As another year comes to an end, it gives me great pleasure to welcome all of you to our 27th Annual General Meeting on Saturday 2nd December 2017. I anticipate an overwhelming attendance in this forthcoming AGM as it is an election year and Members will come forward to exercise their voting rights.

I would like to thank the Management Committee Members and the Management Staff for their invaluable contributions and efforts to meet the high expectation of our Members.

Infrastructures and our facilities underwent an extensive facelift and development in 2017.

Raising the standard of our golf course has always been our priority so that it will further open the door of opportunities for the Club to be chosen as the preferred venue for golf tournaments of the highest level.

We have employed Mr T. Puvanaendran s/o A. Tharummadurai as Golf Course Superintendent on 11th September 2017.

There was remedial work performed on the Golf Course as well. Following the much appreciated analysis and recommendations of Mr Chok Moi Soon, Director of the Department of Irrigation and Drainage, we have addressed drainage issues which include dredging and removal of weirs in Sungai Siol Kiri, construction of underground drains in Demak Hole 10 and outlets in Siol Hole 3 and Demak Hole 12.

Tree cutting and trimming were performed to reduce risk of danger of damage during heavy rain and strong winds.

The year 2017 also witnessed a change in the Presidency of KGS. In accordance with the constitution of Kelab Golf Sarawak, by virtue of his appointment as new Chief Minister, YAB Datuk Patinggi (Dr.) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg is our new President.

IhavethepleasuretopresentKGS’s2016-2017annualreportwhichreflectsthetrueandamazingjourneywehadgonethrough together for the past one year. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the present MC members especially our Deputy President Tan Sri Datuk Amar Haji Morshidi bin Abdul Gani who has been the main driving force behind KGS, not forgetting the retiring club Captain Dr David Ling Sheng Tee, both have contributed their precious time and effort immensely for the betterment of KGS, the premier golf club in Sarawak.

Under the present MC line up, KGS continued to be managed well, tireless effort were put in to ensure the club’s limited resourceswerespenteffectivelyandefficiently.Similartopreviousyears,majorcostswerestilltheoverallstaffoverheadsandmaintenanceofthecourse&ground.Wehavealsoupgradedsomenongolfingfacilities,whichincludetenniscourt,badminton&squashcomplex’sroofing,detailsofwhichcanbefoundintheCaptain’sreportandtheauditedfinancials. Many of our club’s facilities have been around for more than 20 years, therefore, some major upgrading and repairs are required. These include generator set, Siol Demak buggy path, trees trimming, main road repairs, centralized air-conditioningand theclub’sperimeter fencing just tonamea few.Theclub isalsoconsideringbuyingdefibrillators,alife saving equipment in case of heart attack incident, as suggested by some of the senior club members. KGS being a membership club, its major revenue is mainly derived from members’ monthly subscription fees. This year, the club was still able to make small operating surpluses of approximately RM400,000.00 as some repairs and replacement were held back. In view of the escalating costs & overheads, present members’ fee structure and other sources of income need to be reviewed, which were highlighted during the last AGM.

Another major item that club needs to invest over the next two years is the aging batteries of our 140 buggies. The buggies were bought four years ago and the batteries can usually last 3 to 4 years only. Each battery costs around RM800.00 one buggy needs 6 batteries, therefore, total replacement costs for 140 buggies is estimated to be RM670,000.00 excluding GST. KGS is a premier golf club that we are all proud of, it has become a second home to many club members and staff. Thus, your continuous support as well as timely feedback and constructive suggestions through various chat groups, emails and suggestion book are very much appreciated.

Once again, I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who has contributed directly and indirectly in making KGS to what we are today. As 2017 is an election year for KGS, the club needs more volunteers to offer themselves as MC members in the coming AGM which is scheduled on 2nd December 2017. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2018.

MINUTES OF THE 26TH KGS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (cont’d)

He informedmembers that the latestfinancialstatusandprogressof theKGS(Club) ismentioned in theClubTreasurer’sfinancialreportandClubSecretary’sreport.HebrieflyrecalledthehistoryofKGSwhichstartedwithonly 9 holes in 1990’s and with the support from the state government, KGS became an 18-holes golf course comprising Santubong & Matang Nines. Later, KGS had enhanced its facilities further and developed to a 36-holes golf course with further strong support from Sarawak state government.

