Another Day of History is Marked at the ASC Adjourned AGM

It was reported the first history that the AGM of ASC earlier on 6 April 2014 had to be adjourned because the new treasurer Bobby Tan and the Dean had produced an unbalanced & unaudited financial statements.  The minutes recorded by the secretary for the 2013 AGM were also erroneous.   The AGM has proceeded in English but when members highlighted the mistakes of the secretary, she got agitated and raised her voice to reply in Bahasa Malaysia.  The AGM had to be adjourned to 29 June 2014 because the minutes reported wrong date and time of the 2013 AGM and contents were factually erroneous.  It was a total waste of time to call for members to the AGM be presented with such a shabby report. Dean Chak is now reaping the harvest of his own labour sowed a year ago. Whose fault to blame other than Chak himself and his aides?  Chak had solicited the bogus voters from the members mostly from the BM service, the domestic maids and the gardeners who did not know who they were voting to do the job other than instructions from the leaders and staff of the church.

Some of the interesting facts worth to explore further from the adjourned AGM were as follows:

1. Why is it so ambiguous that the auditor who has been in practice for so long didn't want to put his signature as a person?
2. Is the audit report legal and valid?
3.  Why Diocesan Chancellor Datuk Stephen Foo again appeared to give ill advice that the members should vote to accept the financial statements despite some members proposed not to be accepted?
4.  When some qualified members offered help to do the work free of charge, the Dean chose to pay his good buddy to do the work for a fee with many excuses nobody wanted to take up the job.  Thereafter failed to produce the audited financial statements in the earlier AGM. Why?
5.  Observation to be continued if Chak continues with his auditor buddy for the year 2014 financials despite 2 names of honorary auditors were put forward.
6.  Will the PCC bothered to make those amendments after it was voted to accept despite some members raise doubts?

Members came with great expectation to hear from the new treasurer to explain the financials but he appeared very much inept.  He only could blame he had no information to the figures prior to 2006.  Does this sound like they are trying to put the blame to people prior to BAV? There were few merry go rounds between the new treasurer and the new auditor but still they could not answer to the hard core questions posed by some members who knew no non sense to the financials.

There are lots of capable professionals in ASC and it is a sad case to see how the pastors and priests had manipulated the Church of Jesus Christ for the sake of one man no other than BAV. The professionals do proper work.  Chak had to act foolish to condone to BAV’s scheming so he can please his boss. In future, members will not waste their time to attend ASC AGM with that sort of reporting quality. The secretary could not speak English in the AGM conducted in English. What more can we expect good reports from her? Poor reporting indicates no confidence in the leaders, which leads to low attendance and low contributions in terms of money. ASC is in the mess.  The financial state had gone worse with the inept new treasurer playing the role of the clown.  

It is now time for repentance for the leaders of ASC, from the priest and pastors who had been selfish in the previous AGM manipulated with the votes to enable people of their choice as PCC. ASC members had been gracious to wait and see the performance of the PCC voted in by bogus voters but these PCC had made it the worst in the history of ASC 2014 AGM.

We declare Victory for the Lord and the Message is clear!

The Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC) had its first meeting on 23 May 2012 and the Court of Appeal granted the Appeal to the Complainant on 23 May 2014 that Ecclesiastical court (E Court) is to be convened by the HOB and a copy of the recommendation by the PAC to be released to the complainants.  More fairness has been brought into light. Exactly 2 years and what a coincidence on the dates and surely God had affirmed the voice of the righteous is not to be ignored and He is ALIVE giving HOPE to those who have been praying unceasingly.

What happened to the 3 bishops referred to as the House of Bishops “HOB” between year 2012 and now? Had they been bought over by the generous love gifts of RM50,000 cash from the Diocese of Sabah initiated by BAV? If their thinking were rational enough, that amount of RM50,000 was only a small crumbs of BAV spent for his holidays to United States, England with his wife and also the luxury cars Toyota Alphard, Honda CRV he bought using the DOS’ money and not to mention the millions that went to Thailand through Philip Lo’s personal account.   Yet, the Diocesan Treasurer Michael Tong had the face to lie through his teeth to allow his relative Herbert Tong to declare in the thanksgiving service that the accounts of the Diocese of Sabah were in order.  How can we trust him? He could not even tell the members how many signatories to the bank accounts of the DOS when asked in the dialogue. If so he declared the accounts in good order, why were the accounts since 2006 not being re-audited as requested by the members?  How to convince the members there is no mishandling of money if everything else was swept under the carpet with a convenient sweeping statement? 

We have been reminded constantly by BAV in his preaching about Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:3-4. Why? BAV must have been bearing with the guilt from God on the messages but due to greed for worldly processions and power it has been too difficult for him to refuse and get on to the disobedience with God.

Time has come that the Lord says it is Him who shall reign and rule the Church because the Church belongs to the Lord. The church is not meant for those who want to abuse, corrupt and being malicious.  We hope the HOB will fear God than man.

