    5. Philip Mah of 295 #08-03 suggested that Ms Cheng Ah Lain and Paul Lim should also be in line with the majority of the sale committee as they have voted against the en-bloc in the EOGM. Ms Cheng agreed.

    10. To Allen Walters query whether he is for the common interest of the SPs since he voted against, Paul Lim said that he is going to share all his expertise from his job to work for the best interest of the Committee, and confirmed that he is for en-bloc.

    11. SP Ricky Yap 295 #16-06 voiced that there cannot be two camps in the Sales Committee.

    12. Ms Cheng suggested that as a trained accountant she could contribute effectively even though she would resign.

    13. The committee welcomed her decision to serve and encouraged her to reconsider joining the Sales Committee instead of the MC.

    14. The Chairman in closing the meeting said that ample notice would be given to SPs so that they could also participate in the meetings.
