Comments

Unlike the previous SOPs where it expressly allows online AGM/EGM be convened, this set of SOP appears to have removed that option and the procedures relating to an online AGM/EGM. After getting confirmation from KPKT, it is confirmed that online AGM / EGM is similarly not permissible since the organiser (of the online AGM / EGM) and committee members are still required to be physically present at the broadcasting venue.