He assured members that the present Management Committee (MC) has been working hard for the best interest of KGS. The Committee is also committed in coming up with various solutions to make KGS a playable golf course during most time of the year.

The Chairman recalled that he has been a KGS member for a long time and even served as MC Member under the leadership of many Captains and he himself also served as Club Captain once and hence, he is well aware of the challenges,issuesandproblemsfacedbyKGS.Headdedthatgettingfinancialresourcesisthemainchallengeasthe maintenance costs has been increasing over the past years. He hoped that members can understand and offer their help and be part of the solutions.

The Chairman informed the members that the MC has invited the Director from The Department of Irrigation and Drainage Sarawak, Mr. Chok Moi Soon to present an overall perspective presentation to assist KGS to address drainage and irrigation issues for better understanding & possible solutions. He also hoped that members can also provide some inputs along the way.

He cautioned that there is a high possibility that KGS may need to raise the subscription fees, which he personally disliked this option since it will burden the members, for now, the club will try to reduce the expenditure, though it is only a temporary measure. He said, for a 30 years’ old club, maintenance costs such as roof repairs and other wear and tear repair works cannot be avoided.

Chairman concluded his welcoming speech by thanking the members for attending this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Matters Arising

2.4.1 Buggy Fee

Mr. Sylvester Ajah Subah (S0329) questioned the Club Secretary why the resolution on buggy fee passed in the 2013 AGM was not carried out. The Secretary replied that the matter was addressed during the last AGM. Mr. Sylvester Ajah then commented that the statement made by the secretary on item 2.5.1 was not correct and that in any organization the AGM is regarded as the highest decisionauthority.ResolutionspassedintheAGMarefinal,conclusiveandsupreme.Theycanonlybe challenged in the court of law. The MC has no power or authority to veto or interfere with the resolutions passed. In this respect the MC had been acting unlawfully in suppressing the fundamental rights and interests of the members. He stressed that his statement on this matter should be accurately recorded.

The Club Secretary explained that in the last AGM it had already been mentioned that if the buggy feewastobefixedatRM50.00theClubwouldincurlossesinitsoperation.Heagreedthatsomeoneshould second the Chairman’s statement that the matter be put to rest.

Mr. Sylvester Ajah pointed out that what the Secretary said was irrelevant. It is not a matter of questioning the authority of the MC to make rules under the Constitution but once a resolution has been passed in an AGM the MC would have no alternative but to implement it. It is irrelevant whether the Club is going to incur losses or not.

TuanHajiSophiibinHajiNawi(S1281)thensoughtclarificationfromtheLegalAdvisoronRule24ofthe Constitution which deals with the powers of the MC.

The Legal Advisor, Mr. Mark Voon Wui Tat (V1433) explained that although there was a motion in

the 2013 AGM which was properly circulated, tabled, debated and a resolution passed calling for theCommittee tofix theBuggy feeatRM50.00, the resolution fall shortofanamendment to theConstitution which requires the Management Committee to levy the Buggy fee at RM 50.00 like the provision in the Constitution relating to the subscription fee and entrance fee. Without any amendment totheConstitution,theissueoffixingtheamountofbuggyfeeremainsamatterfortheManagementCommittee to decide in the day to day running of the Club. The resolution passed in 2013 remains just an opinion of the members as explained during the 2014 AGM even though it was raised again in 2014, 2015 and 2016. And Mr. Mark Voon Wui Tat further commented that the Management Committee had explained the reason why the buggy fee stays at RM 60.00 in the previous AGM.

Mr. Sylvester Ajah Subah (S0329) pointed out that when the matter had been brought up in the AGM andwasdiscussedandbeingputtotheboard,thematterisfinal.Hefurthermentionedthatthemotiondoes not question on the authority of the Management Committee to make rules and the statement thatwasmadeisnotfactual.ThedecisionoftheManagementCommitteeisfinalonanymatterandif the Committee thinks that the matter is not proper, they should not have allowed the matter to be broughtupintheAGM.AnythingthathasbeendiscussedintheAGMisfinalandconclusive.

Mr. Mark Voon Wui Tat advised that there is no need for another motion and as the composition of the Committee changes every 2 years and members would have a chance to elect a new Management CommitteethatmaybeagreeabletofixthebuggyfeeatRM50.00.

