2. Management Committee 2015 – 2017 and Attendance
There were no elections for the year and all Committee Members remained the same.
Altogether there were 11 meetings. There were representations from the local MNRA when we had a meeting with GHRD on the Lump Sum offer. Mr. Rama Rao asked for special leave as he relocated to Johore Bahru.
3. Appointment of Honorary Auditors
The meeting appointed Mr. Raymond Lim and Encik Azhar Abdul Aziz as Honorary Auditors for 2016.
4. Membership Status
Effective 2nd February 2016, Nestlé Malaysia agreed to pay for the lifetime subscription of all Retirees who signed up as MNRA members. We have also sent out close to 520 membership recruitment letters to all other Nestlé retirees who are not yet MNRA members. These recruitment exercises helped to surpass our goal set at 450 members. The increase of 9.15% registered our total membership of 479 by 31st Dec 2016, with
452 Ordinary Life Members
14 Associate Members
13 Honorary Members
However, we are sad to advise that 7 Members passed away during the year.

6. Meetings with Nestlé Management
We met up with Mr Martin Krugel- Executive Director, Finance and Control, Encik Elvi Sazali Jaafar, Head of Accounting and Consolidation and GHRD represented by Mr Shahzad Umar and Encik Meor to discuss on the Lump Sum Offer Proposal to all Pensioners. The MNRA Committee (plus invited Committee members in the region) assisted by pre-empting questions which would be asked by Pensioners and making suggestions how this could be communicated to all by letter and to have Roadshows in Head Office and North/South Regions where they are more pensioners.
We believe all pensioners should have received their Lump Sum Offer letter by now.
The other pending issue is the Handbook for Pensioners which is due to be sent out by Quarter 1/2017.
