As we have crossed the financial year, it has come to our attention that several Ordinary Members have yet to renew their annual membership fees, despite the deadline set by the constitution under Clause 6(3). Unfortunately, this oversight has led to the suspension of your membership privileges.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure the seamless continuation of your membership benefits, we kindly request that you submit your payment by 31 March, 2024. Payment can be made through online transfer to SGGS A\/C 561 239 610 866 (Maybank). Please show the bank-in slip to our Honorary Treasurer, Mr. Charles Soo, at 019-884 9869, or opt for in-person payment for him to bring to upcoming EXCO meeting for approval. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the automatic cessation of your membership.<\/p>\n<p>For Ordinary Members with outstanding membership fees for two(2) consecutive years will be considered no longer members of SGGS unless a fresh application form is submitted for membership.<\/p>\n<p>Your continued support is crucial to the success of SGGS, and we appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you for being a valued member of our Society, and we look forward to your continued participation.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>(Signed)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charles Soo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hon.