Mr. Sylvester Ajah Subah (S0329) replied to the Legal Advisor’s explanation by saying that the motion does not question the Committee to make rules and further commented that any decision made in the AGMshouldbefinalandconclusive.

Mr. Jackson Lim Kim Boon (L3381) commented that the matter of buggy fee has nothing to do with the Constitution amendment. It does not warrant an amendment to the Constitution to decide on the rate of buggy fee. To solve the problem, he suggested that the MC put up a motion to declare null and void the resolution passed in 2013 AGM and call for an EGM to decide the matter.

TanSriChairmanclarifiedthatthebuggyfeeissuewasinfactdiscussedinthelastAGM.HoweverMr.JacksonpointedoutthattherewasnoofficialmotionputforwardinthelastAGMtodeclarethe2013resolution as null and void.

Mr. Chin Chia Chau (C2023) said that the reason for the AGM was called is to get the views of KGS members. He further mentioned that the Committee was elected to execute the views of members because they were elected to serve members. He explained that the underlining principle in any AGM is that the majority of members had voiced out a certain desire then the Management Committee should revert to members on the reason why certain decision cannot be carried out and then members can make a decision whether to agree not to pursue the matter. The fact that this was past decision and therefore if the members are still adamant about the buggy fee and insist that the matter be brought up again in this AGM, then the Management Committee has no choice but to address this issue, as KGS is a members’ Club and members have the authority or rights to pursue this matter. Should the Management Committee cannot convince members that RM 50.00 per buggy is not viable, then Management Committee just have carried out the decision as indicated by Mr. Jackson Lim Kim Boon earlier. Besides that, maybe the next step the Management Committee should do is to amend KGS’sConstitutioninordertofulfillmembers’desire.HestressedthatthereisnopointhavinganAGMif members’ opinion and decision are not respected. He would like the Management Committee to look at the underline principle of the whole decision.

The Club Treasurer explained that he agreed with Mr. Mark Voon. He stated that being elected here is to make the best decision for KGS. As such as the majority of members who wish to have RM 50.00 for the buggy fee, it is not practical.

Mr. Sylverster Ajah Subah (S0329) sought explanation from the Club Treasurer and said that in KGS’s Constitution, the Management Committee has the prerogative power. He also commented that the Committee has been abusing the power by suppressing the decision of the AGM. If the decision of the AGM was not implemented, meaning that the Committee veto and suppressed it.

TheClubTreasurerexplainedtoMr.SylvesterAjahSubahthathehadclarifiedtotheManagementCommittee in the MC meetings that the Management Committee should not abuse their prerogative power. What the Committee had done is fair and reasonable; members must also be reasonable and understanding.

Mr. Mark Voon Wui Tat (V1433) further commented that the Management Committee has no prerogative

power. The power of the Management Committee came from KGS’s Constitution. It is the constitutional power. They run and manage the Club in accordance to the Constitution which is stated in Rule 24.

TanSriChairmanstressedthatifmembersdonotwanttheManagementCommitteetofixthebuggy

fee, members would have to propose in the coming AGM to amend the Constitution. Member should lookattheClubTreasurer’sreportonthefinancialpositionoftheClubwhenquestioningwhetherthebuggy fee should be RM50.00 or RM60.00

Mr. Sylvester Ajah Subah (S0329) further commented that it is not about the fees but a matter of principle that the Committee has been acting unlawfully, to veto, and not to implement the decision of AGM which is the highest authority of the Club.

TanSriChairmanclarifiedthattheMCisguidedbytheviewsoftheClub’sLegalAdvisor. Mr. Chin Chia Chau (C2023) argued that the principle is very important. He said that if that principle is

not being followed, as the basis of making decision, then in future anybody can come out and overrule the AGM decision. Eventually, AGM will be irrelevant and there is no need for members to attend the AGM as any opinion or resolution passed would be futile. Whether AGM decision is supreme or it is irrelevant and that the Management Committee can overrule the decision made in AGM.

Tuan Haji Sophii Bin Haji Nawi (S1281) commented that he did not recall there was a statement from members that the Committee shall look and decide further into the matter as it was not reported in theminutes.HeagreedwithMr.SylvesterAjahSubahontheresolution.Ifitcomesfromthefloor,thenthe Committee will have to look into it, into the relevancy.