All these while HOB had defended themselves desperately even to the extent of losing their status as a non-legal entity in the earlier High Court session. All these were just to deny their duty to convene E Court to put the Church of Jesus Christ back into the right biblical perspective.  Why were they so foolish? Had the appellant and the church not bothered to appeal to put right the status of the Diocese formed in the Province and the rightful duties of the HOB under the constitution, the Provincial Diocese that has been built over the past many years by the previous faithful bishops and clergies would have been down to the history to carry its defunct duty as a non-legal entity. The short term convenience for the current HOB was too great of the impact to its long term effect of defunct status. 

We hope the HOB will be more serious in their biblical stand as the Head of the Diocese in the province. It would be very foolish of them to appeal to the Federal Court to reinstate their non-legal entity status of which they compromised and messed themselves up for the sake of one sick man, the devil of all evils.  The whole world is watching how they handle and charge their spiritual duties over this devil whom has been the complaint of many members with the abuse of power, greed for money for personal gain, slander to those who serve God faithfully, wicked to those who walk righteously and you can name all the unbiblical acts.  

When BAV was struck with cancer, was it not God has spoken it is time for the Church to have a new leader? Leaders, awake and stop sinning! God had spoken many times and to many different people Ezekiel 34 but none has feared God.  The HOB has been too gentle and kind to the extent that God’s standard has been compromised. Why had they allow BAV to rule and divide further when God has already spoken to us so clearly a new Shepherd is to be appointed to lead the church? 

“Ezekiel 34 :7 “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ⁸ As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because my flock lacks a shepherd and so has been plundered and has become food for all the wild animals, and because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, ⁹ therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ¹⁰ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them.”

Many may have said, BAV already struck with cancer, why are we not sparing him?  Had he not become more vicious than ever after he was struck with illness? People in general had been kind hearted towards him despite he had gotten the best perceived treatment from Singapore all under the expenses of the DOS yet not to the knowledge of many these could be sought after from the local hospital as confirmed by a local oncologist.  What more can we expect of BAV?  Despite his illness, BAV had demoted certain priests and demanded publicly certain pastors to resign.  Who has called these clergies to ministries? Was it BAV or God? 

Do we still want this kind of sick man to lead our Diocese? Rather, this sick man had disqualified himself physically and spiritually as the leader of the Diocese.  Why is the HOB having so much difficulty to charge their responsibility over him?  Need not to be trial in the E court he is already physically unfit to work as a person under the constitution.  The whole Diocese has been divided because of one selfish sick man.  In order to avoid further embarrassment, HOB should ask BAV to resign gracefully, surrender himself unto God in total repentance, realign his spiritual intimacy again with God and render apologies to all mankind he has ever offended, abused, slandered and cursed.  Only God will have the final say if he is granted a second chance again.

HOW SOON CAN GOD GIVE US A NEW BEGINNING?

God is the Alpha & Omega, the beginning and the end. 

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.  Ecclesiastes 3:1

It has been reported that BAV is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and undergoing chemotherapy treatment in Singapore. Is it not a sign that time is up for this season and a new season will begin with a new bishop for the Diocese of Sabah? BAV had fought so hard just to cling on to his position as a Bishop because of power and money but NOT God.   

Let aside money matters, what about those lives that God has ordained and called into full time ministries? Pastors and Priests have been called by God to serve Him.  What has BAV done to them? Is this BAV’s common saying for those who follow the Word of the Lord and do not condone to BAV’s wrong teaching? “If you are not with me, I want you to resign now!”  If those priests continue to stay on, it is just meaningless because BAV has already blacklisted them.  What love does BAV preach as compare to those in the marketplace? God has given BAV every opportunity while he is a bishop but God’s name has always been taken in vain.  The prophesy of Ezekiel 39 is soon to come to past.

BAV supporters should fear God and be on their knees because the signs are so clear that BAV is no longer physically fit to continue holding on to the post. Ill characters have brought shame to God and it is so sad the history of the Diocese of Sabah has to be recorded with such events.  BAV has said repeatedly he will not resign.  God has allowed such circumstances to happen til now to show mankind it is Him we should trust because He is sovereign.   

Does it mean this will soften the hearts of people not to insist on BAV to be investigated for the accounts of DOS through his tenure as a Bishop? We should be mindful black is black and white is white.  The cries of people begun two years ago asking for good governance in managing God’s monies but they have been ridicule, mocked and cursed by BAV and his supporters.

Whatever wrong that has been conducted, BAV will still has to go through the process to make things proper. God’s judgement is near and His wrath is fearful to all. The HOB, Bishop Moses Tay, Herbert Tong, assistant bishops John Yeo, Melter Tais and BAV’s close aides Philip & Stella Lo, Esther Liew are the most guilty because they influenced and kept quiet to allow BAV continue sinning. Other supporters of BAV’s wrong conduct are Stephen Foo, Kenneth Thien, Chris Chiew, Yong Thiam Choy, Chak Sen Fen and Michael Tong. The silence of these people are the consequences of BAV's suffering now.

