KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 — The dissolution of the Malaysia Sepaktakraw Federation (Mastaf) needs to be in accordance with the constitution of the parent body, including being decided through a special general meeting.
International Sepaktakraw Federation (Istaf) secretary-general Datuk Abdul Halim Kader said this was as provided under Clause 45.1, where the action of dissolution also needs to be approved by two-thirds of the affiliated members who have the right to vote.
“Clause 45.2, meanwhile, states that if dissolved according to Clause 45.1, then all valid debts must be settled by Mastaf (while) the balance, if any, should be handed over to the Public Trustee.
“Meanwhile, Clause 45.3 states that the dissolution decision must be submitted to the Sports Commissioner’s Office within 14 days from the date of dissolution,” he said in a statement today.
Abdul Halim added that, at the same time, Istaf need to get a verified copy of the minutes of the general meeting of dissolution from Mastaf that the dissolution was agreed upon by two-thirds of the affiliated members who have the right to vote.
“The minutes of the general meeting must also be signed by the Mastaf president and secretary-general as well as the individual who took down the minutes,” he said.
On Tuesday, Bernama reported that Mastaf president Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman announced the dissolution of the governing body with immediate effect.
Datuk Suhaili added that the matter was discussed by the federation’s committee on December 8 and was not based on the decision of the Perlis Sepaktakraw Association (PSTPs) to rejoin the Sepaktakraw Association of Malaysia (PSM).