Tan Sri Chairman replied that he thought it has been agreed upon in the previous AGM that this matter beputtorestasthereasonfornotfilingthebuggyfeeatRM50.00hasbeenexplained.

Tuan Haji Sophii Bin Haji Nawi (S1281) highlighted on the Constitution item no. 24 (c) on the authority of the Committee.

The Captain responded by saying that the Constitution rules supreme and the Management Committee managedKGSbytheConstitution.Anyotherreasoning,prerogativemustbewithintheconfineoftheConstitution and the Constitution clearly states that the Management Committee has management control over the Club which includes full power to decide all issues relating to the Management of the Club. He commented that the resolution that was proposed should not be entertained because members are removing the power of the Committee to have control over the Management of KGS. He pointed out that he need to check on what has been recorded and documented at the subsequent minutes of meeting. He further mentioned that whatever the AGM decided, Management Committee need to look into again as there is a Constitution to be followed and unless there is a need to change the Club’s Constitution and for the betterment of the Club, then the current procedures need to be followed.

TheClubSecretaryelaborated for thebenefitof theMembers,by referring to theAnnualGeneralMeeting 2014-2015, page 10 on item 3.6, Minutes of the 24th KGS Annual General Meeting;

Mr. Sylvester Ajah denied that the motion on buggy fee was a public opinion instead it was just trying to counter on the buggy fee.

The Club Secretary responded that the Management Committee in their meetings had debated amongst themselves on the matter. Finally, the matter was left to Club Treasurer to work out on the cashflowwhetherthebuggyfeeshouldbefixedatRM50.00/RM55.00/RM60.00.Forthebestinterestof KGS, the Club treasurer then recommended that the buggy fee should be maintained at RM60.00.

The statement above was made in the Minutes of Meeting of the 24th KGS Annual General Meeting and was reported in last year’s AGM.

Mr. Stephen Kong Swee Meng (K0823) stated that he would like to see this buggy fee issue settled once and for all, as there will be no end to it if we keep arguing on principles and technicalities.

The power of the MC is clearly stated in the Constitution. In fact the MC had the power not to allow themotionofthebuggyfeetobeputupin2013sincethefixingofthebuggyfeeisanadministrativeissue. It was a mistake to allow the motion to be put up which was subsequently carried. According to the universal principle once a resolution is passed in an AGM the MC would have no choice but to implement it. He added that as human beings we all make mistakes so let us put it behind us and move forward. He felt that all members would be happy to see this issue settled.

Mr. Chin Chia Chau (C2023) commented on the principle that the Constitution can be changed as it is not cast in stone and it can be changed according to members’ desire. To use the Constitution to overrule the desire of members is not the principle how the whole thing operates. He felt that if the suggestion is not in accordance to the Constitution, the Committee has the right to stop, but that actually denied the fact that the Constitution can be changed. So, if the members desire the constitution be changed, the constitution needs to be changed. So, that is the principal. Management committee should not use the Constitution to overrule any decision in the AGM which mean to say that members have no rights to raise any issue at all. If the majority of members have an opinion that requested changes in the Constitution then the changes need to be made because the Constitution can be amended.

The Captain explained that when the Committee performs their function in accordance to the Constitution it does not implied that KGS’s Constitution is cast in stone. There is proper procedure to change the Constitution. If the members think that the power of the Management Committee needs to be reduced, the members shall have to pass the motion to change the Constitution but until then the Constitution shall have to be followed.

Mr. Chin Chia Chau (C2023) further mentioned that when an AGM is held and a majority decision is made, that decision is passed to the Management Committee to be implemented but should Management Committee is unable to implement that decision, then the members need be informed as they have the right to know the reason why it cannot be implemented. The Committee has to explain clearly the reasons and convince members that the matter should not be pursued. He further commented that this argument is necessary because of the process that has taken place is not to the satisfaction of members, who were not consulted. It is not about the authority of the Committee, he added.

The Club Secretary commented that the matter had indeed been discussed during last year AGM and the reason had also been explained to the members.

