cat's away, the mouse comes out to play"!

To me, it means they are running scared and desperate. So they twist the factual situation like knaves and put together a non-starter resolution to hoodwink the uninformed.
I think all good Seputeh citizens will puke on it... but then not many are members. I am not a member of SRA and I bloody well dont regret it.
They are a clique of people who just want to shiok sendiri... telling everyone how great and wonderful they have been doing.
SSTF is wasting time with them.
Sudah Fed Up After Umpteen years
I am shocked by the audacity of what SRA Committee is now saying they will do.
I am NOT a member and I only saw this resolution on your blog.
But I HAVE BEEN HERE MANY YEARS and I don't see them doing anything at all.
At least Robert Quah and team created attention on security and many crooks avoided us for a while.
Now maybe they will come back...

What is wrong with you all? Can't you all just talk to each other?
You should both work together for security.
Forget all these resolutions. Get down to work and keep the criminals away.
Pay or no pay also can.
Fed Up with SSTF and SRA
