Report from the Hon Secretary, Protem Committee

Introduction

·       MNRA was formed by about 20 Nestle retirees on 14^th October 2010 with the following aims and objects:

1. To foster continuous links and interaction with the company
2. To provide platform for social networking to meet old    colleagues and meet the new ones
3. To organize social activities for its members
4. To encourage, foster and develop the qualities of goodwill and   understanding, and
5. To provide welfare services where and when necessary

·       The above aims and objects speaks for itself that the MNRA as an NGO and not a Union.

·       The MNRA is opened to only the official retirees of Nestle Malaysia Berhad as per the list supplied by the Human Resource Department and must be 55 years and above.

·       Currently, 80 retirees including the founders have signed up as members and approved by the committee on 20 April 2011.  Few more applications have been received and pending approval.

·       The subscription is very cheap.  The Life Membership subscription is only RM50.00.  I think is the cheapest in town.  Those retirees who have yet to sign up are requested to sign up immediately.  Come next AGM in March 2012, we will be proposing an amendment to the constitution to increase it to RM100.00 or RM150.00.

·       We are very new and need money to run the organization.  If you have spare ringgits in your pockets or handbag, you can give some donation to the organization to organize the activities.  Our income at the moment is only the subscription of RM50.00.  Please give us your support, cooperation and assistance.  Please give your donation to Mr. Lim Ho Choy and ensure you get a receipt from him.