The Vice President commented that in last year’s AGM, it was agreed that this issue to be looked into again by the Management Committee. He mentioned that it had been explained and reference should be made to this year’s Club Treasurer’s Report whether RM 50.00 is viable. He commented that it is not that Management Committee disagree or throw out the resolution given during the AGM, management committee also needs to look into the overall budget of the club.

Tan Sri Chairman commented that this argument is basically on the technical ground whether the members who has attended the AGM have full power to decide whatever members proposed from the floor;theManagementCommitteeindeedhasbeenempoweredundertheConstitutiontocarryouttheir functions unless they have abused the power.

If the argument is about the technicalities, then there is no need for another resolution. And he referred to Mr Stephen Kong’s suggestion and mentioned that the matter should put to rest and members should agree to move forward. The members of the Management Committee will go for re-election every 2 years. He further advised members to put the matter to rest. If any of the provision in the Constitution need to be changed, members can bring it up in the next AGM and put it as a resolution to amend or vote in new Management Committee members.

TuanHajiSophiicommentedandsharedhislegalexperiencethatmotiononthefloorisnotabsolute

and can be overruled in any society. It is not an absolute rule. The committee can still deliberate on the matter.

Club Secretary expressed his assurance to all members that any motion and opinion stated in the AGM will be looked into diligently.

Tan Sri Chairman and Club Secretary then expressed their words of thanks to Stephen Kong, Jackson Lim, Chin Chia Chau and Sylvester Ajah Subah for their views. Tan Sri Chairman concluded that this AGM agreed to put this buggy fee matter to rest. Members are free to bring it up in a motion to amend theconstitutionifneededto.TanSriChairmanthenreconfirmedwithallmemberspresentwhetherthey all agree to put the matter to rest and all members present agreed accordingly.

2.4.2 Bankruptcy Member

Tuan Haji Sophii Bin Haji Nawi commented that there are members who are bankrupt and continue to use the facilities of the Club on their spouse membership. If the Club would like to make a search of the bankruptcy members it will be costly, as it will cost RM10.00 per member. He suggested that every new members and current members to give an undertaking that they are not a bankrupt and this will prevent unnecessary issue in the next year election.

He also suggested that Rules to be inserted in the Constitution that would deprive bankrupt members from utilizing the facilities. Based on the normal law practice, those who are sued bankrupt should be in the Insolvency list. He further commented that the Club can recover the money owed by members byreportingtotheInsolvencyDeptandfileinthedebtrecoveryformtorecoverthemoneyowedbymembers.

Tan Sri Chairman further suggested the Mangement Committee to look into the whole Constitution again which is already very old and may need latest updates.

2.4.3. Usage of the Driving Range by Non-Members

Tuan Haji Sophii Bin Haji Nawi (S1281) congratulated the Management Committee and Activities Staff for doing a good job. He noticed that the Club Captain, Club Secretary, Activities Manager and General Manager did come to the Driving Range to check the usage of driving range. He noticed that there is an overwhelming respond with 32 non members being listed on the notice board and charged RM30.00 for 3 months or RM50.00 for 6 months for utilizing the Driving Range facilities.

He hope the club can check the list again as some of the non members did not register themselves after 6 months.

He praised the Activities Manager referring to an incident where she pointed out to one of the outsider that he was not allowed to utilize the Driving Range even-though he is a member of the Senior Society from another Club and further mentioned that this is a private property and only members can utilize the facilities.

Tuan Haji Sophii would like the Club Legal Advisor to check the way RM30.00 and RM50.00 members are being termed. There is no provision for this type of Members in the club. There are only 3 types of Members which are welcomed. He also commented that there are outsiders selling fruits in the Club premise. He emphasized that the Club encourage outsiders to utilize the facilities but they need to follow the Club rules and regulations, the Club Management is entrusted to implement it. He hope that the club management can look into this matter.

Club Captain explained to Haji Sophii that these driving range users are not called KGS members but they are termed as KGS Driving Range members. We need to encourage people to register and utilize the Driving Range.

Tan Sri Chairman commented that the best solution to the issue is to control at the Main Gate and only memberscanenter.ForNon-members,theyhavetoleavetheiridentificationcardandtheirdetailstobe recorded at the Main Gate but this would discourage outsiders patronizing our F&B outlets.

