Santain Manurun, who held the post of secretary general at SPF, claimed that SPF had over 38,556 members in Sabah and that their fate, following the name change, is unknown.
“Our rights was taken from us, just like that. There needs to be a solution to this problem,” he said.
He also contended that the name change from SPF to SWP was invalid as the pro tem president for SWP, Dr Ong Lark Sai is a Sarawakian.
“The Section 7 of the SPF constitution clearly defined that only Malaysians residing in Sabah were eligible to be members of SPF… since Ong is a Sarawakian, then it is invalid,” he said.
He also said the dissolution of SPF never took place.
Present during the meeting with the media was SPF honorary treasurer Joseph Lusin Balangon.
The name change allegedly took place sometime in May this year, and ROS senior assistant director Desmond Das was reported as saying then that SWP was the new name given to the old SPF, a party registered in December 2010.
He said the name change was legally provided under Section 11 of the Societies Act 1966.
He also said that following the takeover, SPF is now defunct.

GOOD CHANCE TO DECLARE THE TAIB SARAWAK WORKERS PARTY AS ILLEGAL!
ReplyDeleteSabah People's Front yang menjadi parti tidak sah, bukan Sarawak Workers Party.
DeleteWhat can they do now? Can they get back SPF?
DeleteNow SPF is the victim?
DeleteTanya sama Berman Angkam......!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBerman Angkam mungkin tahu sesuatu mengenai pertukaran nama dari Sabah People’s Front Party kepada Sarawak Workers Party ini.
DeleteWho is Berman Angkam?
DeleteSPF ini sudah lama terbubar, tidak aktif langsung dalam politik Sabah. Bagus tutup sajalah kalau tidak berminat berpolitik.
ReplyDeletesudah banyak parti dan pertubuhan di Sabah. kalau tidak aktif, mungkin boleh sudah dipertimbangkan untuk ditutup.
DeleteApa sumbangan SPF selama ini?
DeleteI don't think this is efficient for Sabahans.
DeleteSPF harus berkhidmat untuk rakyat. Rakyat memerlukan mereka untuk bersuara dan memperjuangkan yang terbaik untuk rakyat.
DeleteSPF sebelum ini tak ada sumbangan pun.
DeleteSebelum ini ada khabar angin bahawa Lajim Ukin akan keluar parti untuk mengambil alih SPF, tapi akhirnya beliau menubuhkan satu persatuan yang baru. Nampaknya SPF ini betul-betul tidak laku lagi.
ReplyDeletepemimpin seperti Lajim hanya pentingkan kedudukan. kalau tubuhkan persatuan baru sendiri, memang gerenti dapat jawatan tertinggi kan.
DeleteMacam-macam sudah parti dan political platform di Sabah ni. Mana saja yang mampu bawa perubahan dan beri impak yang signifikan?
DeleteSPF is not teething enough for him.
DeleteBanyak-banyak parti pun teda guna..buat masa sahaja..bukan boleh buat apa-apa juga.
DeleteLebih baik dibubarkan terus. Bukannya SPF benar diterima oleh rakyat di Sabah.
DeleteTak ada orang akan peduli sama ada SPF ini sah ataupun tidak, sudah lama mereka mengambil bahagian dalam politik, mengekalkan parti ini untuk apa?
ReplyDeleteGolongan muda tentu tidak familiar dengan SPF ini langsung.
DeleteLebih baik kurang2kan perstuan dan parti yang tidak memberi sebarang sumbangan dan impak positif kepada rakyat Sabah.
DeleteSPF ini hanya membuang masa saja.
DeleteSPF tidak relevan lagi. Serahkan kepada parti lain untuk berkhidmat untuk rakyat.
DeleteSokongan rakyat akan terbelah bagi jika banyak parti politik.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeletePertambahan parti politik di Sabah hanya akan memberi kesan negatif kepada Sabah.
ReplyDeletePari pembangkang terlalu banyak..perjuang mereka pun samar-samar.
DeleteSabah perlukan parti yang benar-benar memperjuangkan untuk rakyat.
DeleteSabah ni memang sudah terlalu banyak parti politik.
DeleteRakyat kena bijak untuk memikirkan mana yang terbaik untuk mereka.
ReplyDeleterakyat harus bijak menilai dan memilih.
DeleteThere are so many political parties in Sabah already.
ReplyDeleteDevelopment is what the people desire.
ReplyDeleteSabah semakin membangun..Terima kasih kepada kerajaan.. jadi tidak perlu tukar pari lain lagi.
DeleteIt is still the choice of the people to decide.
ReplyDeleteWe should watch out for the numbers of political parties out there.
ReplyDeleteIt is not political strategy either as the people's support will reduce.
Deletejumpa la terus dengan pihak ROS dan minta penjelasan..
ReplyDeleteya, sebaiknya minta penjelasan terus dari pihak ROS.
DeletePertambahan parti pembangkang cuma memberi lebih banyak laluan untuk BN terus memimpin.
ReplyDeleteTu la tu. Lebih banyak parti pembangkang di Sabah lebih cerah masa depan BN untuk menang.
Deletebiarlah pihak yang berkenaan selesaikan pekara ini.
ReplyDeleteapa pun yang berlaku biarlah ia diuruskan secara profesional.
ReplyDeleteLebih ROS jawab semua pertanyaan.
ReplyDeleteThe Registration of Societies Department is primarily concerned with the registration, control and supervision as well as the maintenance of records pertaining to registered societies and its branches throughout Malaysia so that they do not adversely affect security, peace, public order, good order, welfare or morality in Malaysia.