What is God’s Way Forward?

Only when men fear God, then it is the beginning of wisdom.  That’s why we have seen so much foolishness being revealed in our DOS.  How do we see an end to our crisis when men in white robes (priests) are still playing God?   

People who played the upper hand included the commissary and the mediator.  The commissary, Herbert Tong, a resigned priest, ex-Anglican was nominated by Bishop Albert Vun (BAV) to act on his behalf while he was instructed by the PHOB to go on sabbatical leave due to this entire crisis. The mediator, Moses Tay is an ex-Anglican, retired Singapore Bishop.  Members were already very skeptical when these men (ex-Anglicans) were nominated by BAV and approved by the Provincial House Of Bishops (PHOB).  Moses Tay not only failed his duty to the entire DOS as the mediator to protect the sheep from further attacks but he joined the flock of wolves in our DOS to kill more innocent sheep. Why? For the very simple reason, the PHOB had failed by allowing ex-Anglicans to solve our problems.  

How can ex-Anglican feel the pain and effect of crisis of the existing Anglicans?   Do you think they are interested in solving our crisis?  They only like to be associated with popularity, power and money. 

How to unite the church if the PHOB refuse to acknowledge the root cause of the entire issue arising from this very crisis?  We can only conclude the PHOB are also of such standards and characteristics of wolves.

In the most recent AGM of ASC, it is confirmed that BAV, the new Dean of ASC (Chak Sen Fen), mediator and other priests had all played evil politics to disunite the church for their selfish gain.  Evidenced in their most confidential emails has revealed that they were scheming ways to get rid of certain diligent people to serve in the council who could possibly object and reveal the darkest acts of these upper hand dressed in white robes.

Instead of confession and repentance, these white robers have blamed such revelation as the problems of hackers to emails.   Don’t you think so?  We call this revelation of God.  God is certainly not pleased with these sins.  When God is for us who can be against us?”  Certainly, God has not for the white robers.

Is the PHOB convinced now BAV is the real devil?  The severity of this crisis has gone beyond the superficial factors of merely finding an excuse to justify the cause if they are serious in solving.  It is no longer about dealing with anger and unforgiveness of members.  It is about dealing with a power crazy devil who wants to rule and abuse with power and money of the DOS for his selfish gain. Do you not call that robbing God?

How far had we progressed? Half-time had passed for BAV’s sabbatical leave. What had the commissary and the facilitator done to this very crisis? Are we the same between now and a year ago?  Have we seen any visible positive signs of the way forward?   Sorry to say the answer is NO!   

Was Sabbatical leave originally intended with grace for BAV to pray and realign back to God or for him to abuse the kingdom of God more?  BAV has treated this as holiday cum opportunity to earn extra side income whilst he is still getting salaries from DOS, he also gives instructions as if he is always the bishop. What difference had it make to have BAV on leave and a commissary and mediator to go through this process?  Are we not watching the entire scene like “Wayang Kulit”? The independent state of mind of the commissary and the facilitator in solving this crisis is now being eminently questioned and challenged.

The PHOB had wasted our money and time.  Have they not failed their duties as higher regulatory bodies of the Anglican Diocese of South East Asia and tried to be the good guys up there full of grace and love but dare not tell their own brother to stop sinning for the sack and his Church.  Isn’t it they have failed their duties of PHOB? Have they not created such a mockery to the entire world who is watching us with this crisis?

We should not lose heart but stay focused unto God and as guardians to the Church of Jesus Christ.  This is a spiritual battle for we are not fighting against our own flesh but forces of the darkness.

What is God’s way forward?  Can a leader still lead the church when he has been alleged with so many criminal acts yet failed to justify himself with any reasonable explanations?  Why is he not bold enough to explain himself?  If BAV is not wrong, why is he removing people with evidence and sidelined people who spoke against his dirty acts instead, he console his own self by only promoting people who condone with his dirty and sinful deeds?

Does BAV still fit to be the leader of DOS when he has lost the respect from people?  Excluding people who do not know what is going on (like those innocent Indonesian maids in the BM congregations, who only knew free transports and meals unknowingly exchanged their votes for BAV scheme), those who benefits from BAV in small or mega projects, those who rely on the DOS to feed their family, those who are in BAV’s philosophy school of ministry hoping to work in DOS one day, those trying to get into the inner circle of BAV for other gains, who else will still say BAV is an honorable man and fit to be our leader for DOS?  Sorry to say there is none!  Can he still fit to be a leader? 

The only way forward is to see BAV to step down for the church to regain her confidence in the system that has been abused and rotted once again to be revived through Christ Jesus.