2.4.4. Usage of the Golf Course

Mr. Jackson Lim commented on Captain’s Report, page 17, item No. 1.2 on the Golf Course usage. He mentioned that the month of February, there is a drop of 50% compared to the rest of the months. There has never been such a great drop in terms of course usage. He hoped the Captain’s Committee can look into this and further mentioned that the drop in golf course usage should be during Ramadan month.

Captain explained that there has been an appreciable drop about 10% in the number of usage on the golf course due to heavy rain in the month of February.

Tan Sri Chairman commented further that this percentage of usage is not too bad compared to previous years. There is slight increase in the usage of golf course in 2016.

2.4.5 Security & Safety of the Club

Tuan Haji Sophii (S1281) expressed his concerned on the Security & Safety aspects of the Club and would like Management to look into the matter seriously.

He highlighted that at Hole 14 Santubong surrounding the collar of the pond the bushes are thick and there could be possibility of crocodile hiding area. Golfers and Caddies are fond to look for golf balls in that hazard area and there are high possibilities that they may be attacked by crocodile hiding in the bushes. The present signage is too small as they are in A4 size paper and worded in black and would not be clear enough to warn Golfers or Caddies looking for golf balls surrounding the pond.

Tan Sri Chairman agreed to Tuan Haji Sophii’s comment and mentioned that new warning notice would be placed appropriately.

3. To receive the Annual Report and the Accounts for the preceding financial year for confirmation

4. Presentation on KGS Course Drainage

4.1 Presentation by the Director of Drainage & Irrigation Department

Mr. Chok Moi Soon briefed and presented on the Club’s drainage issues as follows:

4.1.1 KGS’s limitation and Issues

i. Rainstormhitcatchmentareaduringhightide,waterwillaccumulateatthelowerareaofthefloodplainuntil the tide recedes;

ii. Storage mainly within river channel;

iii. Increasing water discharge from nearby new housing development;

iv. Weirs/Check Dams within KGS area;

v. Siltation and vegetation within the drainage and river.

4.1.2 Course issues

i. Original soil within KGS are mainly clay and silt with some sandy clay on the higher ground;

ii. Clay and silt are of low permeability compared with sandy textured soils;

iii. Golf Course shaped and contoured from soil of low permeability;

iv. Siol, Demak and part of Santubong are low-lying ground with high water table;

v. Cohesive soil have strength characteristic highly dependent on soil moisture, when it’s wet they are prone to compaction due to reduce strength;

vi. Drainage outlet issue for Matang 9.

4.1.3 Recommendations by the DID:

i. Removal/modify Weirs in Sungai Siol Kiri;

ii. Dredging and widening of Sungai Siol Kiri (DID);

iii. Lower the water level at some of the ponds;

iv. Inventory mapping of existing surface and subsurface drainage system;

v. Explore option of extensive sand capping for low lying area especially in Siol, Demak and Santubong in addition to more surface and subsurface drainage improvement;

vi. Prepare an overall drainage master plan for KGS.

4.2 Presentation by Club Captain

Captain, Dr. David Sylvester Ling Sheng Tee briefed and presented KGS’s Drainage challenges and recommended some strategies moving forward:

i. Drainage out of the course

Captainmentionedthatthegolfcoursedrainagedependsonwaterflowingoutofthecourseandaswellaswaterflowingintothecourse.Hefurthermentionedthattoimprovetheoutflowofthewater,he would like to thank the DID who comes in every 2 years to dredge the river to make it deeper and cleaned the debris. This year, they have done a massive job near tee box Demak hole 12 to clear a bigchannelto improvethewateroutflowfromKGS.MatangishigherthanSantubong/Siol/Demak.MatangCoursehasits’ownlakesandpondwherebythereisnoplaceforthewatertoflowoutsidethecourse. All ponds at Matang end up at the pond near Tan Sri George Chan’s house. The only way out for the water @ Matang course is to go through 2 small drains behind Hole 5 Blue tee through Tan Sri George Chan’s fairway villa.

ii. Drainage within the course

Drainage within the course is a very delicate balance for a golf course to maintain the balance between the wet and dry season. He mentioned that during wet season, problem with the drainage and during dry season, problem with the irrigation. He mentioned that it is advisable that the course to be wet than dry because irrigation can be more expensive during dry season. Damage may just be as bad or worse. According to Mr. Chok, Kuching has one of the highest rainfalls in Malaysia. On 31st December 2015,itwasreportedthatSiolKirihasfloodedbeyondtheriverbank.