ReplyDeleteUnder section 2 of the Societies Act 1966, a society is defined as inclusive of any club, company, partnership or association of seven (7) or more persons whatever its nature or object, whether temporary or permanent. EXCLUSIONS are:
(a)any company registered under the provisions of any written law;
Delete(b)any company or association constituted under any written law;
(c)any trade union registered or required to be registered under any written law;
(d)any company, association or partnership formed for the sole purpose of carrying on any lawful business that has as its object, the acquisition of gain;
(e)any cooperative society registered under any written law;
(f)any organisation or association established under any written law relating to the registration of schools, that such organisation or association forms part of the curriculum of a school;
(g)any school, management committee of a school, parents' association or parent-teachers' association registered or exempted from registration under any law.
The Registrar of Society stipulates that to set up a society, the following is required:
ReplyDelete
DeleteAn inaugural meeting needs to be held on the formation of a society which is attended by not less than 7 persons and their names recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
The formative meeting must pass the following resolutions:
Delete(a) agree on the formation of the society.
(b) approve the name of the society.
(c) approve the place of business(address) to be registered.
(d) appoint Members of the Protem Committee for handling the registration of the society.
(e) approve the constitution and rules of the society to be registered.
(f ) record the proceedings of the inaugural meeting (minutes of the meeting) of the society
as well as the resolutions as enunciated above.
ReplyDeleteOnce your organisation is approved by the Registrar of Societies, you will probably want to open a chequeing/current account to manage your organisation's finances. The procedure might vary from bank to bank, but generally speaking, the following are what is required by a bank:
Delete- Completed Account Opening Form, which would include details for your elected office bearers;
- sight of your original Society Registration Certificate, and 2 photocopies of the same;
- 2 copies of your society's constitution;
- 2 copies of the minutes of society's AGM, detailing the names of elected office bearers and
their respective positions;
- 2 copies of a resolution passed in the affirmative by your executive to the effect that the
society intends to open an account with the relevant bank.
ReplyDeleteAll societies are required to submit tax returns to the (Malaysian) Inland Revenue Board (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri). The only exception is if your society has been set up for charitable purpose.
To submit a (societal) tax return, you will first need to apply for a tax file number by submitting an application for a File 'F' to an IRB office nearest to the registered address of your society. For a list of addresses of IRB offices, please visit the IRB website at http://www.hasilnet.org.my/Hasilnet/hasil.html.

ReplyDeleteOnce you have a File F, you can then submit a tax return using the appropriate Tax Return Form on an annual basis, just like you would with an individual or corporate filing.
