In our defense

by kah-yoong

With reference to the slander posted by Founder/Paksu at www.satrianeoclub.com

I’d
like to inform everyone (when this forum opens to the public) that it’s
all a deliberate lie, trying to tarnish our image and mission for the
club.

Kami
mengambil keputusan menutup kelab ini kerana tidak mahu terlibat dengan
kurang ajar beberapa ahli kelab yang tidak puas hati kerana tidak dapat
membuat bisnes terhadap ahli-ahli kelab. Antara ahli-ahli tersebut:
Einhander, keegan, shift, zasryn, rusty nail, dir3wolf, iridescent,
gate-crasher, sunnykruizer, iceblue, neoryder, dub.helix dan beberapa
orang lagi yang sengaja mendaftar dan mambuat havoc untuk memberi
gambaran buruk terhadap founder.

First off, the ‘kurang ajar’
that was mention was merely a strong enquiry of their promises they
made 4 months ago that has yet to be fulfilled (Apexi turbo timer lucky
draw). Instead of answering to our questions which probed deeper into
their mismanaged accounts which was closed to public and their
incompetency of handling the t-shirt sales which dragged for two full
months, the threads were deliberately hidden or deleted. This shows
that the forum admin are hiding something form the members (personally i’d call this as kurang ajar). And this
caused an outrage. The names mentioned above are legitimately elected
committee members, which is also influential active senior members in
both forums and gatherings/activities. They have no ties with the so
called newbies that registered and caused havoc. it’s easy for Founder
to jump into conclusions especially when Founder went on a banning
spree on committee members who still pressure Funder to give a
satisfactory answer on the on going censorship (closing/deleting
threads) and other questions that he brushed aside.

Mereka
ini bercadang hendak menjadikan kelab ini sumber pendapatan lumayan
mereka. Bayangkan jika mereka caj RM100 setiap ahli dan jika ada 200
orang membayar; cubalah kira sendiri. Founder tidak bersetuju hendak
mengikut telunjuk mereka dan oleh kerana meraka merasa marah tidak mahu
mengikut mereka, mereka membuat penghinaan dan hasutan serta
cerita-cerita negatif serta menjadikan topik TSHIRT sebagai senjata
membuat hasutan ini. Jika anda ada membaca satu topik forum yang
menyenaraikan ‘ahli-ahli’ ciptaan mereka yang bukan dibuat oleh
founder, dimanakah nama founder sebagai pengasas kelab ini? Mereka
hendak menyingkir orang yang mula-mula mengasaskan website ini. Ada
banyak perkara yang tidak diketahui umum yang kami tidak mahu nyatakan
tetapi rata-ratanya berniat buruk seperti mengatakan kepada pihak
tertentu website ini mereka yang buat dan mengambil kesempatan atas
ranking website untuk tujuan-tujuan tertentu. Mereka tidak berpuashati
kerana founder tidak mahu menjadikan website ini seperti website SATRIA
GTI yang caj ahli-ahli kelab.

Yes, www.satrianeoclub.com
members did have a members meet up with GTI club members before. And at
that time, the committee was not formed yet. There were there to gather
information on club registration and making it official thus entitle www.satrianeoclub.com
members to benefits by sponsors and also endorsement by proton. A week
after the meet up with GTI members, the committee was formed and they
unanimously agreed that a one time RM100 membership fee is too steep
and further discussions and meetings were held on that subject. The
committee has yet to reach a conclusive proposal of the membership fee
which is entirely voluntary (latest news is that a one time fee of RM50 plus paid members will get a goodie bag containing not less than 5 items). The forum will still be free for use for
normal members while paid members will have exclusive rights on
additional forum features and other benefits form the club sponsors and
supporters. These details were also discussed with the admin of www.satrianeoclub.com
however they could not agree to the terms as merchandising has to be
transfered to elected members and the forum has to run on a shared
admin basis, not a dictatorial admin, like what www.satrianeoclub.com is right now. Fueled by greed, Paksu even went further to impose a Rm500 yearly fee and RM200-300 monthly service fee if www.satrianeoclub.com is to be officially registered. This statement was denied by Founder, Paksu and Farina.

Tujuan
kami membuat kelab yang tidak official ini adalah untuk keseronokan
semua tetapi oleh kerana ada pihak yang hendak mengambil kesempatan
atas kepopularan website ini, kami terpaksa menutupnya. Bagi mereka
yang telah memesan T-Shirt, sila hubungi FARINA di talian 012-3488835
untuk mengambilnya. Jika anda masih mahu website ini ‘wujud semula’
sila SMS FARINA dan kami akan menimbangkannya semula.

The main
reason why the admins of the forum refuses to officially register the
club because they want exclusive merchandising rights, which was lead
to abuse by them. Furthermore, the reason why we committee members are pressing for a official registration, is that we can take the club to greater recognization by the public and also benefits from club sponsors and supporters. Lastly, the admin have confused a forum with a proper managed car club. They think that by putting the word “club” into the forum, makes it a club. That is what they want people to think, so that they can merchandise on the name.
