Paid Holiday

Its been almost two months since i retired but life is still as hectic as ever.My roles as Chairman of Kota Mas and Angkasa Federal Territory ensured that my diary is full with meetings , functions , dinners and courses to attend. The first major function that i attended was the Kota Mas AGM.Thank God I was reelected as the Chairman for another year.Kota Mas recorded its highest profit in its history i.e RM 8.2M for 2008.The AGM approved a dividend of 7.25%--quite a respectable rate considering the state of the economy.
I also had the opportunity to attend the National Coop Day celebration held on 20 June 09 at Ipoh.The DPM officiated the event.The Minister for Coop Dato' Sri Ismail Sabri cut Kota Mas 87th Anniversary /Birthday Cake.FYI Kota Mas is the country's first Coop registered on 21 july 1922.This coop was awarded the Prime Minister's Quality Award in 2000 and The National Coop Award in 2003--THE 2 highest awards and therefore we are not in a position to win any other awards unless the rules are reviewed by the Authority!

That's all for now.I titled this excerpt 'Paid Holiday'cos as per the terms of my contract with TM I was given a 3-month pay-out by TM.I looove TM!I still have another month of 'Paid Holiday' so I better make the best of it!Gonna listen to my old Derek and Dominoes 'Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs' CD now.Ta Ra
