Candidates will have a Speech Time, an Individual Q&A slot, and a Group Q&A session.

1. Candidates running for the position of PRESIDENT will be given 5 Minutes per candidate for their speech time, 5 Minutes for their Individual Q&A Session, and 7 Minutes for Group Q&A Session.
2. Candidates for All Other Position will have 3 Minutes for their Speech, 3 Minutes of Individual Q&A time, and 5 Minutes of Group Q&A.
3. ONE Time Extension per Position for Group Q&A can be motioned for by the members. If the motion passes, the time for Group Q&A will be extended for a further 3 Minutes. A simple majority is required for the motion to pass.
4. Those who are interested in running for the election but missed the dateline may turn up on that day itself. We will reopen the nomination prior to the starting of the election. So long as there is one member who nominates you and another who seconds the nomination, you are eligible to run in the election.

SPEECH TIME can be used to explain and elaborate on your manifesto, convince why people should vote for you, and tell them why you are better than your opponent.

INDIVIDUAL Q&A TIME is where the members may ridicule your manifesto and question the arguments put forward by you during speech time. Be well prepared to back up what you said.

GROUP Q&A TIME brings all candidates for the same position together and question them at the same time. Members can compare answers given by each candidate for the same question and determine which answer is to their liking. (Can be extended once per Position. The time extension is 3 minutes.)

Decorum for Members

1. Only REGISTERED MEMBERS of MSSCF will be allowed into the AGM.
2. Please remain silent when the candidates are talking. You are only allowed to ask questions during the Individual Q&A time and Group Q&A time. NEVER interrupt the candidates during their Speech. It is just plain rude and disrespectful to them.
3. Please silent your Mobile Phone as you enter the venue.
4. All members can cast ONE vote per Position. If you think none of the candidates are suitable for the position they are running for, you may choose to vote for Reopen Nomination (RON). Reopening Nomination means you can reselect candidates for the position.
5. Your choice of a new candidate is limited to those who are present in the AGM, and subject to another member seconding the nomination of the new candidate. The new candidate must accept or reject the nomination on the spot.
6. For those of you who wish to run for an uncontested position, or think that you can outperform the current candidate on the list, you may prepare your own manifesto for the position and bring it along that day. Do take note that if you want to run for a contested position on that day, a majority of the members must vote for RON for that specific position, and you must have one member nominating you and one other member who seconds the nomination.
7. You can request to extend the time for Group Q&A. Each Position will be allowed one Time Extension, subject to a simple majority vote by the members. The request can be made at the end of the Group Q&A session.

‹ Heritage › 27th Feb 2010

• Best Cultural Event for 2008/2009
• Runner Up for Best Musical Event for 2008/2009

Make yourself available on the 20th February 2010 for our musical play, Heritage.

• “Some company workers have threatened the Penan with death if they continue to resist, and others are accused of raping Penan girls and women.”
• “The resettled Penan also struggle to pay the bills for water and electricity in their government-built homes.”
• “The Sarawak state government does not recognize the Penan’s rights to their land.”
• “The logging and plantation companies are preventing the Penan from being able to feed their children.”

Our first step to help the Penan tribe is to send as many letters as we have members to the Sarawak government. Please follow the step-by-step guide below, print out your letter, sign it, and pass it to any of our committee members (or contact our Secretary, Eugene at 07773710913. We also can arrange for someone to pick up your letters). We will send the letter on your behalf.

Save the Penan, write a letter.

Of course, not forgetting our international friends, there are other tribes all over the world in similar position as the Penan tribe whom will be needing all the support they can get. Find out if there is an endangered tribe in your home country, and I’ll put you in touch with someone from Survival International who can provide you with further information.

Thanks to those who participated in the event and we hope to see you in the near future!
