| Members of the Club are advised that at the Annual General Meeting held on 26th June 2005 the house approved the following Resolution:-
"The Constitutional Rules be amended to require the Proposer and Seconder of any requisition for the convening of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), in accordance with Rule 58(i) to have a written requisition signed in that behalf by not less than one hundred (100) Ordinary/Life Members of the Club stating the reason for convening such meeting except in the case of a member requesting for an EGM with regard to his expulsion pursuant to Rule 25(ii).
Further provided that the General Committee be empowered to incorporate this amendment to the revised Constitutional Rules of the Royal Selangor Club which have been submitted to the Registrar of Societies which is pending approval".
Arising from the above an application was made to the Registrar of Societies for the Club Rules to be amended accordingly.
We are pleased to advise that the Registrar of Societies has approved the amendment to Rule 32(viii), 32(ix) and 33(ii) on 9th March 2006 and the amended Rules shall read as follows:-
32. (viii) The General Committee may convene an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Club
whenever they deem it expedient and shall do so upon receipt of a written requisition
signed in that behalf by not less than one hundred members of the Club stating the reason for convening such meeting.
32. (ix) If within twenty-one days of receipt of such requisition the General Committee do not proceed to cause a meeting to be held, the requisitionists or any one hundred members of the Club may themselves convene the meeting.
33. (ii) No resolution to rescind, add to, amend or otherwise alter these Rules shall be brought before or moved at a General Meeting unless it has had the support of not less than two-thirds of the General Committee:
Provided that such a resolution, which does not have such support shall, if requisitioned by not less than one hundred Ordinary and/or Life Members, be included by the General Committee in the agenda for the next General Meeting.