iii. Explanation on how the courses dry up

Captain mentioned the course dries up by evaporation, the water running through the surface or seeping through the soil and lastly drain through the subsurface pipes to the pond. He further elaborated that sunlight is crucial to enhance evaporation and we need to prevent greens from the shade. In January, Kuching only produce 3-7 hours of sunshine a day.

iv. Surface runoff

For the surface run off, it depends on gradient, height of grass and water table. KGS has suboptimal gradient & contouring and very high water table. The Surface run off depends on the natural contour andKGScontourisveryflat.Thecoursedesignhasalotofmoundsandvalleys.ItwasadoptedbytheCourse Designer during the reconstruction of Matang & Santubong back then in 2004. It also needs surface open drains such as monsoon drain or temporary surface drain during the wet season, keeping the rough short and some buggy tracks also form a very good channel to channel out the excess water. Santubong Hole 12 Sumps is lowered from the surrounding area. During Sermsak time, he has built a lot of mounds/berms to divert the rain water. The golf superintendent will arrange a temporary open drain which can help to identify wet areas. The level of the pond is lowed by breaking down few inches of the outlet. The subsoil drainage consists of seepage water of the soil in shallow drain called French

drain and into the sump and to the main subsoil drain. The subsoil drainage depends on the gradient andpermeabilityofthesoilandthatchliesonthesurfacetopreventthedownflowofthewater.KGShas clay based subsoil, poor sand capping and high water table. The drain should be ideally 0.75 m below surface of clay. Other factor which is affecting the water level is the soil. The soil can suck up water from underground.

In designing subsoil drains, if the fairway is good then natural system of drains will be used and if KGSislikeafootballfieldthenHerringbonesystemofdrainswillbeused.KGShavealotofsubsoildrainage work which started by Mr. Sermsak Vijitrat in May 2013 to November 2013 and took over by Mr. Paramjit Singh in May 2014 to January 2016 and continue after by Mr. Henry Ng starting in March 2016 and including coring. The result of the subsoil drainage at Matang Hole 8 shows some improvement.

To tackle the system in KGS, listed below are the strategies:

i) Surface run off ii) Evaporation iii) Subsoil drainage iv) Sand capping v) Water table vi) OutflowfromtheCourse vii) Maintenance of drainage systems and pond dredging

CaptainmentionedthatAustralianConsultantMr.KeithMcAuliffewouldliketohaveafullsandprofilebut not all Clubs have the budget to build a course to the Rolls Royce standard.

Captain mentioned that to keep the shape of Matang/Santubong and raise it by 3 feet of sand for 18 holesisamountingtoRM15million.TheballparkfigurewouldbeRM5-9millionfor18holes.Besidesthe cost of the drain there are also considerations for full sand capping where there is a need to reconstructthesubsoildrainage,reconstructthesprinklersystem,buildretentionwalls,re-turfingthefairways and greens, closure of courses, environment impact study is also required on Siol/Demak and the surrounding areas outside KGS. Full sand capped golf course will incur higher cost on irrigation system during dry weather.

There is suggestion by members on Segmental Sand capping on landing areas. Even though the sand capping improves the landing area, the intervening areas became worse of. The sand topping/dressing or partial height sand capping effectiveness has to be analysed. It helps with improvement of soil quality and helps with contouring over small areas. The most effective method is likely to be a combination of surface shaping with collection sumps and a close-spaced sub-surface drainage system.

Captain further mentioned that there is a need to get expertise a Drainage Consultant to plan the golf course drainage project as stated below.

i) Identificationofwetareasgenerallyandoneachhole ii) Surface collection areas iii) Seepage (Subsoil) Drainage needed iv) Selection of drainage system (pipes, siphon drains, pumps) v) Cost and labour estimates

Captain mentioned that it’s a monumental challenge for the Course and Ground Committee and Golf Maintenance team to handle KGS drainage system. There will be different view and criticism from members but all must work together to solve the challenges.

