Sikh veterans association’s suspension lifted for AGM
Veteran affairs department says the annual general meeting to appoint a forensic auditor must be held as soon as possible.
The Malaysian Armed Forces Sikh Veterans Association's suspension has been lifted, and the association has been ordered to hold its annual general meeting (AGM) as soon as possible to appoint an independent forensic auditor. The mediation team from the Sikh veterans association met with veteran affairs department director-general Semaon Marjuki on Monday.
The department accepted the association's appeal to lift the suspension, provided that the AGM is held soon and includes the appointment of an independent forensic auditor to audit the association's financial statements for 2024 to 2026, with the Sikh veterans association covering the cost of the auditor's services. Semaon stated that the department received allegations of financial irregularities and a lack of transparency in the association's reports, which led to the suspension.
The Sikh veterans association will adhere to the department's conditions and cooperate with the auditing team as advised. The AGM has been scheduled for September 16.