Tan Sri Chairman mentioned that majority of KGS course is made out of clay, came in the water catchment area and industrial Drainage is not there and compare to Damai Golf Club is a sand base course. He further mentioned that to form a Committee who are a drainage expertise in the drainage system and if appoint a consultant will be costly. He also mentioned the Committee will try to resolve the immediate ways of resolving the problem with the assistant of Mr. Chok and Captain. If you want a permanent solution at the same time don’t want to spend that much then we have to look for another alternative. He mentioned that the Committee need to do a clear study on the matter.

5. Any Other Business

As there was no other business, the Chairman adjourned the meeting at 1.00 p.m. and wishing all members Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2017.

REPORT OF THE CATERING COMMITTEE

Chairman : En. Kasim Gani

Members : Tuan Hj Sophie Hj Nawi Tuan Hj Zabidi Hj Shabaneh Tuan Hj Musa Hj Ibrahim En. David Liew En. Waili Hj Abang En. William Manggoi

The Catering Committee for the term 2016-2017, comprising of the above members had compiled its own standards operating Manual which had served to guide the appointed Sub-Committee members in exercising their roles, responsibilitiesandexecutestheirtasksclearly(clarityofexpectation),efficientlyandeffectivelytowardsitsobjectiveof“Striving to ensure all the catering providers at KGS deliver excellent products and services to the Club and members all the Times”.

The Sub-Committee Members, Club Management staff and respective Caterers had worked very hard as a team to solve issues and problems related to the delivery of quality products and services to the Club Members in accordance to the above set Objective in line with the Mission and Vision of the Club aiming to be a PREMIER GOLF CLUB in the Region.

However, it is to be reported here that the performances and quality of the products and services of the Caterers especially Thank Food Sdn Bhd during the last one year had deteriorated and had been unsatisfactory.

During this period, the Sub-Committee, Club Management staff and the Caterers had come up with many initiatives and innovationstryingtoimprovetheperformancesoftheCatererswhiletryingtofindouttherootcausesofthepoorandunsatisfactory performances of the Caterers. All the Caterers had indicated that their Revenue had decreased and during the months of December 2016 till March 2017 and as a result the Caterers were operating at a lost.

Thank Food eventually requested for the increase in their food and beverages prices. The Caddy Shed and Halfway House Canteen operators decided to ask for mutual termination of their contract prematurely. The Management Committee had consented to the increase in the Thank Food Sdn Bhd F&B prices and the mutual termination requested by the Caddy Shed and Halfway Houses Caterers.

The Sub-Committee and the Club Management had earlier in the year did our own analysis of the available statistics at the Club and deduced the followings:

i) Thenumbersofgolftraffichadreducedsteadilyoverthelastthreeyearssince2014;

ii) The number of playable days due to high rainfall days in the months of December till March annually had also decreased over the last three years;

iii) TheRevenueoftheCaterershadalsosteadilydecreasedproportionatelywiththedecreaseingolferstrafficoverthe last three years;

The Catering Sub-Committee felt that there is a close and direct co-relation between the weather, the conditions of the golf courses,thegolferstrafficandtherevenueoftheF&BoutletsattheClub.

If this downward trend continues to dip further down over the next few years, the same situations at both Samarahan Country Club and Damai Golf and Country Club will happen to KGS. There will be no more halfway houses canteen or maybe operating during the weekend only and the main Club House Restaurant may be downsized to a canteen standard operation or just having a few stalls selling noodles and rices menus only.

Going forward, the Club Management must come up with lot of efforts, innovations, incentives and creative initiatives toimprovetheconditionsofthecoursesduringthewetweatherperiod,increasethenumberofGolfingmemberswithplayingaffordabilitypolicyandchangethetypeornatureoftheF&BoutletsattheClubthatactuallyfitintotheneedanddemand of the Club members.

The performances of Thank Food Sdn Bhd during the year 2016-17 had been considered as not satisfactory in terms of its services.

There had been many complaints made by the members on the poor quality Services provided. The Catering Committee members and the Management staffs had many meetings with Thank Food Management team and followed up with letters to instruct them to improve their menus presentations and to re-train their waitresses or remove and replaced those arrogant and bad attitude staff.

Thank Food Sdn Bhd had on many occasions been instructed to continuously improve their standard of cleanliness, quality of food served, quality of services rendered, staff personal hygiene, staff code of conduct and behavior.
